The Tooth Fairy come twice in three days.

Jaime lost her first and second tooth with three days. The tooth fairy was great writing letters to Jaime for her lovely teeth. Now for that stage all kids go through! The goofy smile stage. Also though I would add a photo of the view from our new villa. Yes we still have the Burj Al Arab in our sights.

Jack turns 8

Jack also got the day off school for his birthday but thats because it is the UAE National Day. 
We took Jack and 5 of his friends to the Mirdiff City Centre to do the sky trail and some rock climbing. Followed by lunch at Chillis and a Cold Stone Creamery cookie dough ice cream cake. The boys got all harnessed up and went on the flying fox down one side and onto the cargo nets to begin. Jack and Tom were old pros at it and the others were amazing as it was their first time. It is basically a obstacle course 3 floors high up and you are suspended on a rail the whole way. The rock climbing was next and the boys had a great time. Jack then went to Hambleys and was allowed to buy with his birthday money the Harry Potter Castle Lego. Andrew and I had such fun the next day building it. Hope Santa brings some more soon as I want to build some more.Jack read his new book while we built. Think maybe Andrew and I were more excited about it than Jack.

The Famous Five


Jaime is Six

Well she was on November 24th. Jaime was lucky enough to take the day off school, along with Benthe her best friend and go to Atlantis water park and swim with the Dolphins. We had a great day. The Dolphin interaction was amazing. Jaime and Jack were a little scared but quickly got pushed into kissing the dolpin and throwing a ring out for the dolphin to get. The Dolphin felt amazing, it really was very special. . We learnt all about the dolpins and got to see and touch them up close. It was a quiet day at the park and the weather was gorgeous. I pushed Jack into doing the Leap of Faith which he loved so much he did it 9 times. Jaime not to be outdone and finally tall enough (just) comes to the top to check out the view. She decides its no problem and goes down the ride like a pro. Everyone in the line clapped which was great and a scared Arab man was saying "the baby did it" "Oh no now I have to do it". She did it 6 times all up. What birthday isn't complete without McDonalds. Needless to say there were 3 very tired children at school the next day.
