Adhu atttending farm bday party

Our neighbour satpreet organized her son's bday party in a farm which is some 45 minutes drive from home.  Parents were not allowed and advitha had to go with kids she plays every day so she was eagerly looking forward to the mini picnic
On the D day kids were given id cards, made to assemble and taken in a van to the farm. I got to know from satpreet (who was giving real time updates to us) that kids were taken around the farm,  made to feed the person animals, after which there was cake cutting and play sessions
I am in awe of these moms who sweat it out for their lil ones bdays. I am sure advitha had a great time with her friends. .
Any place is a better place with friends. .

grandpa (?))!! stories

The other day I was reading Adhu some interesting stories from the book 'Grandpa Stories'. The cover page of the book had a old man reading to small kids.Adhu was observing the cover page for a while and suddenly asked
'Mumma does grandpa's read stories?'
My heart sinked. My lil girl has two strong, hale and healthy grandpa's but both are busy pursuing their own interests and even when she sees them once in few months nothing worth mentioning about it...
In this context I should thank my mom, if not for her, my gals would not know the wonders of grandparents
I hope the folk of loving granddads increase and light the life of their own descendants...

good night sleep things

A Couple of days before Advitha started this habit of 'good night sleep things' where she packed lots of her goodies (her hair accessories, bangles, my lipstick, nail colurs, hair bands etc etc) and placed it next to her and slept..the reason she gave was to get good dreams and she herself named it as 'good night sleep things'
We found it really funny but its additional headache to me as it means she has to be late for sleep and her father who had to be pricked by these accessories while sleeping. we asked her to place the goodies in a bag so that we can remove it  when she goes into deep sleep only to put it back before she wakes up and not to mention It was extremely funny to watch her getting up with full makeup's somedays..
Anyway after a few days she forgot about this new found habit but we seriously miss the fun
