Crazy about Carz 2

We finally took Achu to the movies
His favorite movie.....Cars 2

Back from school Achu had a bath and was having his lunch. He has this habit of running away from food when he is partially full. So I told him " Achu I have a surprise for you after your meal. So go and finish up your meal boy" . The boy rushed, gobbled up his lunch and rushed towards me. He thought it was for a sweet treat.

I whispered into his ears " We got tickets for Cars". He gave out a slight smile and then flared up. Oh! That's his way of emoting happiness. He didn't want to show he was excited and glad. Men start so young at this don't they???;b

The show was at 4.45pm. It was 3.30pm when I broke the news. He started whining that he had to get to the theater immediately....which translates to.... .NOW....the whine went on until I told him to get dressed. Beaming he went and changed and rushed back to us.

We were smothered with wet kisses all over. Appuppa took advantages of the situation and requested for a dozen of kisses and hugs which were planted with professional expertise.

We reached the theater got to our seats and then Achu's gaze was fixed to the screen. The oversized 3D glasses didn't bother him. He was one of them...The CARS....While we joked and ate our hearts out Achu's attention span reached amazing heights..He was quiet annoyed at how distracted we all were!!!!! Excuse me mister what about the role change that happens when you do HW huh?!

I fed him a wee bitta black forest cake and some coffee after the break. Halfway through he did get angry when it was interval time. He kept asking me why they HAVE to have a break....hah!

The movie was top class. I loved it too. Tow Mater stole the show. A lovable character. The story revolves around the fight between sports cars and ordinary cars with a couple of races thrown in at Japan,Paris and London. Excellent animation.

Achu was sad when the movie was over. I have promised to take him once M gets back. Wouldn't mind seeing it once more with some chicken sandwiches, iced tea,popcorn and black forest to go with it ;b

Achu is thrilled to have Cars on his bag ,lunch bag, snack and lunch box and pencil sharpener.The list is bound to increase on our next sessions of shopping.

Planning to get him the first part of Cars on CD.  

What fun this summer - I

Achu and Amma ...our first venture alone outside the state of tamilnadu :)

10.05.10 : Left in the evening to Trivandrum...Amma and Achu...while Acha is off on a work assignment to Jaipur...Achu was good all throughout the flight but did have a slight ear pain while landing....Aji mama, mahesh mama and sunil mama came to the airport in Aji mama's LANCER...(yipeeee!!!!....) and picked the 2 excited souls :)

11.05.10 : Woke up all excited ....Isha was there at Thambi appoopa's place so it was fun...The initial I-don't- know-who-u-r phase gave way to the what-shall-we-play-next phase fast...indira ammooma asked apppoopa to take us to the zoo...it was kinda cloudy so we were expecting rain......by afternoon aji mama, mahesh mama, reshma mami,meenakshi,sunil maman, renjini mami, pichi valliamma, chinnu chechi,sharu chechi, lavanya chechi and meenu came and all of us left to the Trivandrum zoo

It was one well maintained zoo and we feasted our eyes on all the wild beasts...the walk was tiring but since the weather was cool we had fun.....as we approached the exit the clouds gave way to thundering showers preceded by flashlights :)

We drove to Indian coffee house....for some hot coffee and bread omelet...while achu nibbled on some puri...and it poured outside.......

12.05.10 : The mornings was spent at Rajan appoopans place...Achu took over meenakshi kutty's Hummer and enjoyed himself thoroughly since there were so many toys over there..while isha and meenu were busy playing girlie stuff

We went for a Malayalam movie int he evening ..." Happy Husbands"...was a comedy ...Achu wasn't interested so he managed to sit in the seat by having 3 frooti's, one milk shake, one kitkat and some pop corn....yup all that liquid did get us visit the loo just after the intermission (during which I asked him a zillion times...boys!) ...achu did give out a giggle or two at Jayram's mimicry....but he slept through the second half.
Then we headed to Prabha appoopans place where sudha ammooma had prepared yummy dinner of fried rice and chicken curry which only amma whacked while achu slept through until parvathy's wake-up-achu technique succeeded. Binu maman and Deepa mami dropped us back home.

13.05.10 : We spent the whole day at Manu appoopa's house....Ambika Ammooma had prepared the most bestest yummiest super..prawn fry....and pichi valiamma prepared great chicken curry ( she'll kill me if i missed that one :D...)

After lunch we had a quick visit to Mukkola ( our ancestral house)...the pooja room...then to Leela ammooma's house, Thangamani ammoooma's house and then to vasantha ammooma's house...and back to 
Manu appoopa's house

achu and the kids gang had loads of fun....he was the only boy among 4 girls!!!!...the fourth being parvathy who joined the army late in the evening.....Then late in the night we were back home.

14.05.10: The whole day we were pretty lazy..though we planned to go to kovalam...nothing clicked....aji mama was busy at work...so we lazed around until the evening ...then suddenly at 6.00pm a plan was struck...mahesh maman picked up pichi valliamma and the kids and came and we all were on our way to shangumugham beach :):):):):).....chinnu chechi had this impromptu wacko idea while we were driving  to get into the AC bus...and Aji mama cornered a bus and all of us got into the bus :):):)...Achu and Amma loved the trip to the beach....then the next batch went with Aji mama back in the bus to where the car was parked drove back tot he beach since the last shuttle service was at 7.30pm.....Mahesh mama and achu mad a castle....while Lavanya and isha made another castle...Once the whole gang was together again  we had masala peanuts and ice cream....and the kids got a few of those lighted horns

On our way back we packed some great shaverma to have at home ...Dinner was at rajan kochachans place ....barotta and chicken curry....after the filling shaverma...:b

15.05.10: Flew back to chennai....Achu was excited to get back and bought a Amba ( ambassador) car at the airport....ate most of the stuff served but finally puked during landing :( ...this is the first time achu fell sick during the landing...

And so Amma and Achu had a wonderful time in Trivandrum...thanks to all Appoopas, ammoomas, mamas,mamis,valiamma,chehcis and kutties...

We love you all................ummmaaahhhh and hugs
