Random Update..

I have been quiet for sometime...well not quiet really just awfully busy!!! highlights of what happened..

Onam
We celebrated a South Indian harvest festival in september. Infact we celebrated it 3 times. jeez. One i cooked up a whole feast at home on the day and at the last moment 2 of our friends dropped in and we had a great time. Two we were invited to our friends place. And Three all of us friends had one and it was such a blast.

LadiesNightOut
Last weekend of September, we girls decided to go and let our hair lose. And boy o boy was it worth it. Surprisingly the guys didnt want us to come back early. So we walked around the harbour and Rocks. Went for dinner to Pancakes on the Rocks and after an overstuffed meal we walked around somemore. It was such a deserved timeout and this will be the first of many more ladiestimeout.. :)

Weekend at PortMacquarie.
This weekend, we all took a day off and left on our annual vacation on Friday to PortMacquarie. about 6 hours drive from sydney. It was not relaxing as such since there were 9 kids to look after. But it was a good get away. The men were drunk and in the pool..the ladies were hanging out in the lounge gosspping and chatting away while watching the kids..and the kids were being kids having an absolute ball of a time. By Gods grace there was no fights, no problems, no arguments. Everything was great..

Annie coming back
what??? yes madam annie wants to see elisha soooo badly that she is coming in tonight. She left early june and its end of october and shes back..ofcourse her coming is always welcome..and this year is going to end on a better note :)

Miss.Attitude..

Last saturday we were at our friends place. They have a 6 year old son and a daughter who is 10days elder than Elisha.

While all the adults were in the lounge just chilling out the kids were at the back playing. There was a tricycle and a scooty[one you push with your feet]

Mary and me were on kids duty so we were at the back just overseeing what was happening. Elisha was sitting on the scooter, while her girlfriends were just sitting down. One of the boys were on the tricycle and the 6yr old boy wanted the scooter elisha was on. He was arguing with her asking her to get up coz you dont sit on the scooter.

Elisha [all of 14mths] just had this look on her face and was looking at this boy. after 2 minutes of him pleading, she said "addiuooooo poooddooooiiiii" [i am guessing thats her language for "here take it you baby and shove it up your A$$"] and walked off. Much to the 6yr olds amusement who had this wierd look. Mary and me were in splits.

The rest of the time she didnt go and sit on the scooter. mmmmm Whereeee did she get this attitude. Oh my god. Elisha is one going on 21 i think. I am sure theres soooo much more going to come our way. Just hope we can handle it.
