Its the source of my workout woes..winter for me is the hardest time to force myself out of the bed for my workouts and off late its magnetic pull is getting stronger and stronger and my will to resist is turning into mush...
MUST GET BACK TO THE DRILLS AND LOOSE ALL THE JIGGLES..

Back to reality!
Praveen, Rosie and Elisha left for New Jersey...its back to reality...Work, School, Home work, chores....Ughh...Such is life...
Birthday Party!
Rhea is 3!! Yipee!!
She wanted a Dora party so i went all out. we had it at lifetiome fitness...we were also thrilled that Elisha was here all the way from sydney to join in the fun.
Maybe since we had people from the other end of the world...there was such a poor turnover from her class...but the important thing is Rhea had a blast and that made us all happy!
I made her a dora birthday cake.
Happy 3rd birthday my princess!!!

Family Time
This week pavi and fly came to visit us...it was a short visit and since this was their first pit stop...they were tired and jetlagged. By the time it was ready to go Elisha was her ususal self...but fun was had by all ...the kids got to bond with their cousin.
Praveen got to meet his tennis mate from 10 years ago. Sunita's daughter and Sean go Tennis class together.
he also met another friend of his...only his nickname comes to mind and i dont think i want to refer to him by that :)

TEAM WORK
Last week we enjoyed some good weather and the kids ventured out to play on the deck. And as always they started fighting over the same bike even there are 2 other options they could choose. But after a feww minutes of push, pull, cry (wwhich i stayed away from ) i heard laughter. i was curious how moods can change so fast. But as i peeked out the kitchen window this is what i saw. And it brought the biggest smile on my face.
After all the fighting they figured out that they could ride the bike together and have more fun than their solo rides!
That's what I call TEAM WORK!
If only they would use the strategy more often..

Rhea is 3 !!
Our Tweety pie is 3! Wow, how fast time flies!
So today morning we wished Happy Birthday and the first question she asks - Where's my gift! I guess by now she has gone to enough birthdays to understand the relation between birthdays and gifts.
I'm so glad i picked up her gift the previous evening. So we gave her the doll house which was of course still in the box. She was beyond excited!! She kept saying 'my present!, my present!' and wanted to open it right away. We were able to distract her with her new dress and she was ready in no time raring to go to school to share her birthday with her friends.
Rhea with her doll house - All SMILES!
I had made pretty flower cup cakes for her to take to school.
Flower Cupcakes
That evening after we got back from school, i worked on icing the chocolate cake while the TV babysat the kids. Daddy got back only around 8:30 but both of them waited patiently. We cut the cake after dinner and they both enjoyed a big hunk of the chocolate cake!
Rhea had her 3 year Dr appt early in the week. She is still a peanut but is followwing her growth chart and has it all the milestones for her age. She told the dr, colors and shapes in spanish (and i was wondering why she said circulo instead of circle. Thank god Dr Howell knowws spanish!) So no shots this time and she is at the 8 percentile for weight and 44 percentile for height. I know she is petite but i'd rather have her lean and tall than be on the other end of the spectrum. i've een there and would not wish that hell for anyone..
Rhea, i have a special message for you...i will post that here soon ..

Slumdog wins the Oscar!
And what a sweep it was!!
I knew it would win for music and I was planning to make some dessert to celebrate but I fell sick that day and watched the historic moment on the couch barely keeping my eyes open as I was sedated with Sudafed. So fast forward a week and half later - I returned to the world of the living and decided to still make that dessert honouring SM.
I made the chocolate cup filled with vanilla pudding and a dash of cocoa powder.
So let me explain the inspiration behind this mouth watering yumminess of a dessert(if i may say so myself) - the chocolate cup and the cocoa powder is reminiscent of the slums, the dirt, the poverty and everything sad. The yellow vanilla pudding represents all the glory, it reminded me of the golden oscar statue and everything good about the movie, the triumph of the human spirit, the riches the pratogonist in the movie acheives by winning the love of his life and becoming a millionaire!!
So whether you like it or not - this is my culinary interpretation of the amazing movie - SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE.
