Day 8

Yesterday was a good day,alhumdullilah. I watched a lesson from the Quranic Arabic and played Ramadan Mubarak for the kids. Ameena's focus was on making iftar for her family so I did that too :) I made Lasagna. While I was making it my neighbour called and asked me to send my sons over to pick up some food, masha Allah. She sent falafal and another type of fried thing (don't know the name should have taken pictures but was busy), some yogurt which tasted like pudding,dates and those pink pickles they are so fond of eating. Ameena was also focused on contacting family members but she is muslim so its a peice of cake and not fraught with drama like when I call certain members of my family but insha Allah I will get the guts soon. After Maghrib I read Quran to the kids and they asked me what lewd meant and 'what your right hands possess'. You could just homeschool your kids straight from the Quran lol. Lots of material right there!
PS. My daughter (dd3-10 yrs old) told me she did dawah with the neighbours for hours! I said weren't they bored and she said no they kept asking questions. She talked about everything from Ramadan to halal meat to dogs and pigs, lol.
