Halloween Party

Halloween again. This year Johnathan dressed up as an arab prince and Susannah was a giraffe! Together with various ghosts, witches, and monsters the kids had a great party and went trick or treating. Now they can enjoy the spoils of the night for the next few weeks at least.

Susannah's Birthday Party

Today, Susannah had her birthday party with 12 of her closest friends (and their mums and dads). We celebrated in the back garden where the kids had fun on the trampoline, throwing water balloons, and competing in egg and spoon races. It was then time for a traditional aussie sausage sizzle on the bbq followed by the main event, the birthday cake. She had a great time and is now having an aftenoon nap to recover...

Susannah turns two!

Today, Susannah turned two. A few pictures from the family celebration we had this evening, the big party is on Friday so more pictures then...

Blowing out the candles, she knows the drill.



Happy with the results!



Sizing up the cake



The new playhouse, complete with doorbell, telephone, bbq, stove, mirror, flower pot, sky light, and pink door and window shutters, everything a noughties girl needs...

Another great trip to the Inland Sea

We did another drive through the desert to the Inland Sea today - always a fun day out and good to get away from the city.


Fun in the water with mum (that's Saudi Arabia across the water!)




Our desert kids!

The locals out to play in the afternoon...
