Lily (2nd grade) is doing a Flat Stanley unit in her class in Greenwood, Indiana; and sent him to visit us here in Singapore.  We showed Flat Stanley a good time, and sent him back to Indiana with some treats.

Musings from Arab Street

This last weekend, we spent part of Saturday on Arab Street, enjoying the colors, fabric stores, food, shopping and the sites.  The girls even enjoyed most of it, especially the food (I think it even surprised them how much they liked it).
