Almost Shabbat

Really quickly, because it is almost Shabbat, we had a nice day today.  The kids went to school and I colored with Ben a little bit and played games with him in school before leaving him.  I was soooo nervous about this Parsha thing that he had to do!  I must have made him nuts about it.  In the end, when I picked him up, his teacher said he was amazing!!  She said he did an awesome job!!  So exciting!  I was so proud of him.  She also liked the props that we made. YAY BEN!  First project and he did a great job.

Eric was gone the whole morning.  After a long night volunteering for Mishmar Ezrachi and doing multiple drug busts (!!) he came home at 4 AM and then woke up early to take care of mortgage/paying for our land stuff.  He left around 9 and didn’t come home until 1 and he wasn’t finished with everything he had to do. Luckily for us, he is able to do some of the things on Sunday, and we were able to find time to go to the pool.

So the afternoon was spent at the pool from about 2:30-5.  We had a nice time there and the kids, once again, had pleanty of friends to play with so they were happy.

We came home and got ready for Shabbat and the kids are currently watching a movie with this kid and his madrich that came to spend Shabbat here for a Shabbaton.  We are hosting them and they are eating with us tomorrow for lunch.  The boy is 11 years old and in a wheelchair and the madrich seems like a nice guy.  They only speak Hebrew so tomorrow should be an interesting day!

Fifteen minutes left until Shabbat so I’ll end this now.
