Sheesha Time:)

Go Dave, go Dave, go Dave... its so hot, Nessi has to wipe down with some wet wipes.













I love the sheesha... thanks to JP and Karin I can finally smoke with my husband (even if it is only air) and have a blast. I love the cherry and Apple flavour the most.











Go Will, go Will, go Will....














Go Nessi, go Nessi, go Nessi....














Wow even dad Willie gave it a try... more than once I might add.

Arabic Day at School

Poppet and Ducky in their Albayas ready for their Arabic Day at school.

Don't they look so cute!

The three girls. Mom also wore an Albaya on the day.

Our City in the Desert of Zikreet

This was so awesome to see... As you drive down into this cove, you are suddenly surrounded by these shelters built into the sand walls...

We are told that there was a famous Arabic movie made here, but we think it was used back in the day during the war.

How awesome would that history lesson be!

Our First Camping Trip in the Desert

Upon our arrival we head for the water... we are all far too hot to put up any tents and supplies for the night.

We found a great location!

The car was packed to the max... everything you could think of was in there.














Our poppet... hungry as always.

















Swimming with the setting sun. Its stunning.

Finaly we decide to get ready for the night...

Dad made a mean fire...

We spent the actual day of Mikaela's birthday at Cafe Ceramique, painting our very own ceramique's.

This is hard work...

Cloe paints away at her new fairy for her bedroom... it will be stunning when its done.

A Night & Day with the girls!

Sons posing like a real lady!

Poppet had a feast wit all the food... she loves her food....

Mikaela enjoyed the thai noodles at the bottom of the platter... very plain and ordinary.

Cloe and Mikaela spend their first night in Nanna's flat on the floors make shift bed! Both very tired babes at this stage...

Poppet shows me just how grown up she is becoming, while she wears my sunglasses and lipstick! STUNNING!!!
