Little Bit, from here and there :)

Last weekend was busy busy at home. Went to house warming ceremony at Friends place, where kids had lot of fun running and playing together. Happiness was to see bunch of friends together, eat good food and played garba for a while as well. It was great fun. 

My favourite month is April is almost ending. I have made so many memories to remember this Month. Heading towards May and weather is still cold. It’s raining since last 2 days and going to rain next 2 days in row. Aaryu fell sick again and so as me. She is having stuffy nose and fever. And me I am scratching my ear, nose and throat….looks like I am goona get sick again, which I don’t want to. God please save me from this weather.

Did some cycling on Monday. I was very excited to learn from preet, as I thought that I forgot, how to do cycling. But no, I am proud on myself that, I know how to do it. Looking fwd to have hot days where I can go for cycling with Ananyaa. I tell you, to do cycling after 15 years is not easy job. I was happy that I knew it, but was not happy after I got pain in my shoulder and back and Arms. My whole body was aching. But it was good experience...Oh did I say, Aaryana Love her new tri-cycle. She is very happy to ride. When I am taking her for ride, she don't want to go back inside home. She loves out door. She don't know hoe to paddle, but the have foot rest on it and that helps her to just sit and we can push her with handle. :)

Never got chance to post pictures on Blog from our trip to Ripley fish Aquarium. Did post some on FB and G+. Will try to link over here as well. It’s beautiful place to visit. Again it’s not only for kids, but it is for all age group people.

Took Aaryana for Ear piercing, as she took out her right ear earring while sleeping. It was delayed since last 2 month. Finally we done that today. She cried little bit, but was ok after she got lolly pop from there. She was again happy girl of mine. Ear pearsing was a big task for me. 

Ananyaa got selected in her class for cultural program at her school which is on May 23, 2014. Looking fwd to that date. I have to make her learn something IMP, which represents Gujarat and as of now nothing comes in mind except Garba J .

I have not gone to garden Galley to get plant, which I suppose to go last week. It was way too busy at home and I was working as well, and weather is not that good this whole week so postpone that plan till next week. Ananyaa keep asking be about it and I feel bad as I can’t keep my words this time.

 Spoke to Brother In low today morning and he was in Hospital at surat as Dada is admitted. I pray that he get well soon and I can speak to him on phone. He is ICU and he is not allowed to talk on phone. I feel bad when came to know that he got poked in his neck to get Immunization as her vain in hands were week. It’s so hard to imagine how he was going through all this. I wish to see dada in Happy and cheerful in coming days. He got permanent pacemaker today as his heartbeats were getting low. Hope he do well in coming days. Get well soon Dada.

Election fever is India these days. I saw many people post their pic after they vote. Glad to know that people are being aware and going to vote, and why not, one should vote as it’s our right and responsibility too. Most of the people in Gujarat is in favorer of BJP (bhartiya Janta Party ), leading by Narandra Modi. He is in race for Prime Minister for this year. Hope he become one and we can see new India. This year election slogan was Chahe Jo bhi Ho, “Abki Bar, Modi Sarkar “

Always

Happy Day 14 - Earth Day and Education Week at School.

Spring is here and weather is getting better and some time worse too. Worse with cold, but its good that no Snow. I can listen birds singing early in the morning at 5.00 am. Trees and grass is getting green slowly. Earth Day was on 22 April, 2014 which I completely forgot and Ananyaa remind me when she was back from School. She called me at work and told me that I forgot for Earth Day and we didn't brought any plant for growing. Then she started giving me lecture regarding timing our thrash...may be she learn at school today. Normally since last 3 year we bring plant on earth day and then put them together in backyard or front yard. I told her in short last time that by doing so we can help ourselves to in heal fresh air which is very necessary this days. So this year I am listening something new from her regarding timing thrash at home. I am happy that she is understanding concept Earth Day where we all need to trim waste and reuse stuff which we can and save environment. I promise her that we will get plant coming weekend. I also have habit to plant any Flower plant or whatever I like on each none of our B'days. So I am getting 2 plant this weekend. :)

This week is also called as Educational Week. which almost all schools in GTA area celebrating by decorating their class with craft work of student. Basically they want students to learn about Respect and Kind and Polite and help others Love, Sharing and no bulling at school or anywhere else. I missed to visit for open house on Wednesday but Ananyaa went with her Daddy. He knows that I would love to see pics and he message me some pics from event. 

Happiness was to make  Moung Dal Halwa for first time in life and which turn good...."good only" not very good, but still I am happy. I have seen mom making this halwa many times, but never tried to do it my own. It was easy like soji halwa, It tasted nice and everyone enjoyed it. :) 

Love Always,

Anu Shah

Thanks for this Sweet Surprise, Thanks for Everything....I also want to Thanks all Family and Friends for showering B'day wishes on my FB pages....Feeling Blessed....:)  Ya that was my FB updates for Today with above Pics…. Rit’s Surprise me yesterday by ordering Fruit Plate for my B’day.

B’days come and go every year…but this B’day was way too good. Before in life, Priority on B’day was only me and now priority in life is my kids. When Rit's ask me what you want to do this year for your B’day and I was like, I don’t want to go alone this year, I want my kids too and he came up to visit fish aquarium in Toronto. HE was all prepared with Hotel reservations and Aquarium reservation too. So took kids to Toronto Ripley Aquarium. They had lot of Fun over there watching different kinds of fish. When I was there I was wondering, that there is all new world under the Water as well. I saw today different kinds of fish, which was beyond my imagination. It was amazing experience to visit Ripley Aquarium.

Ananyaa was way to excited for her Mom B’day that she told each and every one she knows in this world. Today morning on Breakfast table, in restaurant, she was mentioning even to waiters and helper that it’s her Momma B’day on Easter Sunday, so they should wish me Happy B’day…How sweet of her. I was feeling embracing and Happy for her this act. Embarrassing as they all wished me Happy B’day, and I even don’t know them, I was feeling shy and Happy that Ananyaa was happy in my happiness…I am so Proud of you Baby…She ask Daddy, did you wish my Mom for B’day wishes and where is her B’day Gift. Yes Daddy, Where is my gift. J J I know, It’s me who didn't pick one good cell phone. But I am sure I will have it soon daddy.

My B'day weekend started on Friday only. Went for movie 2 States with better half and girl friend....and will say movie is must see for all who had Love marriage and which is completely different than cast. I was so excited to watch movie 2 states as I read that book and was eagerly waiting to see on Screen how they have portrait. Songs of movie are too good and Aliya Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor acting is good as well. must say Chetan Bhagat is a versatile writer, It was written very well by him and now well directed by Abhishek Verman. All and all it is a great movie and I enjoyed it.....still humming song of this movie and its my fav song now....Man Mast magan, Man Mast Magan, bas tera naam dohraye.....

Once again thank you Rit’s and Ananyaa and Aaryu and Mom for such a Wonderful B’day. !!! I Love You all…

Happy Day 12 - Easter on its Way....

Good Friday is tomorrow following Easter Sunday. that means Schools are closed for 4 days in row. Daddy has made some plans for coming weekend which is my B'day weekend too. Ananyaa is excited more than anyone else as it's her mum's b'day and she and daddy is taking me away. It's their Surprise for me which everyone knows, including me ....lols :) . She keep says to each and everyone, that it's her mummy's B'day on Easter weekend. By today, she has updated this message to all her friends at school and too her teacher too. She is acting like news channel since last week. Her excitement is on High note and I hope we can make it for this weekend, as weather here is not good, it's little cold again.

Went to Recreation centre for Easter Egg-citment last weekend. It's an event for kids, plan by Peel Region in Brampton, where kids get to do some craft work and have fun playing, face painting etc. As I have to be at work, didn't spent much time, Hardly 1 1/2 hour, but it was fun for Ananyaa and Aaryu was roaming here and there, in her own masti. Today went to Hospital for Mum's Memo gram and spent good 2 hours at Hospital. It was hard to tackle Aaryana as she woke up in middle of her sleep, when we left for home, took some picture in hospital corridor. just loved those Easter décor. I have to make some craft with Ananyaa 

Happy Good Friday and Happy Easter.....Easter brings New Hope and I have lots of hope with Life, for myslef and Family too. 

Today got bad news from back home that Rit's Grand Pa is not well and have been Hospitalised. He is suffering from urine infection and might need to go through surgery. I wish he feels better soon and back to his normal routine. We are miles away from him but when get to know about his heath, everyone is worried and concern. Get Well Soon Dada. I wish you good Health in coming days....Amen. 

Love and more Love,

Happy Day 11 - Random Update

Just spoke to Ananyaa on phone, just lovced it to talk to her. She is always ready with bunch of update from her past day at school, and I just loved her to listen it. Same for Aaryana, she was talking in her own language today but saying Mumma, Mumma frequently in her silly talk. They sound so sweet, and i wish to talk to them endlessly, which is impossible as I am at work. Mumma miss you both a lot. 

Happiness is to see Ananyaa, doing skating so well. She got passed with all her pre school levels and now she has been moved to School Age level 3. I am so proud of you, keep it up !. I am so proud on myself too, as to make her ready for every class was not that easy. I had most of Hectic and rush days when come to her classes, but we learned how to make it fast and be ready on time. 

Happiness is to make Hot and Sour Soup in next 5 minutes, that also include cutting vegetables to add in it and to stir them for little wile and then to added boiled soup from Chngs Soup Packet. I was above to leave for work and Daddy was not well and has not eat anything. He requested me to make some soup, but I was running short of time. Some how managed to make it Hot and Sour soup from readymade pack and feeling proud that I did it in 5 mins and thanks to Chings ready to make pack as well. It was easy and affordable and tasty.

April is month, where we in Canada, expect spring weather, but this year weather is fooling around. It was + 22 degree temp past 3 days and we all were happy that finally warmer days are coming soon and today morning it was -5 with 5 cm. of snow. Now who ordered that snow, it was unexpected snow of the year... I was feeling puzzled, what to dress Ananyaa in morning, as I was all packed up with winter cloth at home for these season. Some how manage to make her wear something warm. Weather is very cold for whole week .

It's Hunman Jayanti Today, So happy Hunman Jayanti to all.

Lots of Love,

ANu Shah

Day of Pink

Today GTA students celebrates International Day of Pink - Anti Bullying Day by wearing pink. I remember she is participating in this Day of Pink since Kindergarten 1st year. But I was not sure if she really understands what is Bullying. So this morning when I was making her hair, we were talking about it.

Me - Ananyaa do u know, why you all are wearing pink today at School.

Her- Yes, because it's Bully Day today.

Me- What does that means !!!!

Her - U don't know Mumma...we did this last year too...

Me- No I don't remember !

Her - To rule over someone or to force someone is Bullying. and you are sometime bully to me too... You force me to eat, you force me to sleep, u make me write etc etc.... bllaa bllaa bllaa.

Me :- eyes and mouth, both open wide. I was and I am Shocked and surprise

Also happy to know that she knows what is bullying and she can stand up to stop that, the way she was telling me. 

Went to School to drop her on Monday as she was not well. I was running late on monday morning. It was Book Fair going on in her school for this week, so I though let me drop her at school, so that way I can go with her in Book Fair. We picked up 2 good books and then left 1 as she want to buy her own, when she visit with her classmates. It was fun visiting school that day. All her friends were on their snacks break and when they came, I got to see them. All of them were around me as I was holding Aaryu and they all want to play with her. Took above pic from hallway near her class room where they have displayed scrap work of her class. I walked the hallway and get to see other class craft and scrap work too. It's so amazing that this little kids can do such a great work. I missed to take more pic as my camera battery died. 

With Love,

Anu Shah
