Sorry for the big gaps in posting. The kids, Dave, and I made it safely to Bahrain and are settled into a hotel while we house hunt. Our first day of house hunting consisted of a whirlwind of 10 villas in 3 1/2 hours. It was painful dragging the kids to so many places, and the houses all started blending after about the first hour. We're going out hunting again this week and I hope we find something soon because living in a hotel with 2 kids and dog and Dave is not the most fun I've ever had. Okay, I'm done whining... for now.
Now on to the real post. Sophie celebrated her fifth birthday this week. I can't believe I have a five year old now. Sophie has been talking about how she's going to be five and she'll be really big (tall). I think she was a little disappointed when she woke up and wasn't noticeably taller. She should wait until she wakes up on her birthday and notices gray hair and wrinkles. Then she'll know disappointment.
Anyways, she was very excited to celebrate her fifth birthday.
Dave and I chose a doctor outfit and kit for her birthday. Sophie told me she plans to be a princess vet when she grows up. I think all vets should wear tiaras, it would probably improve their day.
I kind of mommy failed and was unable to find (or bake) a real cake. I did drive for the first time in Bahrain in my attempt to find a real birthday cake. However it's the middle of a religious festival and apparently the bakery was closed. Driving here will warrant its own post, I'm sure. However I keep reminding myself I drove in LA and lived to tell the tale...
So she had a doughnut cake (they have Krispy Kreme in Bahrain, who knew?) although honestly she was really excited to have pizza and doughnuts for her birthday.
Happy Birthday Sophie!
