Funny children

As if it’s not enough that Keren is the spitting image of Eric’s mother and is the first of the kids to really not look at all like me, now she has started acting like her too!!  Eric took her for a walk yesterday and when he looked down she had her head turned up to the sun and her eyes closed and she fell asleep like that!  Most kids turn away from the sun when it’s in their eyes, this kid turns to the sun and basks in it!! 

So today the kids walked to school themselves.  Eric got up with them and was the one to send them off.  I just couldn’t drag myself out of bed this morning.

This morning was spent doing a couple of loads of laundry.  Talia was on my case that she didn’t have any clothes left so I had to take care of that!  Keren and I did the laundry and hung out while Eric went and took care of some errands, including the bakery (it’s been a while), buying flowers for the people we are eating at tomorrow and taking care of installing a new car alarm.  All I had left in terms of Shabbat cooking was the rice and defrosting the chicken that I had made a couple of weeks ago.  So I did that too.  It is going to be a really simple meal here tonight but I don’t think anyone will mind since Keren woke the whole house up at 6 this morning.

He came home and then Talia came home shortly thereafter.  She hung out for a bit, washed the kitchen floor for me and had some bourekas for lunch. Then Ben came home and Keren went in for a nap, Eric went to buy strawberries for Ben’s Tu B’Shvat mesiba on Sunday and I took the kids to the park next door so they could ride their bikes on the little path that’s there.  When Keren woke up we all just hung out in the park on the grass and enoyed the weather.  I think it’s supposed to get cooler tomorrow and then who knows.  So we hung out for a bit and enjoyed.

Meanwhile, as I write this, the kids are downstairs playing and Eric is resting and Keren just made her way into his office and started to fax someone and a million blank pages started shooting out of the machine.  Eric came in and yelled at me and threw her out of his office.  She is such a trouble maker.  She is hysterical. 

Shabbat Shalom!
