Halloween Obsession Going Strong...Third Consecutive Year

A very unassuming friendly gentleman at the store, to Manya: "Aren't you a lovely little girl there!"

Manya: "Yes, I do look like a lovely little girl, but actually I am a vampire. I suck human blood."

That speechless-horrified expression on the man's face for the one moment was priceless. I ofcourse chimed in, "It clearly is Halloween time!"
He gave a quick smile and retreated into oblivion.

First day of Pre-K

It has been a good summer. Manya has got to spend time with her grandparents. Vish's parents were here. Easy warm days with matial arts and swimming as the only set activities. We did a lot of berry picking, and the regular touristy stuff taking the grandparents around Portland. 

School year is finally here and Manya has one more year to go at her preschool. They call it Pre-K but it's just fun mostly! Have a great year sweetheart!

Spinning the fairy tales...

While reading The Princess and the Frog...
Me: Manya, would you kiss a frog?
Manya: ofcourse!
Me (highly amused): why, because he'd be a prince?
Manya (in a very no nonsense voice): It doesn't matter whether he is a prince or a normal person, rich or poor, will marry me or not, it is about uncursing him. I would kiss anybody or anything if it helped them.
Me: (still searching for that halo around her head 😊)
