Our second year in Dubai has begun...





And where did my motivation to study go?...Did I suddenly realise it was nicer to relax by the pool? No, or maybe... I just feel so overwhelmed by this next module I have to do, 20th century history, 2 exams on THE WHOLE 20th century, sounds completely irrational and impossible at this moment. 1st WW, 2nd WW, Cold war, Russian Revolution, China´s political dvelopment, democracy in Scandinavia, etc...oh my God, where to start...?! I´d rather focus on my blog at the moment. I´m trying to make a book out of the first year in Dubai, to give the girls as a present for easter. We´ll see if I finish it.


Last week the girls were off school for the whole week and Jon was in England on holiday, sorry... on a course. For work. So I had planned the whole week down to the smallest detail. Keep the girls from eachother as much as possible to avoid arguments and meltdowns. Emma was at an art camp every day for 4 hours and she loved it. I had some time with Isabelle on my own which was nice. Most of the week I spent driving the girls to different friends and then picking them up. Up and down the highway and up and down again, and again and again. But it was ok, I know they had a good week and James was excited to see so much of his sisters. Two nights Emma slept at friends' houses, which was good. She is very brave, my little girl. I really want her to get to know her classmates better, so I tried to encourage every opportunity to play and party.


Here are some pictures of last week; Isabelle at the Lakes club with school friend Feli, Elsa´s Birthday Beach party and Liam's 6th birthday party. It´s a hard life....!
James and his best friend Noah from Lidingö, Liam´s little brother. Same age and just as sweet. They sure enjoyed the cakes...



Elsa turns 3 and we all enjoyed a messy wet party on the beach!






Isabelle and Feli in the Lakes club pool. What a great time they had. We all danced to Backstreet boys in the pool (yes I made a complete fool of myself, but we were almost alone, so it was ok)and drank milkshake.
