below entries

For some odd reason, none of the entries I posted today is going up. Unless it'll come up later and you'll get tons of it.

A few of my entries below talks about some so called "monopoly" money. That's all it is. Fake, scam, balogney.

So, if you see that, don't fall for it as I have. Talk about waste of time.

Children's Update 2

The first picture is of Ibrahim when he was a year and a half years old. The 2nd picture is of Isa when he was about 6 months old. The 3rd is a picture of Daliyah when she's a year old.

Comparing the photos I can see the strong resemblances.

In a short bit, I'll be posting up newer pictures just from this past month of the children.

I'll also post up some really nice videos of their adventures.

Their latest activities to do is getting all the furashes (floor sofas) and the cushions that goes with it and building a fort or fortress out of it. They'll pile them on top of each other or in a row like a bridge and crawl underneath it. Usually I'll let them leave it like that for a few days and if friends are dropping by, bye bye goes those and up for a new one.

Kids keep themselves busy with things rather than being bored so easily. Kids these days, most of them get bored so easily even the ones that are online. I tell these people, you're on the internet and how can you possibly be bored when you have the search engine at your fingertips. You have a million things to do, read about, search about and learn so much more. Why complain that you're bored? Do you seriously need a guide, a step by step instructions on how to keep yourself busy and amuse your time?

If the internet tool is not helping you at all from getting unbored, perhaps you should get off the internet and take a walk, or visit some friends offline. If that doesn't boost you, you need to prioritize your time, or just re-think of changing your life style. It's impossible to get bored if you have internet access and it's all within your reach. I can understand if your internet is down or not working then ok, fine, be bored but, even then there are still a million things you can do offline such as play a board game, fly a kite, ride a bike, rollerblade, take a jog, get a job, take care of loved ones, learn to bake and cook, try something new and adventureous.

Live, learn, laugh, cry, these are the things that are told to us and these are the things we tell our children to do. Experience, experiment. Kids love that. So go out and blow bubbles, jump in the rain, jump in the puddles.

The other day as we were at the children's museum, my husband and my children got to one of the displays that shows an "On Air" as you would present the news. They got on and did the "meditation yoga" for some spiritual upliftment while doing the weather report. I'm sure people will get a kick out of that one, if not, then Iby and Isa's silly faces on the screen.

Ok that's it for now.

Children's Update

These pictures above were taken in 2006.

The first picture was taken in Dec 2006, almost a year ago. Isa had just turned 5 and Ibrahim was 8 going on 9. It was taken in Amman, Jordan and we were showing off our older son's school uniform.

The 2nd picture was taken in early Spring 2006, right before our move to Amman, Jordan. Even the 3rd picture was taken around then. That's them when they're getting along with each other and showing how loving they can be towards each other.

But, then there are other times when they're not so civil to each other. Those pictures though have to wait. Whenever we try to get the pictures, they pretend they're getting along for sake of saving themselves from "internet" embarassment.

New Pictures Equal New Adventures

Have you ever heard of the saying, "New Pictures Equal New Adventures?" Well, especially living here in Amman, Jordan the kids will have and has had a whole new set of adventures one after another that I'll try to remember and jot them all down.

Right now though, Ibrahim my oldest is now 9 1/2 years old. My 2nd son Isa is almost 6. He'll be 6 in a month insha'Allah. My daughter Daliyah is almost 2 years old.

The pictures above are of Daliyah the new addition. Those were taken shortly a month to a few months after she was born in Jan 2006.

I'll post more pictures in the next post and so forth so this doesn't get too crowded.
