It's Advent Calendar Time!

The excitement this afternoon when the trio were given their Advent Calendars to open. They were very lucky to be given 'Lego' calendars by their Uncle Rock. Each window has a miniature Lego figurine to assemble (Or attempt to...) The pieces are too small for Maple so luckily she got to open daddy's one... then let daddy play with the pieces. They were so interested and excited.

It is UAE National Day tomorrow. The school celebrated today so all the children dressed up especially. Bailee wore a tutu in the colours of the UAE flag. Oscar wore his favourite 'Dusty' from Planes shirt and a UAE hat.... They had fun with henna tattoos, eating dates and Arabian rice, making hats and flags and singing Arabian songs... they came home very happy. Bailee made a gorgeous UAE handprint flag and wrote 'Happy National Day' all by herself on it :) (Pictures to come).

They are now on holiday for three days and we are hoping to do a few nice activities so watch this space...
