Feb 2012 :

 

Can't believe it's already  Feb! Since we came back from chennai, we have been taking turns and falling sick. The winter  isn't even half as bad as last year, but i guess all the travel and change of place are factors for falling sick.

 

Ashu participated in the county level 4-H contest and came 5th in his group. He didnt make it to the finals as only the top two from each group were qualified.But, they gave  him a ribbon and took  a photo of the top 5 :) We were super proud of him. He did great,especially considering that he was the first to go!!

He was little soft and did not smile. I think if he works on it, he can be #1 next year :) AJ told  ashu that  he thinks  that Ashu was thebest and they should've given him the 1st place ribbon :) And within seconds he started annoying ashu...

 

14 Feb 12: V-day!

 

Kids were excited not because it was V-day, but because of all the goodies they would get from school!! ;-) For ashu, we picked the cards with a mini candy bar that can be rolled into the card, but for AJ i picked plain cards thinking his school is strict with those stuff, but he came with lot of candies!! I was one of the few "stingy" moms who didnt send any candies for the kids. I got big chocolate boxes for the teachers and later in the evening, aj told me "Mommy, you know there is no rule that you need to send chocolates only for teachers, you can send for kids too..hehe" :D

 

Another funny thing was, he was helping ashu with his cards the previous night and ashu had  3 left over cards and aj said, "ashu give appa one, one for me and you can have the other". I was wondering why he didnt mention my name and ashu asked him right as i was thinking of that and aj said "Oh don't give amma, because she is dieting and i will make sure she is eating only healthy food"!!! The little brat!! :D

 

I volunteered at ashu's school for the party and the kids were pretty independant and i didnt have to do much there and got to chat with my friend ;-)

 

17 Feb 12 : Calling God!!

 

Today, i was packing lunch while aj was eating his breakfast and he was squishing his idly and making a mess.I said "Krishnaaa!" and he asked why did you call Ummachi and i said so He will make me not see the huge mess you are making and AJ said " Well, you could just turn your face away from me and that will make you not see the mess..why are you calling God for such a simple thing?!"
