"I'm broke Daddy"

I got this yesterday when mentioning to the princess that we had to head back to the house to pick up some money for groceries.

Pagwah Songs

Thanks to our Uncle Noel we were busy playing Pagwah from an early hour yesterday. No pics I'm afraid due to battery constraints. He got us with the pink powder but took a full bucket of water broadside.

A few song lyrics that we have heard recently (all of course sung very nearly in tune):

"Rock-a-by daddy on the tree top"

"Old McDonald had a brush"

"The 'J' says dress". (Kinda makes sense when u sound it out)

Phonics, with very little prompting, have become the latest craze as u can tell.

Happy Mashramani.

Celebrated the forty second Republic Day anniversary in the city this year due to an emergency trip seen here.

Star Spangled

Visiting uncle Oliver's house for the SB turned into a surprise impromptu audition for cutest snapshot of the month. Not sure where she found that mic just in time to upstage what's-her-name singing the national anthem. It does look a little like a number 12 there in the background doesn't it .... about to be seriously upstaged for a sumptuous second time. What a lovely rematch it was to the greatest bigGame of all time.

Happy (Chinese) New Year

Celebrating at the national park with cotton candy of course. Funny how this rediscovery of one's childhood thing works.

Football Fan

Today has the potential to go down as one of the greatest days in footballing (and futbol-ing) history.

Go Giants. Go Ravens. Go Tottenham. Go Arsenal.

North London over Manchester all day baby.

H.N.Y. Twenty Twelve.

New Year greeting go out to all of our friends and family. We love and appreciate all of you and wish the very best. May the twenty ninth of February find your resolutions intact and your outlook rosy for twenty twelve.

The Grumpy Santa

This encounter at the City Mall started out with some doubts, a really bad beard and a Santa attitude to Match. It ended in tears but not before she received a curvatious doll which featured delightful snap-on body parts. Lesson of the day: Keep smiling. Even when someone totally takes your head off.

Sari time.

Special New Year greetings to all our family and friends. All the very best for 2012.

Boxing Day Smiles.

Wow. Holiday joy.

This is slide execution number 476 or thereabouts. An instant hit and almost too fast with those slippery pants. Sticking a cushion under the latter end has so far preempted all of the sprained ankles.

A swing, ball and hoop with net complete the installation. 'Horse' for some reason has all of a sudden become the number one competitive sport in the household; and so far only two picture frames have been the price of some great entertainment.

Christmas secrets

What in santa's name could that be?
