New York New York

This is the view from my sister's apartment and sunset is my favourite time. It is the time of day when the kids are over tired, over stimulated and things goes pear shaped very quickly but just glance up and sigh ...

Earlier we went out for a walk to Central Park with Sami and Eyad and then we met up with Sharon, Laith and Lulu who had been to the movies. 

Earlier in the afternoon Sharon had taken Laith and Lulu to an art class on Sketch at MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) and they loved it. I will have to get photos from Sharon later for that.  Sharon treated us to some lovely italian icecream from GROM. 

This morning I met up with Lulu and Sharon as Lulu had a sleepover with her at her hotel so we thought we would meet for a coffee before doing some domestic retail at Bath, Body and Beyond. It is such a great experience to be in a shop with so much choice. Before they came along I stood at Columbus Circle and watched the world go by ...

On Tuesday morning Sharon took me to MAC to get a makeup consultation and then she spoiled me with some great makeup, it was so mice to have some child free time and just focus on something for me. I am so grateful to her for taking me and spoiling me. My challenge is find an elusive lipstick that all MAC stores seem to be out of but we we keep trying !

Tomorrow is Sami's 6th birthday but it looks like he might have a cold developing poor little guy. He has been really off the charts for a while and my patience can run thin but lets hope for a great day tomorrow. 

Thanks for stopping by ...
