Following an entire week off from school, the kids (and therefore, us parents, too,) had a pretty normal week.
This past Shabbos was interesting. Tzvi and Sara Nechama went to their Bubby and Zaidy's house for Shabbos to keep them company. The rest of us stayed home. On Friday night, Shifra was in bed during the meal, so Yanky pretty much got all of the attention he could desire from us, and then some. But come Shabbos afternoon, Yanky was bored. He and Shifra repeatedly requested to be walked to visit Tzvi and Sara at Bubby's house. Yosef and I were not interested in making the trek. Partly because it's a long walk, it was cold outside, the sidewalks are still covered in snow, and because Chaife was staying at Shmuly and Avital's and had said she might walk over to visit. Sure enough, Chaife showed up during the afternoon and saved the day! She read to Yanky and then played games. Shmuly, Avital, and Ahuva also came over to visit and joined in a game of Whoonu (well, Shmuly and Avital played, not Ahuva) with Chaife and Yanky.
Sunday, after the boys got home from school, we went to a hachnosos sefer torah for Rabbi Weiss's shul.

Yesterday Yosef went to the boys' school's banquet, so we didn't see much of him. Tonight Yosef had citizen's patrol, so we again didn't see him much. And they are calling for more snow here starting in the middle of the night tonight and lasting most of the day tomorrow.
We are getting ready for Purim -- baking hamentashen, buying supplies, and starting to cook for the seuda. Costumes are ready, and we have a random assortment. Penguin for Hadassah, Tigger for Shifra, baker for Sara, and the boys will be police men again.
Oh, and this past Tues. night/Wed. day were our 10th anniversary as per the Jewish calendar. Imagine that!
not random.
ReplyDeletecongrats on ur 10th ! 110 to go !
Mazal Tov on ten years! What do your policemen costumes look like? Any pics? Shalom wants to be one for Purim. I have one that I borrowed but I want to spruce it up a bit.
ReplyDeleteat first glance at that pic, i was thinking, why is lisa posting a random pic of some dude in a brown hat? then i realized it was yosef - and it was the light reflecting on his hat (i think...maybe his hat is just really old)
ReplyDeleteMendy, what's not random about them? And where's the source for a marriage lasting 120 years?

The first picture in the Spring 2009 folder shows Tzvi in the costume. The password is grebnesi.
Shira, you're right -- it's not brown. But that was a funny observation. I hadn't noticed.
Shira, I also didn't realize it was Yosef! I was also thinking-- ok so Lisa is posting a picture of some man writing a letter in the Torah to provide a visual for her blog...
