Our Drawing Time...

Lana loves to draw. But normally she will draw alone or with me.

Usually Sophia & Erfan will just take the crayon and play with it with their own way. Sometime they bite, sometime they try to break tit and sometime they just throw away the crayon :)

However a few days ago they surprised me with their new interest and discoveries. They now can connect crayon and paper. And they can use the crayon to draw or sketch or write to express their feeling :)

It is so wonderful to see them drawing and having great time together!

Hi, presenting my first drawing...

Dressing the pillows...

So.. akhirnya bersarung jugakla bantal kesayangan my hubby and kids. These pillows have been bare for about 4 months since we bought it at IKEA. Time tuh tanak beli sarung.. kedekut punya pasal.... :) sempat berpeta jugak la bantal2 nih sebelum disarungkan.

I googled the web on simple pillow cover tutorial and finally found one that comes with simple and clear instruction. It took me quite sometime before getting the rhythm as i'm a bit 'berkarat' as my sewing machine has been hibernating in the box since i arrived here in saudi.

I am lucky to have a ver understanding hubby who decided to take out the kids to the market just to give me my own time sewing without having any disturbance :) Luckily I managed to finish sewing just before they came back home just to surprise them especially the kids. And now I can feel great sewing again ....

A Great WeeKend....

Last weekend was a bit different. Since we moved here to Saudi, every Thursday will be a day out of town.... normally we will spend our day somewhere dhahran or khobar or dammam, exploring and wander around all the big malls available there.

But we decided just to stay at home this time. During thursday, we spent our time in the house. Did some spring cleaning, cooked 'Sup ekor' for dinner. As for the breakfast we had pulut and sambal tumis and ikan masin. Yum Yum....

Friday was a great day as well. We went to the park after asar prayer. Initially we thought of something to be bbq'ed. However, didn't managed to get the tools before asar. FYI, most of the shops here in jubail are closed until 4pm on friday.... thus it is like a dead city to me. We then went to a newly opened broasted chicken restaurant and bought a family meal there to be brought over to the park.

The park is only less than 5 minutes away from our house - i mean driving :). We even can walk there. The time we arrived, there were a lot of groups or families spreading their mat and having good time. People here really like to spend their time at park doing some cooking on the park. Some even bring together their cooking stove and cook at the park with big pots :)
