Homework!

As usual, getting the boys to do their homework every night was a big exercise for my lungs. I had to get then to concentrate and they were easily distracted. Idlan actually finished his homework before dinner and Irfan decided to do his after watching TV.

As soon as they finished their dinner, they were running around with their guns again. Another shouting natch before they started to behave. Ten minutes later, then the homework was done. He could've easily finished it he had his meal .....

New Pair of Nerf

I got the boys a pair of new Nerf gun and all day yesterday, they were a mess out of the room. I couldn't even get any reading done, and gave up halfway through a tennis match on TV. When they finally slept, I could observe the damage done in the room ....

So, the maid had to get all the bullets back from underneath the cupboards and tables. And the process started again as soon as they got back from school.

Anita's Night Out

Anita had been fasting for the past three days and tonight, her friends asked her to join them to break fast together at one if the restaurant in town. Luckily, I was able get home early. So, off she went.

And the boys had been in top form tonight. After finishing their homeworks, they just jumped and jumped. Driving me nuts. In the end, I had to let them have their iPads. They seemed happy afterwards, and I was able to finish some reports for work. It worked out fine!

Concert Started 

I managed to reach the concert hall just in time for Irfan's performance and managed finger them on camera. It was in a big group but Irfan started right at the front. Getting the spot at the front of the stage was also a challenge with all the competitive parents around.

Am now waiting for Idlan's turn and his would be towards the end of the show. In between, we managed ribcage something to eat. I visited the boys at the ready room but they were bit allowed to leave. Poor Irfan had to wait for his brother to finish.

Funky lightingGoing upstairs to fetch the boysIt was less havoc outsideThe main hall was getting emptied as we neared the end. So there shoukdnt be much hassle when Idlan's turn came. I would be sitting right at the front with my camera.

Concert Tomorrow

Tomorrow would be the boys' annual concert. Both would be taking part, with Idlan having a small solo role. Not sure what would be happening as he intended to keep it a secret. I tried to pry and bribe, but no can do.

Unfortunately, the costume for Irfan turned out to be a bit too small. We had to do a quick alteration to salvage things. Hopefully it would turn out OK.

The concert would also start a bit later than usual, at around 11. I had cut down the clinic to finish at around 11, but I thought it would be a struggle. I might be able toncatch glimpses of their performance.

Better charge up my camera for that tonight .....
