The beginning of the Pool season. Already?

All week the girls have been asking if they can go in the pool.  For Lily it has been the past three months of asking most days, but I kept promising that 'this Saturday you can'.  So they did.  

The water was rather cool and they'd be no way I'd be getting in (it has to be hot and humid for me) but with eagerness in their strides, I took them down.  The water was rather coolish and they were both a little hesitant to get in....until Lily decided to push Monet in...


Of course I was sitting up the other end and I actually captured the moment.  Giggling to myself, Monet came out the pool crying and saying she hurt herself and getting cranky at her little sister.  But in the end Monet was thanking Lily as they both had a great time...




When the girls got out a good hour later, Miss Lily caught herself a head cold (seems to have mainly cleared up now) but at least I won't be hassled for a while yet to 'go to the pool'.

It won't be long until these girls gain their own private pool once again and I will probably get in more often than I do in the apartment's complex one.

Mild Winter Days

Lucky for me, it seems MissL is a 'sun-smart' kid, more so than her big sister was (& is!) She's forever putting stuff on her head so getting her to cover up with a hat is usually no problem.

The compound we live in has a big play ground for the kids. If it isn't too warm, I tend to get the girls to have a play before like 4pm, when it then becomes a haven to a million nannies/maids and a zillion children. I escape when I can.



When we visited the other day, MissL noticed a friendly (pet) cat. It isn't unusual for feral cats to be around, but this young one sported a dashing pink collar. Both girls were amused, especially the youngest. Should have heard to squeals of delight!


There was also time to have a little run around....


and for MissM to have a swing....


Even though we are in the midst of winter here in the UAE, we try and make the most of days like these, enjoying the great outdoors. However, I am pretty sure this coming summer will be different for us as we are soon moving into a new villa with our own private pool. =)
