Funny Neev

So we are not allowed to say 'shut up' in our house but what do you do when you really want someone to do that? My 7 years old takes advantage of Samskritam classes he is taking and shouts "MookamSamvak" in Samskritam :)

On our way to Anniversary dinner kids picked one parent each to support (I don't remember/don't have a good reason what persuaded them) and started listing why Mommy or Daddy is stronger/better. Avi was supporting Mommy and Neev was taking Daddy's side. After a few minutes of comparing things like Daddy is taller, Mommy talks more (really !!!), Daddy attends more meetings, Mommy attends more parties, Daddy works out more, Mommy works more, it came down to Daddy drives the truck and Mommy drives the car. Avi thought he won the round by mentioning that Daddy's truck is a Toyota and Mommy' car a Lexus, Neev  immediately snapped, "Oh yeah ? Toyota has more letters than Lexus". Well what do you say to that?

October

October was the month of festivals. Hosted Karvachauth party, celebrated Diwali and then Halloween. This year Avi was Ninja, Neev the Batman and Anurag a really creepy wizard. Weather is just the right kind of chilly this time of the year, perfect to take walks and when we planned for a hike in Hemlock Bluffs on a beautiful day, an unexpected adventure happened. Neev stepped on a baby copperhead on the trail all camouflaged with fallen leaves and mulch. No harm done and he has a great story to share!!

Long Labor Day Weekend

It turned out to be a great idea to pack in one more outing to beach before the end of summer. A second trip to Kure Beach this season with friends was the ideal way to get some R&R. It was quite busy at the beach but Anurag was able to get a catnap anyway. I got mine in the car the moment we started back home.
Celebrated Ganesh Utsav at a friend's place in the night and thanks to the photography talent of a few friends, we got our superb 'Shriman-Shrimati' pictures for cover snapshot of this year's photo book :)
Looking forward to all upcoming festivals and welcoming fall!
