Five stars and seventy and ten


It was Anush's fifth star bday and my FIL's seventieth bday. A good excuse to have an elaborate family get together which turned out to be so much fun !!






On Saturday, Anush and I had been to Monkey Maze, a good place for activities and of course with a net maze/ obstacle course. Anush enjoyed herself though I felt the maze is more suited to an even younger age group. The lady who runs the place seemed enterprising and they offer some nice activities. Might check those out sometime. While on activities, Anushka is writing very well and enjoys abacus.

Jump Bunch conducted a complementary session which was okay. And also when anyway you do similar things at home it does not remain that special. Not as cool as gymbabes / Tumble tots in Chennai.

Took a family portrait " Amreeki " style at a studio- my ILs with their son and two daughters and all our kids- 14 of us in one frame. Priceless. Though I would have liked an outdoor natural one as well like the one here of the grand kids...

Missed the Strand sale but they are back in December and I hear from my neighbour that she gets good discounts even otherwise!! Missed the plays at Bal Bhavan but am sure if they were good they will soon come back to town

And yes, our cute bonda- Aditi turned 10 months on Sunday.
Pl go here to Saffron Tree for my review of a series that we LOVE on friendship.

Strand sale was good.
Happy birthday to Anush. The header looks beautiful with the words matching the design on Aditi's dress. Lovely. You must teach me how to change headers. Hopeless at that as usual.
Tag, Art and starry? No fear.
