I grew up in a hill station and we saw temperatures fall every winter and enjoyed our snow season utterly. Before our big move Kalyan would always say that the winters are bad in Canberra and I would go  "Relax baby I am a mountain girl I am pretty sure I will love the winters" only until I happen to live just the two months and it's not even the onset of the season yet.... The winds are absolutely crazy here... It would be nice and sunny and so tempting to put a chair outside and relax but the wind would creep inside your skin and freeze your bones... 

Anyways!! having said that,we decided to setup something interesting indoors for the winter days... Trust me you need all this paraphernalia when you putting up with a toddler...unless you want to be switching the dishwasher button off for the 20th time..or if you want to watch all your folded laundry being unfolded, piece by piece on the floor ( It's a longer list than you can imagine). I am glad that daddy came on board with setting up this playroom  and we are so enjoying it ( all three of us)  .... Now someone has correctly said " My childhood may be over, but that doesn't mean playtime is" Ron Oslon. 

The Barbeque is still her fave and while I am cooking in the kitchen she says " Mommy can I make you a chicken burger and broccoli" and when she is done making it she asks me " Four dollars please" but raises only two fingers ... marketing tactics  :)  

And the cooking is sassed up too much drama and entertainment!! 

The Master chef is running on TV these days and we follow it sometimes , so when this girl is done cooking she sits with her pretend food and ketchup and goes" I am Master chef mommy" ( now that's daddy's Genes talking) 

And look who visited us .... they had a great time playing but most of it was about educating Mahi.. 

Life is good and only getting better!! Signing off :)
