What a crazy weather week we had! People that have lived here in Saudi haven't seen the kind of weather that we had. I'll tell more about that later.. Our Sunday night was a neat one for the girls. Gammy Skyped and read them their bedtime story. The really enjoyed it! Thanks Gammy!
On Monday I took Caley to her first Tiny Tots Dance class. She wasn't so sure about it at first but ended up trying to follow he teacher's instructions! She was so cute bobbing up and down and blowing kisses (part of the routine)!!!
So the rain started, I think on Sunday. A very slow and very gentle rain the kind you like to have to grab a book, snuggle up under a blanket and read with no electronics on so you can hear the rain. But the problems is that the rain just kept coming down. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...Oh it was nice but it caused a lot of problems here on camp. Many streets flooded. Some people had problems inside their home, to the point that their ceilings fell in some rooms. It was crazy! Saudi wasn't made for this much rain at one time!
The yellow bucket that you see in this video was completely full by the time the rain had stopped!
They ended up bringing in the big rigs to suck up the water! They did a great job and took a good 24 hour to get this one part cleaned up enough so that we could travel on this one road.
This poor Land Rover had a tree fall on it. Apparently it was a new one, too! Ouch....
The day after all the rain stopped we ended up having no power for about 8 hours or so. Luckily the sun was shining so Macey and I made a turkey together. It was interesting, the whole power be out, because there was a good section of camp without power but the other side was find. They even canceled the middle school in the afternoon because the school didn't have power! Michael's building had power and so he had to stay at work were other got to go home and "work from home!" So here is the turkey we made! Gobble, Gobble!
Friday we had Caley's birthday party. I sent out an email canceling the party the day before(which was to be outside at a playground) because of all the rain we had...but on Thursday it turned out to be very nice and so I sent another email out say it was on! We had a great time with our friends and the weather couldn't have been any better! We spent almost 3 hours out there!
Silly face!
Daddy and Macey at the playground just chillin!
The picture below was taken after we sang happy birthday. Blogger wouldn't load the video, think it maybe too long. She did well this year and didn't cry like she has in the past!
Macey after eating her cupcake!
One of our friends Mollie had a great camera to snapped these photos of the girls! Thanks Mollie!!
Chocolate frosting mustache!
Look at the sparkle in Macey's eyes, love it!!!
Update on our stuff from the states: Michael got word that our shipment arrived in prt on Nov. 17. He ws told it could take 12-14 days for us to get it at the house. But some of our friends have got theirs in less time one was 5 days! So I'm hopeful that this could be the week but more than likely it will be next week!
Until next time,
As’salam Alikum ~ Peace be with you!
