No news really ... Just pictures ....

Okay so if blogger is kind today and our connection doesn't seriously irritate me, you should be looking at a series of photos from the past few weeks.
Its busy here, no real news, Andrè reffing at the Bahrain 10's last night and today. off school tomorrow Saudi National Day :).

At the end of the first week of school we have a watermelon seed spitting contest. Here Aimee and Brigid (NZ friend from school) thoroughly enjoy their slices of watermelon.

"My best friend Aaron and his mom (Miss Jana)" says AimeeMy Lucy child is not into fruit and veggies and so she's here with everyone having their watermelon but adamant she won't try any herself !And now the infamous Kiwi crawling out from his hidey-hole between our pillows. This is our Kiwi cat that was 'saved' last December - happy as a kitten at school but was due to be caught and ... so typical for us, he got adopted :)

Now being ALL BLACK, it seemed fitting that he be called "Kiwi" :)

So when the Springboks play the All Blacks, he either hides or runs hehehe

September 10th, the girls got to show Andrè around school. (I was obviously being teacher for the night) This is our Open House night at school where students introduce their teachers and share their school with their parents.

Here Aimee "shows off" ...Pointing out some artwork etc. outside her classroom.

Aimee and her Korean friend Sayuko.

Right by this point I have spent two and a half hours trying to get this posted. Blogger is not cooperating but even more so our ADSL guys have some serious explaining to do !!!!!

Mrs. Olga Whitaker - Aimee's teacher.Lucy and Mrs. Traci Porter - her fabulous Kindergarten teacher :)

Now its Lucy's chance to do some showing off ....Alongside some artwork outside her classroom.Aimee and Lucy with Olivia. Olivia's Mom and Dad, Jennifer and Shawn have joined our staff this year from Canada.

And finally cos I am really tense now after fighting with our connection...
Time for a funny :
A week or so ago, Andrè and I took the girls to Rumors the Sports Bar/Family Restaurant/Arcade on our compound for supper and a few games. After supper we decided to play a bit of air hockey. Lucy and Andrè on a team and Aimee and I on one. Needless to say Aimee and I were doing really well. The match turned a touch competitive as Andrè and I faced each other in the final game. He was a point or two up when out of Aimee's mouth comes "come on Luce, distract Daddy so Mommy can win" hehehehe mmmm maybe we have to discuss some issues of fair play and sportsmanship :)
