Today is the 2nd anniversary of the (failed) Bahraini revolution and in anticipation of tire fires, protests, tear gas, and road closures, they cancelled school. Valentine’s Day parties will have to be held next week, but that doesn’t phase the boys any. They’re thrilled to have an extra day to sleep in.
Aside from the extra frequent text messages that I’ve been getting (Alert: Tire Fire on Sheik Salman Avenue — avoid this area), it’s going to be a pretty normal day for us. Josh is at work, we’re lazing around in our pjs and then going to pick up a few groceries, coffee, and let the kids play at an indoor play place that just opened near our house. What makes it extra special is that my dad is here visiting so the extra day off school is even more appreciated. Even if there is tear gas involved.
Just kidding.
Waiting to pick up dad at the airport
Poor nanny. The kid knew she was not his boss. He was running in the off limits area where passengers exit the terminal and she had no luck convincing him to move. (Of course his mom was standing right behind me doing nothing . . .)
The dog whisperer. Micah was less scared of dad than any new person we’ve ever had in the house.
Happy VD!
