Yesterday was a whopping 93 degrees, that’s the temperature that our car registered. It was HOT. Ben walks out of the house every morning and tells me that it’s just like Florida. I wonder when he’ll stop and realize that it’s just like Israel!!

Eric woke up early with the kids b/c I couldn’t move after the night of dancing the night before. He got the kids out to school and then he went to ulpan and I got my tuchus out of bed just in time to make it to playgroup. Keren had a pretty good time. I think I enjoy playgroup more than she does…

We got home at 10:30 and I gave Keren something to eat and before I knew it Ben was dropped off at 11 b/c his day was over! He had a short day yesterday b/c last night he had his party for finishing בראשית . Ben and I snuggled on the couch and watched a movie while Keren slept and Eric ran out to get some groceries.

We picked Talia up from school and went to eat some falaffel for lunch. Then the kids did the usual rounds of English chug. Talia could not learn how to spell the words for her spelling test no matter how many times we went over them. Instead of her usual 100 she got 2/6 right! I knew she wasn’t going to get it. They were words like – What, When, Where. She just couldn’t get it. Oh well.

The kids played outside the rest of the afternoon and Eric finally threw out the pieces of the shed. We sure did not get our money out of that purchase!! We never followed up to the company when they told us they would sell replacement parts and now it’s too late. Anyway, we play on building a real shed that will sit outside our new house in Even Shmuel, so we won’t have a need for this one. Now the front of our house is nice and clean and so is the back. I also cleaned up all of the toys in the back. Spring cleaning in 90 degree weather in February. Crazy!

At 6 we took the kids over to the shul to watch Ben in action. He was adorable. As usual, the thing went way too long and the kids were tired and hungry and forced to perform song after song! I enjoyed it. I love those things. I’ll have to get Eric to put some video (there is tons of it!) on line and I’ll add a link another time. Meanwhile, here are some stills:
