We have just begun our spring break! The girls have today (Thursday) and well as all next week off. Today, we are just at home…there is a huge fort being built in our living room, and I’m happy to have the time to sit at my computer and get caught up on things like writing my blog. They did not want to go anywhere today. Lucy and Caroline have brought home 2 pets from school…one is a worm named “Ms. Squirmy” and the other is a beetle (who was born from a meal worm in class!) named “Mr. Wiggles.” They have enjoyed making lego obstacle courses for their pets. Poor bugs…I suspect their lives will be short.
We plan on going on a road trip to Oman on Sunday for 4 days. We are so excited about seeing this part of the Middle East. We’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about this country, it’s people, beautiful mountains and surroundings. I will be happy to report on it when we return.
I met 2 of my closest college friends (Lisa and Jane) in London at the end of February for a long weekend. It was so wonderful to catch up with some of my favorite people from Texas! I loved every minute of that weekend! Needless to say, there was a lot of laughter and reminiscing!
I organized a very first annual Girl Scout overnight camp out in Dubai last weekend! We have about 60 people there including girls and parent volunteers! It was such a fun weekend, complete with crab catching, jelly fish catching (the harmless blue ones), ropes course, tents, cook out, s’mores, and sing song! It was such a great success. Some photos are below.
My sister, Laura, and her family come to Dubai April 14th! We are so excited for their visit. We have all 7 days planned out. We will be sending them home exhausted, but full of wonderful memories.
Today is my dad’s 75th birthday! I am happy that my sister and brother in Santa Fe celebrating with him today, but I’m sad I’m not there with them. We are all missing my mom especially because it was this time one year ago when she passed away on April 10. I continue to think of her and miss her every single day.
Until next time….
