hi

I do not believe I have not blogged for this long...I have had so many bloggable thing to talk about..

The baby is growing like a weed and is becoming mobile *insert screaming face*

Bilal had his tonsils out last week...what a champ...he was up and about within few hours, I know if it was me I would have been a big baby...

The kids are almost done with the school year *insert a screaming face*...I am already planning things for them..they will both go to Arabic school in July...Bilal will stay in preschool 2 afternoons a week for July...what am I going to do in August!!!

We will have to get all our summer fun before Ramadan starts...

Is anyone dreading Ramadan this year?? The day is so long!!!! It is still day time at 9:30pm...

The one good thing is that I will lose weight for sure this year...probably lots of it..yay?

I have also been a bad blog checker...I wonder how everyone is doing?? How is 7aki and the girls, how are Qwaiders doing with the pregnancy..how is Maioush's dad doing? Is Asoom engaged yet? How are Kinzi and mamabeans...miss u guys!

But there is no time to blog..and when I do have time I feel guilty that I am not taking the kids out to play, or have to clean the house..does it ever get messy!! Well we just spent an hour in the backyard playing in the water, I helped Bilal with his Lego's and we had a play date with friends today...Tamer is taking a nap, so I can blog with no guilt...

:o)

Bye bye summer..

As the temperature starts to dip into the early early twenties and teens we have to face it, summer is almost gone! It is going to be sad farewell...but it is a cycle and we have to accept it....Fall is not a bad season...so we are not shedding any tears yet...autumn does have it own fun and spirit...

We did have a great summer with great memories...we did a lot with the kids...from trips to amusement parks in the area....walks to a local park with friends, bbquing at the park with friends and family, going to the many beaches in the area...

Summer in Ontario sure beats summer anywhere else(saskatoon uggh)....there are so many things we did not scratch off our list, we didn't even have time to get away...this is the first summer we do not go on a vacation out of the country or at least out of the province...but we manage to have a fun filled summer full of action...

My sister is on maternity leave so we got to take the kids places sans husbands....which was fun...

I took the kids to Toronto to see the CN tower...ziad is now obsessed with Toronto and the CN tower...we parked our car at the GO station and took to the bus to Toronto...we had walked around, had lunch and finally went to the tower...we had to wait for 1.5hr to get up! It was Monday for god's sake! I can not even imagine how it would have been if we went on the weekend...but we could not turn back, Ziad would not hear of it....thankfully in the line just in front of there were three Egyptian guys and they kept the kids entertained and chased after bilal when he decided it will be funny to run off...

The kids favourite place to go to was Niagara Falls and Marine Land...we got a seasons pass and we went few times with friend and other times just the four of us...I could not go on any of the rides...I did not want to risk harming the little guy inside of me....but the kids loved it there...they enjoyed the whales and dolphins shows...petting and feeding the deer ....it was great fun!

There are few things we wanted to do still before the weather gets colder...but with Ramadan hubby is useless....I feel bad about next summer, the kids will miss out on a lot of fun things to do! I wish Ramadan had a set month and that month was a winter month...but o well...we will manage to make it a fun summer inshallah....

So goodbye summer...you were a good summer this year..we will miss you...! Lets hope this winter will be not be a snow and storms filled winter....especially around the mid January...

bye bye winter!

It is official, winter is over!

Not even one bit of snow is left.

I just cleared out our closet of winter clothes and hung up our summer clothes. So if the cold decides to come it is too bad for it, because we only have summer clothes out:)

I have 4 garbage bags full of clothes to give away, I hope the diabetes association come pick them up soon, I am running out of room.

yippy, I love spring/summer. I do not mine fall, but it the season that leads to winter so I do not love it.

I guess I would not mind winter if it was not the longest season in Canada. It is especially long and hard in Saskatoon.

I have been house bound for so long, it is taking me a while to get used to going out again. :o(

Ok no real reason for this post, excpet to tell the world that I am soooooooooo glad winter is over!
