Highlights of October :
Ashu now wears glasses. I knew it was coming because he will sit and read anywhere without being bothered about poor lighting. We usually have to watch him like hawk and it is not possible to do that 24/7. Anyways, we both were little upset that he has to wear glasses, but we have to do what we have to do. I am glad we caught it before it was bad and before he even realized the need for glasses. I have to say that he looks very studious and handsome in his glasses :-)
Reminds me of my bro when he was in school :) Only he is olli and my bro was a chubby boy :) So, he comes home with glasses on day 1 (Monday 4-Oct) and AJ was after him to snatch his glasses. I told AJ that ashu cant see well without glasses and he shouldn't snatch it, thinking that it will make him not snatch it and he goes..Mommy i can't see anything now..i need glasses!! GRR. I thought i will trick him and showed four fingers and asked him to count. I didnt say i was testing him...i just made it look like a game and the dude goes..oh my God, i cant see anything. I dont see your fingers..you dont have fingers..Sivaji Ganesan can take few tips from him!! After couple of hours he realized he was not going to get the glasses and left it. The next day, when ashu came back from school he went and tried differently...Hey ashu, can i check if i fit well in your glasses? Yeah right!! Nice try!! :DCheekwood : We went to Cheekwood one sunday after Ashu raved about it after his field trip. It was indeed very good. The chihuly exhibitis were beautiful and i loved the documentary showing how they made it. We took some really good fall pics of the kids. On the way back Ashu asked me which one i liked the most and B and I both said we liked the Sunset and he asked AJ and he said i liked the Elevator :-)
Halloween : Ashu picked Ninja costume again..Two years back he was Green ninja, last year red and this year black. No more cute costumes for Ashu, that mommy can pick. I suggested Harry Potter and he said the cape looked horrible. AJ picked woody and i was happy that he is still sticking to cute costumes. :-) Trick or treating was funny. Some houses they said the kid can take how muchever they want and Ashu took only one and AJ went crazy...That explained why his basket was HEAVVVVVVVIER :D We had a fun experience at home too...When some of our friends came a dog came in when i opened the door. All the kids went crazy chasing the dog and the dog ran inside instead of outside and i was just praying that it doesn't do it's business on the rugs/carpet. Thank God we managed to send him out before anything happened! It was a funny experience for the kids :-) One more funny thing that happened was we met a kid who was buzz light and his dad saw AJ and asked me if he could take pics of both AJ and buzzlight together and i said yes. When the dad was trying to focus the camera and the buzzlight was busy posing for the camera, our woody bent down and started transfering candies from buzz's basket to his!! Ashu caught him on time and gave the candies back!! :D
Kids are enjoying their Sunday classes at the temple and have started making new friends.
We had a get2gether at the end of navaratri. Our first get2gether in our new house and it was good. The kids had a great time and there were no fights and the toyroom wasn't even messy after the kids left because the older kids were playing wii and the little ones were content with just watching. no fights, no screams..it was too good to be true :)
Kids started going to the local library and they laaaaav it. I haven't stepped in there yet..So far only B has been taking them.
We also celebrated B's birthday in a simple way. For his start birthday we went to the temple and i had cooked a simple dinner for him with his favorite stuff, so we came back home and AJ was totally shocked that we didnt go to celebrate Dad's birthday at chuck-e-cheese :D
Fall Fest : We went to fall fest on the last friday of october and it was fun for the kids. i bought a handbag for myself and so it was fun for me too ;-) I had volunteered for the nail salon at the school and all the little girls took me for a ride...They were so picky about the colours and patterns and it was so hard for me to paint those little nails :-) By the end i was so happy that i have only boys :D They are so easy breezy to deal with :D
Endhiran : We watched Endhiran in theater the tuesday after it was released as we didnt get the weekend tickets. When i picked up Ashu i told him that he needs to finish his homework fast as we were going to watch the movie and he said, why did you book tickets for me..I am not interested. I said, try saying this to mama, he will kick your rear for saying this for a rajini movie and he said but i like only Kamalnaathan. I said you cant even say his name right..he is kamalhaasan and that made him mad. He said, that doesnt matter, i like him better than rajinikant. Apparently he is still so fascinated with Dasavataram! Luckily he had finished his homework in school already so all i had to do was feed the kids and we ate dosas too and were good to go.
Ashu was kinda cribbing about having to goto a tamil movie, but once the movie started he was laughing so much and i pulled his legs asking him if we should go back home and he said NOOOO :D Overall he enjoyed the movie and aj enjoyed the first half and promptly fell asleep. He was upset that the doctor chopped chitti (the robot) and fell asleep. When he woke up this morning the first thing he asked was why did the doctor chop chitti. I said after you slept he fixed him back and he was okay after that. He went to B and said, Daddy i dont want to goto school, i want to go watch Endhiran the robot. Yeah right!! :D
I asked ashu if rajinikant is his favorite actor now and he said no..he said he still likes kamalhaasan better. B was sooo disappointed and so was my brother. They both think it has to do with me and i swear i didnt influence ashu..Heck, i dont even like kamalhaasan anymore..i am "mature" enough to like a movie for the story and real acting than go watch a movie just because i like someone!! (Aamir n Hrithik are exceptions though ;-))
So that's the update for october! Phew!
