The weekend that was

Last year we had carved a pumpkin for Halloween. This year we just had plain simple fun as a family. went for a party and surprised Anushka with Navy coming home early when Anush was on the phone with him.

We attended the famous blogger twins' birthday and this was also Aditi's introduction to social dos. Aditi was a doll but slept right through.

Anush had a great time and mentioned that she would not have the Tom and Jerry cake since it was not Mickey or Minnie Mouse.

She also noted the flute glass visual on the Appy drink and wanted to know if it was Cheers!!

The candle was wonderful and this is the first time I am seeing one like this. It kept lighting up as the kids kept blowing it out!

It has been ONE year since Mister Muthu came into print. This Nov issue has been illustrated really well. Those of you who can pick up please do so and the others who read it online- I guess will have to wait a couple of months for it.
