Today was a very busy day!
First off as you know from Ashi's posts he is away at a conference. This morning Amani had an art workshop at school that began at 8 am while on the other side of town Sabeena had her ballet lesson starting at guess what time??? You got it, 8 am.
Luckily, Amani's friend Caitlyn was going to drive to school with us for the workshop day, which made me a bit more comfortable with dropping Amani off at the school at 7:30. However, the best part was when we pulled into the school parking lot, first the gate was open which meant the girls would be able to wait inside, but even better than that was when the teachers pulled in right behind me at 7:31. With a sigh of relieve and Amani and Caitlyn getting a little extra time to work on their projects Sabeena and I were off to ballet. While Sabeena was dancing I did my walking circuit and then called Katya to make sure she was awake and getting ready for the birthday party she was attending about an hour after I would get home, YAY she was.
Once home, I helped Katya to finish getting ready (finding a gift bag for the present, Sponge Bob it would be, Sorry Alana ;) then we relaxed a little bit. At 9:58 we took the LONG JOURNEY, through horrendous traffic to drop Katya off next door at 10:00. Needless to say we arrived 2 minutes early. ;) Katya was ready for an exciting day at Atlantis to celebrate. Sabeena and I decided to watch a movie (her choice), Lizzie Maguire. It was nice for her to choose one that she hasn't seen 3 times in the last month or 2.
At 12:00 we went to school to collect the girls and our neighbor Josh. Was able to see a few of Amani's pieces (cool skull, some wire creation, and a skeleton sketch). Dropped off the friends then we went to pick up Jack and Deborah to meet up with Mark and Samia at Art Dubai.
We had lunch at Noodle House and then went to the exhibit. Amani found a few artists she really liked; Diana Al Hadid, Jakob Gasteiger, Antonis Denof, and Parashtoo Ahovan. The exhibit was nice with quite a few good pieces as well as a few to make you scratch your head and go hmmmm.
After the exhibit it was back to campus for the fun run. This month we were raising awareness for Traffic Safety. Sabeena rode her scooter while I ran 1/2 and walked 1/2. I am still getting tired really easy but I am feeling a lot better. After that it was dinner, shopping, ironing and then off to bed!!!
Once Ashi is back home I will figure out how to get the photos from my phone to the computer. :D
