Snovember- How to make a snowman

It's still November and the snow doesn't seem to stop any TIME soon. It's getting heavier and heavier. Due to the bad weather, there was no school bus service this morning so instead of sending Ameera to school by myself I decided to just stay at home. Errrgghhh... feel like I'm living in an icebox, even in the house.

While I was preparing lunch for the kids the snow fell heavily out and my kids were enjoying themselves and Ameera asked me

Mummy can I make a snowman?

As I was too busy I just said yes and few minutes later I looked outside

I remember that I taught them once last time. I guess kids now are a very fast learners and they will remember everything you teach them as long as it's something interested that they like.

Off to bed now looking outside hoping for a warmer day...

Aren't they just Adorable?

OMG... it's not even December yet and it's snowing here??? Since yesterday....  It's not Dublin at all. Ireland hardly gets any snow but I guess the weather is changing and it's weird.  Oh no, it's Monday tomorrow and it's gonna be a hard one for me and the kids but I  hope everything is going to be ok for us and everyone. Insyaallah.

Haha.. if my husband reads this title he might give me the laser eyes look. OK, let me tell you if you've never heard of the X Factor. It's basically a singing competition that is very famous in the UK and Ireland. Leona Lewis was one of the winners, if you're wondering. I'm one of  the X Factor's fans and to be honest, I will be hooked in front of my TV during the weekend  nights and nobody can disturb me during that time.

Anyway, back to the title. This year there is a band category mentored by Simon Cowell  called One Direction. The band members are between 16 and 17 years old. Teenage cute boys who I think they can be  the next favorite boy band to the young kids. Oh man, I am so crap at giving reviews. Anyway, my son Hisham was so teruja with this group and this is the next best thing to make him quiet.

If you turn on the One Direction video on YouTube he will automatically stop crying or stop doing anything and concentrate to the clips. He can be such a good boy.

Aren't they just adorable? Blame his Acu Nanie for this because she's the one who introduced this to Hisham.


Better get ready now, another 20 minutes for the show tonite!!!

A year and a half already?

Time flies so fast. Yesterday, Hisham was exactly 18 months. Another half of a year and he will be TWO! Wow. To me, it seemed like just yesterday that I went home to Malaysia, straight after my confinement period. And then, within what felt like a very short time, Hisham started to walk and was beginning to respond to me. But, the truth is he still looks like a little baby. He's still small and petite but acts like a big boy. He's fond of making cheeky-looking faces when he's done something wrong.

Despite being a year and a half, he still only has 4 teeth and that's it, for the moment. His appetite is the same as his big brother who is two and half years older than him. Although he loves pasta and chocolate so much, he still refuses to drink from a bottle. To be honest, I don't really mind breastfeeding him all the time but I just feel that he doesn't get enough fluids into his body.

Apart from talking a lot (he gets this from his 2 other siblings, of course), he's also fond of copying what other people say. This Daddy's Little Boy is such a sweetheart and being such a friendly little boy, he is always eager to attract other people's attention to him.

My sincerest apologies but I just can't stop writing about him even if I wanted to. Yes, I do realise that I might come across like I'm constantly bragging about him but, I guess which mother could stop talking about their own kids??? You should see him yourself and you will know his true colours. Hehehe.

Happy 18 Months Baby.....Muuaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Shopping and Lunch Spree: All for Free!

Sorry, I've been very busy lately with...I don't know what but all I know is that I just couldn't find the time to blog. Last week was my daughter's mid-term break from school which lasted for a week and after being back at school this week, they had a party to celebrate Eid (Hari Raya Haji) in the school yesterday (will blog about this soon). Today, thinking that all would be back to normal, everything changed when my other half announced that he was taking the day off work. I was so delighted and asked him to go out with me around the area.

We were out for most of the day up until my daughter came back from school. It was tiring but I was so happy because I got to buy some stuff and had lunch together. But (other than having my husband around, of course) the happiest thing about today was that all the shopping and lunch didn't cost me a thing. OK, it's not like I spent thousands on a few luxury goods, I merely bought some stuff that I've wanted to get for a while but still, it feels good. Nothing beats a bit of retail therapy, eh?

Remember the €25 voucher I received for my participation in a survey? Well, I popped into Marks & Spencer and bought all this stuff with that. If you guys were wondering why I bought a huge toilet roll pack, let me explain: It normally costs €4.99 per pack but it was on sale,  €6 for all of them so, I just couldn't resist especially since it looks so cute (well, to me at least) and smells sooo nice...I memang suka  part beli benda2 kecik and mengarut ngarut nie....Hehehe.

Also, while we were out and about, I remembered that it was probably a year ago when I got a few vouchers from Pigsback (for all my clicking work) but never had a chance to use it, until now that is. And, as it had been a long, long time since we last had a proper treat, my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a good lunch at a nice place. Err...it's not that nice but I suppose, why not considering it was FREE!

Oh, silly me...I forgot take pictures of our yummy meals (I was that hungry). Maybe next time, OK?
