Late night

This morning I took the kids to school and then Keren and I did some shopping.  We were out of the basics after last week and needed to replenish.  Keren loves shopping with me and we had fun.  The woman at the cash register didn’t ask me for my ID when I paid b/c she said she recognized Keren from the other times.  It was cute.  At the end she gave me a thing to fill out for some kind of drawing.  I had no clue what it was for but I filled out the info and put it into a box.  We’ll see…

Keren and I hung out mostly at home today playing outside and coloring and stuff like that.  I polished her nails a hot pink color.  It was the first time and she was ecstatic about it.  She wanted me to polish her entire finger, though, and I had to explain to her that we don’t do that and then go so far as to hide the polish b/c she was so sad!

The kids came home this afternoon and we kind of had a lazy day.  Ben watched some TV while I did some homework with Talia and then I took them all outside to play ball.   Talia enjoyed playing hit the penny with me but we used 10 agarot instead of a penny!  She loved the game (basically throwing a ball at a penny and trying to hit it).

At 4 the girls came over to play with the kids.  The one that I think does the best job wasn’t here and I was disappointed.  I didn’t feel like they really played with them so well.  I had also hoped that they would take Ben and Keren to the park while I had this late night at Talia’s school to go to but they said they had to be at an activity today and they couldn’t watch them. 

So at 4 I went into a full panic about what I was going to do with Keren and Ben while I was in school with Talia. After a couple of calls I found my friend’s son was willing to play with them and watch them in the park.  I thought that was the best idea for someone that they didn’t know b/c they love playing at the park.  I wasn’t concerned about Ben, it was more that I was worried that Keren would be upset.  In the end it worked out beautifully!!  After the park he took them to a bball game that was being played and when they came to meet me he was carrying Keren in his arms and pushing the stroller with the other hand!

Talia’s late night at school was adorable.  We were seated at a table with 4 other girls and we had to read a story about an egg who wanted to be something other than an egg and then we had to make eggs and give them costumes and dress them up as other things.  It was cute and the girls had a good time with it.  Then we ate and went home.

The unfortunate part of the evening was that at 7:30 when we got home everyone was hungry and I had nothing to feed them all!!  I popped hot dogs into the microwave and fed them and had them in bed by 8.  Long day!
