    Snuggling close to Mumma and using the same pillow!

    Claiming that the maternity pillow Papa brought home is for “Babushka and Mumma to share”

  • This year, we had a 5 day weekend for Easter and the 5 days were well spent:)
    On Friday, we took Babushka to watch Rio,the movie and she Loved it.She just couldn’t stop talking about it. Her favorite part of the movie was -when Blu flies.
    We spent a lot of time doing things together as a family-be it reading,playing silly games, walking in the park or cleaning the house. It was really nice,the feeling of belonging and togetherness..:)
    On Saturday,a friend cooked up a delicious fish curry for me,since I was craving it:P And we gobbled it up over back-to back viewing of Harry Potter. Sometime,during Babushka’s Easter Break,we introduced her to the HP series and she has fallen in love with the BOY!She couldn’t stop asking,”what’s his name,again??Can I watch the Boy’s movie?” So,yeah we watched and we watched..now she remembers every sequence!!
    On Sunday we set out to see the old gold mining town of Sovereign Hills in Ballarat.We joined 2 other families there..their older kids are 4 or almost 4 too..and the younger ones are babies..:) So, a good time was had by all.The kids had each other for company and we grown-ups had fun too:) I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking…

    Monkeying around in the gold Musuem

    Three little explorers-aah the prospects:)

    Checking out the miners’ tent

    Cooking up a feast-Chicken soup to be precise!

    My little gold-digger-she refused to move from there till we actually picked up a glittering pebble,made a big fuss about her finding GOLD!! She was so excited…for all of 5 minutes and then,she got tired and said,”its ok Never mind…we could throw this”..and threw it away!

    After we dragged her away from the gold-digging site,we headed off to Bendigo,our next destination and pit stop:)
    All that walking and exploring,left us so tired.. Babushka couldn’t fall asleep till we gave her a foot-rub!
    More later.. πŸ™‚

  • Yes!Its back.We just got back from the Dr.’s office and the blood tests are positive for Gestational Diabetes. 😦
    Now to wait n see,if they put me on Insulin on Monday.
    Surprisingly,I am not as upset as last time..may be because I expected it..Ohh well.. its OK!

  • We had a chance to visit a Pottery Factory over Easter Break and I got to try my hand at wheel throwing.
    It was a half an hour session and we were given three balls of clay to work with.The potter guided me,instructing me what to do,so as to give it the desired shape..Since I was the only grown-up there,he left me pretty much to my own devices..:)

    Aadya wanted to help with the second ball and ended up added way too much water.. causing our pot to crumble:( But she lovedddd feeling the wet clay on her fingers too..

    My final creations :

    I wish I could have stayed longer and made more! Its been almost two weeks,but I still can’t get the experience out of my head!
    Hubby was so impressed,he insisted we get the pots,glazed and baked πŸ™‚ A memory preserved! Waiting for the final products to be delivered.
