October action summed up...

I posted so little in October it may give an idea that nothing much happened. Actually it was a month full of crazy, busy , action . Trips between theater, playground, preschool, playball , not to mention costumes and  Halloween parties. Avi decided to be Pirate this year . Neev dressed as Pumpkin for one party and as lion for another. He looked so cute in the lion costume , friends joked that this lion wanted to be eaten . Last week we went to Boo Bash to University Park where Avi loved to throw the spiders in their webs and catching fish in the net. 

Week before that visits to Strawberry farm and pumpkin patch were very enjoyable . Avi got to ride the pony and Neev loved to roll in hay. Day before Halloween we carved a pumpkin and I was pretty happy with the outcome, this being my first carving project and all. It made a cute and pleasant looking jack-o-lantern.  Finally Halloween, trick or treat and a great 'After Halloween Party' at my friend Tina's haunted house. She did some serious decorations in her house and Avi was not one bit scared or overwhelmed with all grown ups in costumes. He in fact loved trailing the pretend cockroaches and mice Tina had put everywhere against the walls. Her jell-o dessert was yummy , only in shape of a skeleton hand and smashed brain, yep .....brain. It did not stop the guests hacking into them or enjoying the 'pusballs' she named her cream puffs. 

We celebrated Diwali at home and I was very proud of myself for arranging 'all' the items necessary to perform 'pooja', including holy water from Ganges. Avi loves doing 'aarti' and can sing along a lil bit. Later that week we celebrated again with a bunch of friends and potluck dinner. 'Bhagwan Ji' brought Avi a remote control car and 'Batman with missile launcher' for being a 'good boy' this year and he was thrilled. Now he wants Diwali everyday :)

Last week we also went to 'Wild Animal Park' in San Diego and loved it. This was our first long day trip in a long time and we learnt that single stroller would not do for any trip requiring to be out for more than 3 hrs. 

For November I hope to record my life more frequently as it happens.
