Harry Potter has major fan following in the Sunshine household.Both SD and I were big fans and then along came Aadya and by the time she was 4,she had watched all of the movies in the Harry Potter series. And literally,in the last 16 months since Nanhi’s birth and even through my pregnancy,a HP movie was enough to cheer her up.
Tonight,I don’t have to cook..I put together a goat curry in the slow cooker and for some reason I am in the weekend mood.So,we planned a movie night in..and obviously the movie of choice was HP!
The girls are snuggled up on the couch with their drinks,Mango Tang.Nanhi called me to sit next to her and she is squeezed in between me and her didi and time there is a loud sound,she startles,then looks at me for assurance and then goes back to the movie!
I think she just might be the the youngest Harry Potter fan!
Any other Harry Potter fans here?Show of hands,please!!

I am having one of those lazy kind of days today. SD had some work so he dropped Aadi at school and I could just stay in my PJs.After SD came back,we had chai and brekky and then I had to go in to finish some of my work.But,it being a non-operative day,I could go in my
Pjstrackies …So I went in finished the work and now,just lazying around.Nanhi is taking a nap,so is SD-he is officially off work now,until early next year!I can use the time to cook,after all I have a whole lot dishes that I could cook after my big grocery run..but I just couldn’t be bothered. But,the meals are not going to cook themselves..So…I M.U.S.T get up! LOL!
I am loving these daily posts-Instead of having a silent dialogue with myself,I can put it out here,not really best-seller material..but really what else would you expect on a personal blog?:P
In other news,I have been going crazy on Pinterest looking for the perfect present for Aadi’s teacher..Sometimes I feel,I love her more than Aadi does!LOL! And she has worked so hard with Aadya this year,I really want to show her how much we all appreciate her. I mean seriously,if Aadya eats her school meals today,all the credit goes to Mrs.W.
Check this out,loads of ideas for DIY presents here 🙂
And now I should step away from the laptop and start cooking..:)

We had so many things planned for today and so,I had the brilliant idea of blogging on the go..I decided that I will keep writing snippets through out the day and then have a great blog post..Only problem,I forgot to open the new post on WP on the iPad and without internet access I couldn’t open it.Anyway,long story short,here’s some snippets from my day today..
Aadi and Nanhi lying on the mattress,we dragged out to the living room(it was too hot last night) and Aadi telling Nanhi.. “Mumma is older than you,Papa is older than you,Tuku(masi) is older than you,Nanu is older than you,Dadu is older than you,Dadi is older than you..etc etc..”till she had accounted all the family members..Nanhi listened quietly and then nodded wise,”hmm”.
I took Aadi for a painting workshop today..she had so much fun and I am seriously considering enrolling her in a painting class.I wasn’t much older than her,when I first learned to paint and I am so glad I did.After the workshop,we came home and I cooked lunch-a quick semolina pulav,which Aadi refused to even try. I have managed to get my hands on a copy of Vegie Smugglers and I am hoping it will help me get some veggies into my fusspot!
After lunch,it was time for swimming..SD went in the water this time and I sat with my iPad with all the intentions of blogging..but there was no internet,so spent the time playing Panda Jam..my latest obsession.
After swimming,Ms.Aadya wanted a cupcake so we went to the cupcake bakery for coffee,the girls had cupcakes and we had our coffees.
And then,it was time for a grocery run!There is nothing I love more than a well stocked fridge and pantry.SD bought loads of marinated kebabs,so thats what we had for dinner-kebabs with steamed rice and moong daal.
Now the girls are in bed and we are watching Talaash..SD is on leave from tomorrow so I am hoping to get a break atleast in terms of school runs:)
More later

Today’s post is a part of the theme blogging from the Marathon Blogger’s group,the theme being “A photo Memory-a blast from the past”
The pic I am sharing is from -My Haldi ceremony..:) I wanted a very traditional wedding..the Yash Chopra kind of wedding..with all the rituals done..every custom followed to the tee and the works.And really,my dad made sure it was a wedding fit for a Princess.:)
The old Photographer Uncle loved clicking my pics..He kept telling my dad and everyone else,he had never seen another bride,so ready with a smile..even when she had tears in her eyes…:)
And because he was always clicking pics,I have so many precious moments captured on camera..the pic above is one such..
Frisky is my first baby..He was a gift from SD,when I lost my pup to snake-bite.
When I saw the theme,I knew instantly this was the pic that I was going to share..after all it is the month we got married..and my mind is flooded with memories of all the preparations and celebrations:)
