Yesterday when the kids came home from school Eric took them out for ice cream to a sort of new ice cream store nearby in Matityahu.  I was supposed to be resting but Keren woke up from her nap and instead of resting I wound up playing with her.  When they came home Ben’s friend Matan came over while they were in the middle of the movie Aladdin.  They all played nicely and then took showers and went to sleep.  An ordinary day.

Today Eric and I went into Yerushalayim to the shuk with Keren.  We took someone who needed a tramp and Keren couldn’t take her eyes off of her.  In fact, it wasn’t until she left the car that Keren finally fell asleep.  By that time we were already in Yerushalayim!  It turned out to be a good thing b/c she was so out of it that we were able to transfer her into her stroller and she slept the whole time we were in the shuk and only woke up after we were already on Ben Yehudah Street.  After the shuk we stopped at Cafe Rimon where I had yummy yummy waffles with whipped cream and ice cream!!!

This afternoon we went to my grandparents’ apartment and met my cousins and we all went out for pizza for dinner.  It was really nice BUT there is an eye infection going around in my family and I am scared to death that my kids are going to get it also while we are in the States and we won’t be able to go to a doctor there!  It started with Avi and Miriam’s 6 month old and then went to each of them, their babysitter and now Shelly has it too.  The problem with Shelly having it is that she plays with my kids.  So I was kind of crazy in the pizza store and now I am really worried that we are having them over for a BBQ on Sunday as a kind of going away party and I am scared that she is going to give it to my kids!!!  I wish I never suggested this BBQ!!

Anyway, we got home late and the kids went right to sleep.  Tomorrow it’s off to the pool after school.  I can’t believe another week is almost over!
