Week 24

This week marked the end of Zain's playgroup for this session. We love this playgroup which is run by our town's school. He loves going to the school and associates a bunch of activities with his classroom.  I'm so glad we came across this program. The program also conducts a bunch of other events around our neighboring towns. We always try to attend them since they are a lot of fun.

Our week was full of outdoor activity unlike last week when it rained for a few days. This week we went to the park and the lake. We made some crafty things for Father's Day(hush hush). We went to Micheal's to get our supplies and Zain was very fascinated with all the crafts and supplies in the store. I have to admit every time I go there, I feel like I want to take up 10 new hobbies but alas! I don't have that much leisure time and neither am I that organized to keep them all going at the same time. If I can keep this blog going and a couple of other things that I have on my plate then I am very happy.  

While I was at the store I finally found a few things to do my long awaited DIY project. I have included the final product photo in this post but I will do a separate post for how I did it. It was really simple and I think everyone can benefit from it, especially in their kitchen. Keep an eye out for that post. I will post it in the near future.

Next week also marks the start of Ramadan and I am really looking forward to it. The Roza will be insanely long, with Sehri at 3:22am and Aftari at 8:25pm. These will be the longest fasts in my life so far. Hoping they go well, InshAllah!

On a side note, Summer is in full swing and even though we do some activity over the weekend, it is always great to go for a vacation. We are really looking forward to ours in a week's time. So the next week will be spent in planning and packing and getting our stuff ready to go. Before we had Zain, it was so easy to pack and just go, now we have to think of all contingencies and therefore it requires more careful planning. Nonetheless, we are hoping for a fun vacation and expecting the unexpected☺︎

Hope you enjoyed the post this week. I finally took some time to actually write and not just post photos. I have a feeling that next week I will be so occupied with our trip planning, it would definitely affect my blogging. So either the post will come out very very late or it might just have a the photos from the week which I put together while sitting on the plane. Have a good rest of the week. Until next time take care and be good!
