Update
Some more pictures will come any day now but right now I only have energy for an update.
We had a great time with my dad here however I think it was very strange for the kids that he was not staying with us, they missed having him around in the mornings and evenings etc. Lots of good dinners and I "celebrated" my birthday with dinner at Meet Argentinian Steakhouse. The food is just great and I enjoyed it alot!
When it comes to the Dubai updates we have decided to fill a container and we will take as much of our furniture as we think we can have use for. The price for sending the container is too much to justify it if we dont bring some furniture so we can save some money on what we have to buy once there. After all, most of the stuff was bought when we moved to our new place only 2 years ago, things can come with us. We feel like we really want to send a container so we dont limit ourselves in what we can bring when it comes to things that do not really have money value but we´d like to bring anyway. And kids stuff, toys and books, they would want them there.
Yesterday we got brilliant news, A got a place at the school we had picked as first preference. We havent seen it, we just went with the opinion of the maltese canadian couple (J and J) that visited us a couple of week ago, they seemed like 2my kind of people" so I trust that things will be good and if not we can always look for another school for next year. We were really happy though cause he had been put on waiting list, as number 10 we were told and we thought we´d have to look for another school, at least for the first year but as J had said, if you chase them a bit they will give you a place. And so we did, we tried to find a reason to contact them on a weekly basis and also slipping in the question about if there was a spot for A, and highlighting that they were our first choice etc etc. Seems it paid off :D
Yesterday I went with J for an outing, we went to the same farm I went to with grade 1 last week. She enjoyed it and pictures will follow when I have the energy to upload them. Right now im knackered, we started clearing out the garage and already took 3 carloads of rubbish to the recycling plant. We will try to push hard with the packing so we make sure we wont be too stressed the last week before its time to load the container.
