It is still january, so i think i can post about new year! :)
Last year on new year eve, ashu wanted to stay up late and i let him. He waited and waited and when it was 12 and when we wished him Happy New Year, he said That's it and was disappointed and went to sleep. He was way too sleepy to have any excitement at all.
It reminded me of an episode of Arthur. This year, AJ decided to join the fun too and we were watching t.v. and at 11, they were showing new york and the ball dropping at the timesquare and the excitement caught on the kids as me and Balaje were doing the count down too..And then when they showed nashville at 12, they both were jumping with excitement and AJ ran up the stairs and stood midway and he said mommy it is 2011 so i climbed 11 stairs. This made ashu crack up! :) This time they were pretty excited about new year since they were both up :)
With new year, they went to school for a week and the schools were closed for 4 days the next week. They had a break after the break..Lucky kids..now, why would the offices not do that too? It snowed quite a bit and the snow stayed up for the whole week..It has never happened before..The temparature usually rises in a day or two. Anyways, instead of sulking, we built a snow baby. B was not in town. If we had one more pair of hands, we would've built a snow man! :) Kids had a blast outside and they wanted to do it every day, but i was not ready to let them do it everyday and fall sick. So,i got boxes of snow inside and they were playing with it, using cups and pans as moulds. They had this colours kit that their athai had sent a while back and they added colour to the snow and were mixing colours and experimenting. It was a fun activity for them and i could work form home peacefully :)
After the break, when they had school the next week AJ asked, "Are they not cancelling school today?" My kinda boy!! :)
Break is never enough!! :)
