15 Marbles

I am trying get back on the blogging bandwagon..so you have to suffer through these random posts 🙂 Please bear with me.. I promise,it will get better or you’ll just get used to it..:P

This morning was really nice.. do you know why?Well,it was because we were ready and out of the door at 8:30 am..like everyday,but today,I didn’t have to yell! Aadi woke up without any drama and finished her breakfast and was dressed up well before 8am and then,she played quietly,so as to not wake up her sister.
After dropping her at school,Nanhi and I headed off to the medical center,for my blood-test.We came home,had brekky and then,Missy Moo,decided to take a nap.In the mean-time,I had a shower,finished cooking lunch.This is what we ate for lunch today 🙂

Stir-fried Paneer,broccoli and bok choy with steamed rice tempered with garlic and dried red chilies.. yummm.
Ohh and more than anything else,I finished this beanie for Ms.Anan

And then spent the rest of the day fighting with her!!!So that she would keep it on 😦

She kept it on for all of 2 minutes..:( I am hoping that she will warm up to it(fingers crossed).
More later..its 9:45pm and she still awake..she went to bed at 7:30 and woke up an hour later,so refreshed!

Ms.Aadya is back at school and the house is quiet again.She was so excited about going back to school..She packed her bag,set her clothes and lunch bag out last night.

This morning,I told her,”Aadi,I’ll miss you,when you are school” and she replied,”Aww,its ok Mumma,but you’ll get your peace and quiet back!” yup! It took me sometime to think of a response to that one. 

The house is quiet..but a little too quiet! Ananya is quietly playing with E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G she can possibly get her little hands on.And there is no screaming,because didi took it ..there is no squealing Aaaaaduuuuuuuuuuu!! And I can just relax and blog too..:) And the constant chatter…”blah blah blah,yeah,Mumma?” is missing..:(

I am doing non-stop laundry and trying to bring some sense of order to the house…but its too tempting to just while the day off,peacefully surfing the internet.

Happy Monday everyone…

I took Ms.Aadya for her first pedicure,as a late birthday present.Before you start telling me she is too young for it,let me assure you,it was just a foot soak and nail color in the salon..But the excitement levels were sky-rocketting !

She has been asking for Mummy-Aadi time for a long time.. That’s exactly what we did yesterday.First we grabbed some hot chocolate from our favorite coffee shop then sat outside and sipped it,while we waited for our appointment.Gosh!She is a chatterbox.. chat chat chat… all the time.. 

She talked through the whole thing..asking the nail technician,what she was doing to Mummy’s feet.. and why was she using the nail file..why was she putting the gooey blue stuff on mummy’s legs(the gooey stuff was foot scrub!!!) .She picked purple glitter color for her toes and white glitter for her fingers.. And before leaving remembered to pick up a lolly for her sister.

And all the time,she kept saying…WOW!This is my very first Pedicure! I am so excited!And she thanked the ladies at the salon atleast 10 times for her beautiful nails..There was a bride-to-be and her friends there..and almost everyone of them talked to her and asked her how she was enjoying..:)

And this morning,when we were taking pics of our nails,Ms.Ananya had to join in.. and what could be a bigger co-incidence than the fact that she was wearing her purple toed socks 🙂 

Hope you all have a great weekend..:)

School Holidays are here and we spent the week after Aadya’s birthday being sick and getting sicker..Everyone is on the mend now and the school holidays are nearly over. SD is working on a new assignment and leaves home at or before 7 am..which is quite a change from his work from home and going out only for meeting days. 

This week,the girls and I have been going out in the mornings out to the library or to catch the holiday entertainment our local shopping centers have organised. Its fun..just hanging out with the girls and watching them together.Yesterday we caught the Scooby Doo show and Ananya insisted on getting out of the pram and joining her sister..She has no fear,this girl..She joined in the dancing with all the big kids and screamed her heart out,when her sister did.

Aadya on her part was the most caring sister ever..At home,they get in each other’s face and fight and what not..but outside,they know to stick close to each other. Aadya made sure,Ananya was in her sight,even when they were dancing.Ananya made sure,Aadya’s bottle was always in her sight!LOL! Ohh! I love my little monkeys..I can’t imagine one without the other!

We are reading a lot,watching lots of TV,playing in the park,on most days and staying up late..even if it means driving mumma insane! 

And lots of  board game playing..when your mum works at a toy library..there is never a dearth of new games to try.

On the whole we are having a lot of fun..Hope you are well too…Hopefully regular blogging will resume from next week..right now,I have to go an comfort the upset toddler..
