Party!

What a crazy busy fun super day. On Friday, I decided to have lunch at my place on Sunday – a group that turned out to be eight adults, three toddler/preschoolers and three babies. That's a lot of ppl in my apartment. B. showed up with her usual charm and cookies and her two boys along with my other non-bloggy friends. I cooked up a storm and have a few leftovers. It was such a good time to see people, chat and feel the community that we lose when its not Ramadan any longer. Somewhere along the way we sort of all became parents. *shudder* Strange.

We got to see photos of Hajj, alhamdulillah, from a 2 time hajja. We saw how much all of our kids have grown.

Right before they were leaving, B's son A1 reminded me I had promised to take them to feed ducks. So… we suited up Hamza and A1 and went out in search of ducks. Two ponds later, we found them and fed them. Then Hamza fell down the bank and rolled into the pond. Thank God its was my kid that fell instead of B.'s! I ran down the bank and almost fell in myself… My own fault for sliding on mud.

B., we need to do this again. Thanks for coming! I am so sorry that I got so busy with the dumb kitchen… I tried to get it all done before but it never works out that way.
