Super Bowl Sunday!
Well, yesterday was superbowl sunday. We had a ton of errands to run and started off with mass at 10:45. By the time wwe got back it was 3:30. Sean and Aji stepped out again to get his pictures for passport renewal and couple more errands. Rhea took a nap and I had decided to do start on the dinner. Since it was superbowl and all and the wweather was pretty nice we had initially thought of grilling. I had planned on an appetizer and desert both of which i hadn't even done any prep work. Add to that I also had to make the Oatmeal and the lunches for the week. It got dark outside pretty quickly, aji went downstairs for a jog and i started on the Asparagus and Hummus Tart and then marinated the chicken to grill. That didn't take much time and i knew that it was going to be a appetizer and dessert night. So i put away the chicken that as marinating back in the fridge.
Asparagus and Hummus Tart
The game was on and the kids and aji settled with their drinks. Beer for dad and sparkling cider for the kiddos. I started on the desert in between watching snippets of the game. The game got pretty interesting after half time especially the 4th quarter. Anishchayan would call whenever there was a touch down. Sean also got interested in the game and he was backing the steelers. Since the Redskins hadn't made it (no surprises there), aji and I ususally support the underdog, in this case the Cardinals. It was a pretty close game and of course the steelers took it away with just 40 secs remaining.
In between the game, dessert was ready and Sean had slept off in front off the TV. I tried waking him up since he was most excited about the dessert. But he was so sound asleep.
I wanted to cut the tart in the morning with Sean but father and daughter would have none of it. both of them wanted it rightaway. Since i was outnumbered we went ahaed and indulged. It was awesome. Rhea enjoyed the fruits and the custard the most!
We went to bed, way too late for a sunday night and I woke up late and missed my workout today morning :(

Life's simple pleasures!
Friday night we let the kids stay up later than their usual bed time and this week they had a surprise late night treat - Ice cream! Rhea thoroughly enjoyed hers to the last lick...watch for yourself!
Favorite Things
I just realized today that i have never noted a list of Sean or Rhea's favorite things at any given time. Granted that they tend to change over time I think I should do it atleast once in a while. it will be fun to look back at what they loved at different stages of their growing years :)
SEAN,
Family - He is such a family man already. He loves loves loves his lil sister and calls her bebe or lil baby. Loves to play wwith her but also knows t0 push her buttons and get her irritated. He will occasinaly come and give me and aji a kiss and a hug. If i make something different he is very vocal and will say - Thank you mommy for making this. I just love that about him!
Food
His current favorite is breakfast. Pancake with a dollop of butter, maple syrup and breakfast sausages. he loves it so much, we had it both days this weekend. His other favorites - Poori, Poot (puttu), Flat eggs (bulls eye), baked eggs, egg and cheese sandwich, Cereal(mix of cheerios, cinnamon toast, frosted flakes, honey bunches)
He also loves chicken nuggets and tater tots, mashed potatoes, pesto chicken sandwich, pizza, chirros, ICECREAM (MINT, COTTON CANDY with gummy bears mixed in, CHOCOLATE, VANILLA)
Entertainment - He loves everything STAR WARS. He has watched the movies so many times that he has memorized a few dialogues :) He loves his light saber and is looking forward to soccer in spring. He is slowly beginning to enjoy his swim lessons.
Fav quote- yeah Babe! (in different tones depending on when he is happy, sad or angry)
