In pursuit of friends- a birthday party

We are just returning from our first ever birthday party in Philly. The kids were super excited since yesterday as it has been a while that we have been to one.. The last one being their very own which was an evening before everything had to go in the moving truck. It was just a last minute thing as the galz wanted to celebrate it with their frens, specifically chinipie. Coming back to tonight's party, sugar had skipped her afternoon nap, inspire of all our efforts. undoubtedly, she was super cranky by the time we started to get ready. Then chini got herself hurt on her toe..so it was a challenge with one following the suit of other in crying.


The party was good, the hosts were a sweet couple and the birthday girl who turned one last week was a very happy child... Touchwood! As for my kids, chini engaged sugar in a balloon game as soon as we reached there n after the cake was cut sugar fell asleep in dad's lap. Chinipie missed playing with her little sis for a while but then got busy with a coloring game on my phone(thank goodness for the smartphones). She finished the cake by herself and was rather proud of it!!






Highlights of the day - when I was trying to push lunch inside her, i tried to bribe her saying if you finish it, we will go somewhere in the evening. Pat came here reply, "I know. We are going to a baby's birthday party. She is turning one!"


Sugar will you sing a birthday song for the baby. " um ummm.." meaning a big NO... Don't even expect such things from me!!






Had forgotten to add another pinkalicious episode of the evening... Even though chinipie had calmed down after hurting her toe, the poor girl was still in pain... And started jumping up and down crying "aaauuiii aaauuuiii aaauuuiii" . Sugar looked at her sister and thinking this as a new fun game, joined her... Jumping up and down and laughing... " aaauuuuiii aaauuuiii aaauuuuiii". Soon we all joined in amidst roar of laughter! Isn't it amazing how easily the can turn pain to laughter!
