Easter Holidays

Although I'm not working, I mean not working in the going to the office sense, I feel like it's been forever since I've had a decent break, be it a Bank Holiday (as official non-religious public holidays are called in Ireland), school holiday or any other type of holiday. My definition of a proper holiday means I can wake up after seven in the morning, don't have to take a shower as soon as I wake up and doing anything remotely involving getting the kids ready for school, including dropping them off wherever they need to be. I'm sure lot of people out there understand, right?

Fortunately, this week would be the longest Bank Holiday weekend we would get until summer comes along. Yayy for me! It's the Easter Holidays and most of people will have Friday off work (for Good Friday) until Easter Monday. As with most of these things, we don't actually celebrate Easter as a religious holiday but still, the thought of having the short break makes me ever so happy as I'll be able to be with my complete little family.

What Husayn got at school plus some other things that he made.

At the moment, the weather forecast looks great and InsyaAllah, it'll be the same over the weekend. A BBQ would be nice as well as a visit to the park. I don't know. We don't have any concrete plans yet but what we'll definitely be doing on Saturday, is pop over to a Star Wars exhibition in town. Pretty cool, eh?

Till then, to everyone in Ireland, do enjoy your break with lots of dinosaur-size Easter Eggs like the one I got from my hubby which he got from his office earlier today.

PS: I had to fight with the kids to get to eat this giant chocolate egg. Hisham just refused to let go of it and wanted it all for himself. Just like Mummy...ahaks!
