the Month of Ramadhan

Umaira has been to the day care (full day) since 1st September as Maktuk won’t be around during Ramadan - she’s busy with her tadarus, khatam and etc. Yuppp… it’s quite exhausted for me to manage my three kids ALONE during the weekdays (the capitol letter is for my hubby’s eyes) but I'm OK. Basically, my life starts at about 4.45am when I wake up for Sahur; I watch tv while doing the house chores, prepare the kids stuffs and sometimes I’m on the internet; reading news and blogging.
Btw, Ammar goes to the full day kindergarten as well. He’s having his afternoon nap, learns iqra’ and learns how to pray (fardhu ain) in the kindergarten. Umaira on the other hand, would be playing, singing and eating only -she’s still young though. However, she learns a few doa as well and manage to recite doa makan, doa bangun tidur and doa selepas mkn fluently. Umaira seems happy to go to the day care. May bethe caregiver has the genuine love and likes to entertain her.

The labelling done by the day care

My routine - I will send Ammar first, followed by Umaira; and then Ashraff to my sister’s place and head to the office. After office hours (my office hours varies from 5.00pm to 6.00pm. If I didn’t finish my projects by 6, I would still go home and continue them later) I will pick Ammar, Umaira and move to my sister’s place to pick Ashraff and break- fast (iftar) there. At 8.30pm, we’ll be at home - upstairs; messing all the toys and books. At about 10pm, everyone has been sleeping. I will wake up later, at about 10.30pm or 11pm to wipe the floor and tidy the house.

Mama being creative - uses the glass paint to label the bottle. Next step,
embroider the towel. My husband will grin and say -"in your dream".

Ammar and Umaira’s task - They have to locate all the dirty clothes from the day care into the laundry basket and put their bags in the store. Ammar needs to finish his homework before goes to bed. Umaira never fail to perform her task. She will right away bring her bag upstairs and empty it. Ammar on the contrary, need to be reminded a few times. Sometimes, I need to raise my voice in order to see the progress. Still, most of the times, he will only completes his homework in the morning.

I even washed the bottle to make sure the paint is still there.
