Shabbat flew by.  One minute we were lighting candles and the next we were making havdallah.  Basically, we went to shul, came home and played some ball, ate lunch and then the adults and Keren took naps while Talia and Ben played outside with friends.  When we woke up we didn’t know where Ben was.  It turned out that he went to Eitan’s house b/c Talia went to her friend’s house.  The problem was that we didn’t know!!  Eric and I decided that is where he must have gone so Eric walked there before maariv, found him and told him to come home.  Eric told me that he told Ben that he has to tell us where he is going and he said that Eric always tells him not to wake him up when he is sleeping so he didn’t want to wake Eric up!  Too funny!!

Last night Eric and I went out to eat in Yerushalayim while Lois babysat for the kids.  We went out for sushi and then we were still hungry so we went to another restaurant and ate some more!

Today I took Eric to the airport while the kids were in school and Keren was at the park with Lois.  He is gone for 10 days this time, a long one!  I have to figure out what I am going to do for Shabbat this time around.  I can’t go to my grandparents b/c my grandmother has her meals with my grandfather in the hospital and it’s too far to take the kids.  I will probably wind up staying home and eating meals out.

We took the kids to the candy store so they could each pick out some candy.  I thought that they had enough candy here b/c of purim but Lois wanted to treat them.  We went to the park after that in Modiin, one of the ones that we haven’t been to in a while.  It was a beautiful day today and we enjoyed being outside.

When we came home Talia went straight to another birthday party and the 5th grade girls came to play with Keren and Ben.  They are getting used to them now so it’s great for me.  I was able to make dinner and go get my stitches taken out and all sorts of fun things that moms get to do while their kids are being entertained by someone else.

The kids are asleep now and Lois took the car to the mall. We were afraid she would get lost so I called Jere to see if she wanted to tag along and she said yes.  So the two of them are at the mall together now and I am going to head to sleep soon.  I am not sure if I should stay awake until she comes home though…
