Eid, the Dregia Way!


On Friday, Moody and Jake finally had the sleepover they've been arranging for a year! They were in preschool together two years ago, and then Jake moved on to kindergarten while Moody stayed in preschool for another year. Despite that, they kept in touch and the friendship continued to prosper. Being in the same school helped. Every time they meet, Moody would inform us later that the sleepover date is set, etc., etc. Turned out, Jake would do the same to his Mom. Well, it finally happened this Friday. Brandon, our neighbor and Moody's classmate, joined them on Friday but didn't sleep over.

On Saturday, we went to Boo at the Zoo. It was a gorgeous day, in all ways! The weather, the mood, everything. We had a terrific time. The kids zonked out on the way back from the zoo; they were so exhausted! A nice Eid-preview outing.

Tomorrow is Eid! We put the sign up. I'm glad I had the Eid shopping all done along with the school shopping back in August. I'm a good planner! All we need now is Moody's haircut. We're ending Ramadan with a bazeen ختامه مسك... آآآ بازين! Though it's Eid, tomorrow is business as usual. Kids will be in school, I have a meeting at 4:30 in Campus and then a class at 8 pm. So, I guess no real celebration yet but plenty to come. We'll plan a movie and Eid gifts spree next weekend.




Happy Eid!

  3. Hey, thank you guys very much and best wishes for you and yours on this Eid. In this part of the globe, our Eid is sort of unconventional, and a bit bland this year since the weather has not been helping much. We actually had some snow flurries this morning, not much but still visible flurries, not to mention pretty cold. The good news is we get to have bazeen two days in a row!

  5. Happy Eid, all!

    HL, you lok much better now!

    Piccolina, thank you for dropping by. The Eid flag is not hard to make, even in Libya I think. I sent the digital image by email to a company that makes flags, and received the flag in no time. Though you don't have the professional service in Libya, I'm sure you can find a way of printing an image on fabric and making a flag out of it. Get creative... a project for next Eid!
