This morning Eric went to take the car for an oil change and to get new brakes put in before he takes the car for the inspection it needs while I stayed home with Keren and just hung out.  When I put her to sleep I cleaned up the kitchen from breakfast and then started making some salads for the BBQ we had tonight.  In the end I forgot to serve the cucumber and tomato salad!!   It will work out okay b/c I have to send something in with Talia tomorrow for a healthy end-of-the-year party and that’s what I am going to send in!

I picked Ben up from school and he ate lunch and watched the movie Cars while Talia went across the street to a friend’s house to play.  Keren napped and Eric and I did some vegetable chopping and some prep work for the BBQ.  I took Ben to the makolet to put the plastic bottles into the recycle bin and then to the park for a bit but it was just too hot to hang out there.  Meanwhile, Talia stayed at her friend’s house until I sent Ben there to pick her up close to 6:00.

My family showed up pretty much on time, which was quite the surprise and we had a really nice BBQ.  Eric and I have been working on a slide show of pictures from our year here and it came out really great.  I showed my family and they loved it.  Anyway, the food came out great and everyone enjoyed and they all took home leftovers.    The kids went to sleep close to 9 tonight so I am sure I will be in for a number of melt downs tomorrow from Ben, I am glad he’s going over to Robin’s tomorrow to play with Eitan before karate!
