Those doughnut things

Yesterday I was hugging and kissing the boys and telling them that there was nothing greater to me than getting hugs and kisses from them. Dawson agreed, saying he loved getting kisses from me. I asked Kenan if getting hugs and kisses was his favorite thing in the world. He said, "no, those doughnut things are my favorite." Thanks, Kenan, glad to know how I rank in the world. :)

So since those doughnut things are so special to him, I thought I'd post about them.

They are made of millet (an animal feed in the States) or sometimes corn. There is a little sugar in them I think as well. They are fried and are like doughnut holes, I guess, but definitely less sweet. Kenan loves these things. During Ramadan, he was eating them every night for dinner since they lady was cooking them then. Now, since people are eating again in the mornings, she cooks only in the morning so now they are his breakfast/morning snack.

He runs down to the corner (not watching out for the motorcycles well I must add) and hands her the money. It's usually our neighbor, Ami, but lately a younger family member has been selling them. I've forgotten her name at the moment.

We sit and wait for a little bit. And then they are off back to the house.

I had to add this one because Silas started off so far behind Kenan and then you see him pass him. It just speaks to the speed and personality of the two boys. Kenan is our low key, slow mover. Silas is about speed and getting things done.

Getting ready to eat.

Thankfully the boys are skinny enough that we don't have to worry about them eating fried food all the time...at least for now.
