This weekend passed quickly but was great. Yesterday J went to play with a friend from nursery last year. An irish girl she has always talked a lot about, even during the summer. It was great for the girls to meet up and for the mums to catch up a bit. "Forced" the kids to a siesta so that we could go out in the evening. Dubai Mall with the dancing fountain was planned. Since we slept early we could leave quite early and I even had chance to check out some shops and came home with a skirt! Regardless what I sometimes think about the kids behaviour it is now a pleasure to take them out for a meal. They sit fairly still while waiting for the food and do behave well over all and this is lovely for us who like to eat out every now and then.

 

Today we went to the "slide pool" at Habtoor hotel and had a great time too. Even going to the pool has become more fun now that the kids have gained even more confidence and you dont have to be keeping a constant eye. Unfortunately it became a bit too hot a bit too quick and to top it up they cranked up the music way too loud for some water exersices and we just gave up. In the afternoon we had some friends over, the idea was for J and their daughter to play but J was not on form. She was tired and prefered to play mostly on her own. In the end I think everyone had a nice afternoon and it always lovely to meet these guys. Tired kids are now getting ready for bed and I should be preparing for school tomorrow.
