So Busy

Since I'm nearly two months behind in blogging (I've been insanely busy at work!), I will be posting updates in the next few days before our new family addition joins us!!!

Workin' at the Carwash

Today we went for car wash at this cute place in Paramus- which was so much fun for Sara. She had so much fun spraying water on our car. Sara was thrilled to be Daddy's helper in this task. She was a super squealy happy girl who kept saying, "Mom- look I am washing our NEW car." She would run to the next hose as soon the previous one won't reach our car. She was so happy! (No pictures since my previous iPhone is not working and I have no recent back-up.)

Zarkana

Today we went to NYC to watch the Cirque Du Soleil show - Zarkana. We got excellent seats and the mood was set from the moment we walked into the Radio City Music Hall.

While we got the tickets for the show at decent price, we did not find parking and paid $51 for 3 hours. Below are Sara's pic before the show:

Rice Krispie Snack

One of the lesson theme at Sara's school this month is 'Manners'. Today, we made these fun heart lollipops for snack to teach Sara sharing with friends.

She was so cute helping me make these fun snacks!

Coconut-Chocolate!

Its time for another Sweet Punch! I guess with this pregnancy I am going nuts eating sweets!!

Today we made coconut ladoos with chocolate coating - Thanks Binny for sharing this so easy recipe! It turned out great!!

Sara's First Ballet Class!

Yesterday was Sara's first ballet class and I think I was more excited than she was! We got her dressed in her little ballet outfit and headed out. She looked so stinkin cute :) I might be biased, but that's alright. She is in a class with about 10 more girls (including Sanaah) and was pretty shy and nervous at first but warmed up by the end!

While I wanted to stay and watch (totally wanted to break all those rules about being that mom that won't leave the room and takes a gazillion pictures...), I didn't. Instead, just took couple of pics before the class started.

She later on had fun showing us some of the things they did and "teaching" me how to do ballet. On a side note (just one of those things for me to remember while I am thinking about it.) Sara loves to dress up in her ballet outfit. When we are around, she wants music on and comes running to us and says "Daddy/Mommy, "Come on!" "Dance with me!" I love it when she says it. It melts me heart :)

Philadelphia Here we Come!!!

We all drove to Philadelphia after the fun evening and checked in our hotel at about 6 PM. The location of the property was perfect and of course the hotel was absolutely beautiful and historical.

Next morning, after breakfast we went for city tour. (I wish I had no migraines....would have enjoyed a lot!!!). Since I was not feeling good, we left for home after 1 PM.

Weekend in (Dutch) Wonderland: Arrival/Day 1

We got on the road soon after breakfast for ~3 hour drive to Lancaster. We met Matta's and decided to go have fun. Sara was so excited to see her buddies. 

After the sky ride, we drove the old time cars on rails. I rode with Sara. Vishal tried to get a picture, but Sara and I took off along the "speedway." 

After the frog show, Nikki and Sara rode this ride together. SO cute! They both like bees and this ride was nice and slow. Sara was thrilled to have Nikki right next to her. We stayed until 4:30 PM ...watched the frog show and said goodnight to the Duke Dragon character and the DW princess.

I meant to take a few more of these cut-out picts, but the kids weren't really feelin' it. This one is cute though. :)

Some other fun picts of the day:

Labor Day

There wasn't much laboring going on today...but isn't that what this day is for? We went peach picking this morning with Parekh's and Sanghavi's. Yumm, yumm! Sara was a good little worker, but didn't snack nearly as much as she did on our previous trips to Alstede farm. We all had a blast too!

100 Days To Go!!!

They say the average pregnancy is between 266 and 280 days. As of today, we have 100 days left until our original due date of December 11, 2011. As we all know that very rarely are due dates actually met. But nonetheless, a milestone is reached. whoo hoo! It really does seem as if these past few weeks have flown by. I still remember eagerly awaiting the first doctor's appointment, then the next to hear the heartbeat, then the sonogram, then to feel the kicks. I cannot say that I am eagerly awaiting labor and delivery though- lol!
