Rangoli!

As part of our Diwali celebration; I had high hopes of Ishaan and Amaani of doing some Rangoli on a plate so we we could keep it in the home for a few days. I've seen them at some of our relatives homes and they are so pretty and festive!

Since Amaani wasn't feeling well, I decided that Ishu and I could work on it during her nap. We started out inside.... 

But quickly moved out to the front porch as it seemed like it was going to get a bit messy.

Pretty soon Ishu's hand and feet were a beautiful mix of blue and purple. He did understand that we were trying to make a picture on the ground; but didn't quite understand why we couldn't sit on top of it after we were done.

Amaani joined us just in time to make make a big mess bigger. Ishu was a little dismayed at her arrival; but they both had a good time rolling around in the on the porch.

Must. Poke. Sister. Cannot Resist.

 After everything this is what we ended up with:

Absolutely beautiful; don't you think?
