My better half had to tak the mother-in-law to hospital today, so all three of the kids were stuck inside all day. After work, I asked them to help me tidy up and we had a short Quran lesson after which I thought I would treat them to a garden party.
After the last post about healthy eating, this feels a bit hypocritical, but I went for the short cuts this afternoon, i.e. open the packet and pour out.
(Little Lady giving the neighbours girl a mean look after they have just had a fight, of coure the cake made it all better)
The boys were celebrating new hairstyles after the baby managed to get his hands on some scissors and cut a chunk out of the front of Little Man's hair. I suppose it's a good style for summer.
Please make dua for my mother-in-law who is having trouble controlling her blood presure but is back home now and resting.
A'salaamu alaikum sister. I found your blog recently and I want to say it is so refreshing masha'Allah! So many Islamic-themed blogs seem to encourage fitnah; I don't need that in my life. Reading your blog is a joy and I pray that Allah swt blesses you and your family. Amin.

ReplyDeletejazakh'Allah-khairun for your kind comment.
Before I started blogging, I used to visit lots of other Muslim blogs and I agree, I found so much arguing and misery that it was just depressing. I got the impression that all Muslim's are miserable and that state of Islam is miserable.
I could not accept that. So my rule is the same as I keep telling my children, if you have nothing good to say about someone, keep your mouth shut!! (Also I am wary of the anti-Islam trolls who seem to use such blogs to provoke people and I don't want them to have a reason to come here, maybe a bit cowardly).
Jazakh'Allah-khairun for your kind dua's and ameen and same for you insh'Allah.
Salam
ReplyDeleteCool picnic , Mashallah your kids are cute.
2 out of 3 of my kids love eating outside. I like the hair cut of your boys :) My boys had this hairstyle(can we call it that :)) for a long time till they said that they are big enough to decide that they dont want to be bald for the rest of their lives :)
I agree with Anonymous that your blog so refreshing to read Mashallah. May Allah keep you and your family smiling all the time, Ameen.
Wasalam

ReplyDeleteI couldnt help notice the party rings on the table please check the ingredients as I am sure they contain gelatine. If they arent pary rings and are a halal substitute let me know! I used to love them and havent had the chance to have one for YEARS.
your such a fun mama mashaAllah!:-)
ReplyDeleteMashaallah your children are beautiful. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteKids just love being outside. What a good idea!

Anonymous,
When I read you comment, I went straight to the kitchen and checked (I still had part of the packet) and you are right, the ingredients included gelatin, so jazakh'Allah-khairun so much for letting me know. I had to throw them in the bin. I usually check for the "suitable for vegetarians", but didn't this time.
Sis ep,
I had ulterior motives, whilst the kids were busy, I got to read the papers ;)
Sis iMuslimah,
jazakh'Allah-khairun for your dua, she is much better and in good spirits. Mash'Allah, she seems to have spent the whole day laughing.
