Last night we took the big girls to see 30 Secs to Mars. The band was great, but the venue was horrible. Anybody under 5'5" (me, Katya and our 2 friends) couldn't see hardly anything. All flat, all standing room only. YUCK!!!!! Well anyways we all still had a good in the end. About 1/2 way through the concert Amani and her friend received an upgrade and were sent to the Fan Pit. About 15 minutes later Katya and our other friend received an upgrade too and joined them.
At the end of the concert Jared Leto invited fans up onto the stage and Amani's friend Anna made it up!!
On the way home we stopped and got some McD's and Katya decides to announce that Justin Bieber movie starts at 945 and can we please go since we didn't get the chance after last weeks fiasco. (FYI-we went to another theater and found out that the movie had opened everywhere the following day, except the one that we went to and were given the wrong info). I must have been extra sleepy and delirious, because I agreed. Can't remember what time we got home, but it was late. Woke the girls up at 8:00 and we were outta the house by 8:55. Dropped Anna off at school for Saturday DT session. (Tried to ditch Amani there too, but she insisted that since she didn't sign the register on Thurs she couldn't stay, even thought both teachers said she could) ***note-she was not going to the movie with us, just decided to go window shopping (and talked our friend Nausheen into meeting her there and joining her).
We got to the movie and in order to not sit in the first 5 rows had to purchase VIP seats (crazy, right??) who wants to sit in the first 5 rows???? The movie was 3D and was actually very well done.
After the movie we met up with Amani, Nausheen and Ashi for lunch at Uno's. After that we walked a bit then headed home.
I whipped up a batch of my Artichoke Dip (with added spinach at Katya's request) and made a blueberry cobbler to take to Mark & Samia's for dinner. Our friends the Mundy's were visiting from Doha for the weekend so it was a nice get together.
After dinner we headed to Sharjah English School to collect Sabeena! The 2 younger Mundy children came with us to see Sabeena and their friends that they hadn't seen in a while. Sabeena's bus arrived about 10:20, 35 minutes after the proposed time given to the phone tree. There were many happy parents and tired kids.
We drove home and Sabeena was bubbling with news and excitement. She was very excited that she had managed to purchase a small gift for each of the people she had promised. Once home bedtime preparations were made and Ashi prepared to fly out for the states. Sabeena was a bit upset that she only got 30 minutes with daddy before he was taking off. About 10 minutes before Ashi's driver arrived I was hit with a migraine, so once goodbyes were said and meds taking it was definitely bedtime!!!!
