Fun with Sand

These days there are Short Evening Showers in bangalore . After the rain, when i take my kids to play in the park,we take the Sand Toys coz my gurlz love playing in the sand. I have been coming to the same park for 3 year and more, but my kiddos r never fed up of this Messy Activity. If there is any toy that these girls have fully used , those are their sand toys. I suggest every Mommy to Get these Toys for ur kiddos.

Cherai Beach

It was a Sunday. Our (2 month)vacation in kerala was coming to an end. WE were planning a trip to Cherai Beach(jst 12 KMs from our place in Aluva) at 4 o'clock in the evening, with my Sis,who was longing for a trip to any end of the world,coz she's hardly travelled anywhere for ages. Her Boss's marriage happened to be on that same day. A 'pick and drop facility' had been arranged from her office for attending the function. And so we were all waiting for that evening.

Kids were excited to go. Me too. I am a fan of Beaches and this was the only chance for me to visit before we left for bangalore. Time passed. All of us were sleeping and waking up in turns from our afternoon nap, jst to see if my sis was back from the function. 3 o'clock passed, 4 o'clock passed...by 5 o'clock we all started getting desperate. We noticed that she left her bag and mobile where she usually keeps her stuff. She obviuosly had taken her bigger bag which she had bought recently.

We were wondering,how cud she leave the mobile and go to a faroff place without informing us that she's gonna be late. We started calling her colleagues and even her Boss(Poor Fellow got tensed on the day of his marriage!) and all of them were surprised that ,she hadn't reached home. Infact a few of them mentioned that she was the first one to get off the bus at 2:30. Then we started assuming that she wud have gone for shopping to cochin,as she was mentioning about it the other day. My dad was ready to burst with anger and was waiting to fire her if he got her in his sight. By 6:30 PM we assumed that she had run away from home.

I went off upstairs to see if she has taken her clothes, and left a note or any clue to her disappearance. I opened her bedroom door and Lo and Behold, I see her lying on the bed, snoring away to Glory. I rubbed my eyes to chk if I were hallucinating. For a moment I thot she was there the whole day,as we were in Church when she had left home for the marriage . I burst open my emotions at her (tho it took some time for her to realise what i was saying) and she too at me. She hadn't known what commotion she had created by not just letting us know where she is.

What happend was that she had reached home at 2:45 and it seems the front door was open and all of us were in deep sleep . My dad was somewhere outside and he didn't hear too. My sis was too tired to let us know that she had come and she didn't want to disturb our sleep. She left her bag and mobile down(which was what we saw while we were enquiring bout her). From the time she hit her room and closed her door,she knew nothing that happend at home nor did we know that she was in the house all the while. Another round of phonecalls were made, to let everyone know that she was home afterall. It was embarassing for her, that all her colleagues were dragged on for her whereabouts.

Even tho we had many arguments ...we were glad to see her but sad that we cudn't make it to Cherai Beach.

Bubbles

Kids these days r fascinated by a lot of things. For the past few days, my kids ask their dad to make them a soap solution for Blowing Bubbles. DAd makes a mixture of Soap, water and oil in the right proportion and gives it to them. From then on, kids r in their own world of fun and frolic.

Magic Potion

I have been using this home remedy for almost 3 years and beleive me, it works. If my girls get cough ,specially dry cough, i don't give them any coff syrups. Instead I give them a spoon of honey with a pinch of turmeric powder mixed to it, 3 times daily. If given continously for 3 days the cough subsides.
