Splash

I have 2 days off and Anush and Navy do not!!

Got her a pichkari for her and realised in Tamil a little mispronunciation would make it Pichakari ( beggar)

Anush wanted colours and I refused. Told her she could use plain water instead

Wish those organic guys sold colours as well.

LOL @ pichkari and pichakari. haha.

or do you think some haldi and kumkum mixed in water would work?

How do we know said...

i like the new header a lot.

Organic colors are available. You can also make them at home. Henna powder in water. Roses dried and crushed. Marygold dried and crushed.

What about using food coloring? And cool about having the whole house to yourself for 2 days!

we ended up with normal colours. thoroughly smeared oil before and scrubbed hard with besan after. first holi for kids, 'twas fun.

so what do you plan to do for two days?!

thanks guys about the header- wish i could find a better background though

chox- just chilled out and read and slept and ate and palyed with anush

i used kum kum and turmeric finally and anush did not want it on her face so just some on her hands

we had a ball playing with the water and the pichkari

though - NO other kids joined in!! cold and cough were the excuses offered by parents- I missed MUMBAI!!
