Pool Time!!

Last weekend we pulled out the kiddie pool! The kiddos had a lot of fun!! (and I think it's time to pull out our bigger pool! :) haha!)

I couldn't find Diya's swimsuit, so this one is a little small :) (I've found it since then) :) Diya LOVED the pool! She would have played all day!!!

Aashini lost interest in the pool after a while... but Diya kept on playing :) (although Aashini did have fun for a long time squirting her water gun from the balcony :) haha! They had fun :)

A Diya Post :)

Diya is a funny crazy kid! She's grown so much in the last month it's crazy!! She has 4 teeth on the bottom (two front middle teeth and 2 molars!) and 6 on the top (4 front middle and 2 molars) and has one coming in right now :)

We were at McDonald's the other day and this family was playing with Diya. She wouldn't let them give her any fries though - she kept making this face :) haha!

Diya LOVES ice cream :)

Diya is really great at eating with a spoon now. She LOVES eating with a spoon! She likes to eat cereal in the morning and just about anything we give her she will eat if it's in a bowl with a spoon :) haha! Here she is eating some chili :)

Diya LOVES crayons! Her attention span with coloring isn't very long, but she loves to color a little here and there and LOVES to carry crayons around (which we don't let her do because then she marks on everything!). It's hard to keep the crayons away from her!

Diya is a sweet funny little girl :)

Catching Up - Aashini :)

I know I've been horribly behind on blogging... time has been quite limited lately :) Anyway, here is a blog post of some Aashini pictures over the last month :) Aashini loves the Backyardigans. They have one show where they are cowboys and Aashini loves it! There was some guy selling cowboy hats on the street the other day (at the traffic light) so we had to get one for her... she LOVED it! Here she is with her hat and stick horse :)

Here she is with her hat and lasso (jump rope) :)

Aashini loves the metro. This is an old picture (about a month old - Aashini has grown TONS since then!).

Here's a more recent pic on the metro (and yes, Aashini has a "princess wand" in her hand :) haha!)

Aashini likes to pose for pictures (sometimes) now :) haha! Awesome ;)

This picture cracks me up :) Aashini got a HUGE sticker this morning and it covered her whole hand :)

Here's Aashini at a play place. She loves the princess castle - it's her favorite one to play in :)

Aashini loves dress-up :)

This picture cracks me up :) Love it! :)

First Day of the School Year!!!

About a week and a half ago we started the new school year here!! The school schedule here is totally different from the school schedule in the US! The school year starts in April and then they let out for summer break in May & June and start back up in July.

Anyway, Aashini started Nursery this year!! She is at the same school she was before, just a different branch. This year for Nursery, she has a school uniform - so cute :) Diya wanted in on the "first day of school pictures" :) (I love how she's trying to pose like Aashini in this picture) :)

I think Aashini looks so big in this picture!!!

My girls!! :)

This is Aashini's new school! The picture isn't great (taken from a moving car) but you can see her school! She calls it her Princess Castle School :) It's right next to the metro (you can sort of see it in the top left corner of the picture). It's SUPER close to our house - we can walk to it!!!

Her school has a fun playground and a roller skating rink :)

The first day of school was only for the new kids. Diya got to come too :) They have a basement room that is HUGE and has a big indoor play area (they have an outdoor one too), ball pit, play houses, puzzles, games, etc! Diya had fun :)

The parents were supposed stay with the kids for the first day of school (it was a mini-day of school). Here's their lunch time (the 10:30 lunch time :)). They just had a simple meal this day (pakoras).

Here's the fun ball pit!!! It has a cool slide into it :)

Aashini love it :) It's such a fun new school! She's so big!!!!

Whoo hoo!!!

End of the School Year!

The school year has ended here. Monday starts a whole new school year (we're on a different schedule here than America :)). Aashini has just "graduated" from Pre-Nursery and will start Nursery next week! Here's her Pre-Nursery class :)

The school's website has some pictures from the school year - here's a few of them :) I love this picture below :)

This is a picture from Independence Day. On the right is Aman. At the beginning of the year Aashini always complained about him, he was a bit of a bully and was always picking on her. By the end of the year they were super good friends! They loved playing together! It's pretty funny :)

This is a picture is from a water day they had. They have a kiddie pool at the school and all the kids were playing in it :) I love this pic :)

Aashini playing in the ball pit :)

Aashini with her teacher Jaspreet. She LOVES her and really misses her! Jaspreet misses her too - she's already called Aashini to say hey - cute :)

Aashini at the Fancy Dress Speaking Competition.

It has been a fun school year!! We'll see what next year has to hold!!! It should be fun :) Her new school looks like a big castle!! Awesome! :)

HOLI!

I don't have internet yet (hopefully tomorrow!) so I can only post a couple of pictures (posted via my phone)... We had quite the eventful Holi this year! Adam had typhoid (and didn't know it) and wanted to go out and play anyway, and then he passed out - We did get to meet a lot of neighbors that way though :) haha!

Aashini REALLY loved Holi this year!! She had so much fun - she would have played all day!!! Diya didn't like it at all! This is the only picture I got of Diya :)

Here's Aashini :) She LOVED it!!! :)

A Diya Post :)

Diya seems to be growing so fast! She's been slow to get her teeth but that hasn't stopped her from eating everything!!! She has 3 teeth and has been grumpy the last few days... and then Monday night I saw something in her mouth and reached in a felt that she had 2 upper molars!!!!!!!!! The girl has 2 bottom teeth and one top tooth and now she has two upper molars! haha! I don't remember that being the order they were supposed to come in - haha!

Anyway, here's Diya eating corn on the cob! Too funny :) She loved it!

Here's a super crooked pic of Diya playing on our new porch :)

This is before we moved, but this was Diya's first day to discover that she loved tea parties :)

She's a sweet little goofball :)

Sisters :)

I just wanted to post this picture :) They're so happy :) I love it :)

Tea Party!

In case you were wondering why I haven't posted much lately, we've moved! We don't have internet at our new house yet, so I'm at a coffee shop right now.

Anyway, the other day I walked into the living room and I see this:

My girls sitting together having a tea party! It was adorable!!!

I love that they're getting old enough to play together now! So cute!!!

Playing!

Here are a couple of pictures of Aashini from today on the playground :) She cracks me up! I love the look on her face in this picture :)

The look on her face here cracks me up too! haha! She's a funny girl :)
