Aaji sent special Diwali gift

This year our Diwali has already started since Aaji sent us lots of things that too one week before. 

When we opened door to get the parcel, Jai immediately went to take scissors and opened it. He didn't eat dinner and ate faral. Both were happy to get the special gift.

Last year we didn't do pumpkin carving so Ram was excited to get the pumpkin and carve by himself. Jai was excited since dada was excited.

Monopoly fun

On Sunday Ram and Jai declared that they will play monopoly with me since Shri was busy. Jai and Ram did great job. We played almost for 3-4 hrs in pieces. It was super fun. Ram had lot of money and bought expensive things strategically and Jai bought lot of things and still had enough money. I was the loser who had loan from bank 😄

My 4th grader

Ram is happy about his new school and learning a lot of new things. Lot of activities to keep track and do it. The school has great infrastructure and exposure is very good too. He has music and chorus, also learning new languages Spanish and Chinese. Lot of homework and reading. Lot of changes in 4th grade.

My sweetie pie holding is book and  music instrument (trumpet).

Last year school had orientation to choose an instrument to play. School has band and it starts at 4th grade level. He chose Trumpet. Last year he was supposed to in PR Smith School but he got admission in Magnet School so he is going to International Magnet School, an IB school.

The music lesson started last week and this is progress at the end of first week :)
