It was once again time for googleween. This year kids had their party on a separate day. There were clowns, balloon artists, face painting, live music and various activities for kids. There were scarecrows and a pumpkin patch for the kids to select their pumpkin for decorating. There were bins full of very ugly looking candies all around the park. There were snake -rats-eyeball-worm candies.

Nightcrawlers

Mini house for chota baby......

We went to the neighbourhood pumpkin patch. The best thing about the trip was I got to go there in the night. There were lots of jumphouses. One of the dinosaurs jumphouse collapsed on us. We don;t have a picture of it as my mom froze for a second and cldn;t take a picture. I had fun running around the patch. My mom gave me a ride in a wheelbarrow. The outing came to an end with my dad scaring me with a really yucky looking scary mask.

Tikka time.....

Mom had a small ceremony at home called kanjak and she invited few of my friends. Kanjak is done on the 8th day of the navratri festival. Little girls are invited over and given traditional halwa puri and chana along with some gifts. Back in India as a kid my mom too along with her sisters used to go for kanjaks. This was the first time she had kanjaks and it made her all nostalgic....

Aayush..

Thats the only name I can say very clearly. I even call caillou 'aayush'. Actually Aayush is my nanny's son. At times he comes home with his mom to play with me. We fight over the same toys. He is very good at riding a scooter and I really want him to teach me that.
