Boy! AM i glad am blogging!

I never knew that just watching 10 kids run all over the place can make you feel all tired!

I never knew that meeting people whom you know just through their blogs or at times not even that can be so much fun!

I never knew that Cubby would actually love his first taste of mitti (mud)!

I never knew that someone's home apart from being wonderfully warm can have so many toys to keep kids occupied forever with one thing or the other!

I never knew you can go back from a party knowing you have found some new friends for keeps!

I am really bad at doing this minutes of meetings things, which is why I didn't even do a post about the last meet that happened. I am more than happy reading other people talk about it and just leaving a comment! :)

But just like last one this one left me with a big grin on my face and a lovely feeling of having found like minded people at an age where making new friends doesn't come easy! :)

Swati's blog post says it all and much better than I ever could. Except Swati, CoS, Aargee and Poppin's Mom whom I had met last time, everyone was a new place. I was obviously a bit apprehensive since I am fairly new entrant to this lot and not a part of any other online groups that these wonderful women have where they must have to come to know each other so much better.

As M dropped me to PM's place at around 3 o'clock and I entered a room with women who had warm smiles and guess who am I to offer, I felt at ease immediately. There was Tharini, Sue, D and PM already there with their kids having a blast already! Tharini's Winkie and D's l'il girl were getting along famously, while Sue's adorable Babhlet was running around the house. Poppin is so cute with her shy smile that it HAS to be love at first sight! From great bums to lenses to college and wedding stories the conversation flowed pretty easily!

Then akamonica walked in with her 9 month old bundle of masti N! N instantly reminded me of Cubby just three months ago and I was amazed yet again how much kids change every single day, week and month! :)

PM said we will now move the party up to the community hall on the 15th floor. We loaded all the food, toys and ofcos kids and took the elevator up. The community hall which till then looked all clean and serene was suddenly filled with sounds of excited kids and crazy mothers and smelling of yummy food to be had!

I called M saying come as soon as can because Cubby was missing all the fun. COS walked in with her daughter KT who was ready with her smiles and polite hello for one and all! :) Soon, M arrived with Cubby and Swati, her hubby A and Aryan (who is Swati's xerox copy and liked ME! yay!) 'coz they reached around the same time! M did give me a dirty look saying "Why am I in the minority?" I had conveniently forgotten to tell him that not everyone is getting their husband's along! But hey there was A and PM's hubby. And they gave him great company! :D

Cubby as soon as he saw huge open space with coloured balls strewn all over the place and loads of toys and KIDS, he just went crazy! From then on, he didn't even remember he had parents or could feel hungry etc. He was constantly on the move. Throwing a ball and crawling behind it to get it, using the chair as a walker and creating an almost unbearable racket and trying to observe what the older kids were doing! :) Ofcos this didn't stop him from his routine stinky potty and puke programme, but that didn't seem to register with all the fun happening! :)

D gave all the kids bubble maker. I still love making those bubbles. (I know it was for the kids, but Cuby is too small!:p)I did take it home, filled fresh soap water and been bubbling since as Cubby tries to catch the bubbles! :) And I am keeping those crayon's away at the moment! :p

Noodlehead came sans her Bonbon, but with yummy samosas and was sent back to get Bonbon along! God! She is just too darn cute! I LOVED her shoes, Noodle and you can be assured someday they shall get stolen! :D

Food and drinks were served. The chocolate cake was absolutely yummylicious as was everything else!

PM inspite of being almost 35 weeks pregnant was still running around and making sure everyone is comfortable. hats off to you woman! :)

The party moved to the play area where slides and swings kept older kids occupied, while the sand-pit offered unlimited opportunities to dirty themselves to the younger ones! Cubby even managed to eat some and thankfully I managed to pull the bigger pebble out! :p

What was really refreshing was none of the mothers were the overtly fussy kinds who kept following their kids saying don't do this or that or get your hands dirty! :)

M made a game out of Cubby trying to follow D's daughter(who is really pretty and smart), and they had quite a lot of fun doing that as Cubby tried following her and Winkie (a bundle of energy) with his crawl and they ran away from him screaming and laughing! :) Well sadly for M, instead of a regular chick magnet, he is a kid magnet! I have not seen a single child NOT responding to him when he works his magic! Thanx M for being such a good sport!

CoS got l'il return gifts for all the kids and Cubby loved his squeeze me Penguin!

The party then moved back to PM's ghar. She was brave enough to let all the kids run around her gorgeous home! I LOVED Poppin's room, PM!

Good byes were being said as PM, Tharini and Aargee (who came sans her l'il A, we missed him!) efficiently made small bags with extra food to take home. I didn't have to cook that night! Another advantage of the party! :D

As I said bye, I wished I could stay just a l'il bit longer, but I knew that it would never be enough!

Are there really enough of good times?! :)

As we went home, Cubby was constantly babbling and chattering with excitement and refused to sleep even, paying no heed to his pooped parents' heartrending requests!

Can't blame him though, can I? He just had too much fun!

So thanx all you wonderful ladies and the entire baccha company for making it such a special evening for Cubby and ME! :)
