Sharav, day 2

I don’t know why it’s been so difficult to keep the blog up.  After another break, a short one this time, I am back and ready to go.

Let me see…  Today Talia had a really cool school trip.  They took the kids to the airport where they taught them about planes and things like that.   I didn’t get a whole lot of info from Talia on the airport trip.   Then they took the train to Tel Aviv where they went on a boat.  She had a blast on the train but got seasick on the boat!  Poor kid.  Must have inherited her motion sickness from me.  Then they went to a park where she said the boys threw pine cones at the girls and got into trouble, and then back home.  It was a long trip, from early in the morning until 3.  It was brutal outside today, weather wise, but she had a blast and was in a great mood when she came home.

The day started pretty early for all of us.  Keren woke the kids up at 5:45 am and they brought her up to us.  Eric told them to go back to bed, which they did, but I doubt they actually fell back to sleep.  Meanwhile, Keren was up for the day and rolling around in our bed.  I went back to sleep until 8:30 but Eric didn’t have as much luck as he had to deal with getting the kids out.  Of course Talia told him that she had to be at school at 7:40 instead of the usual 8.  She told him as they were getting ready for school!!  She is lucky it was Eric and not me b/c I would have told her to get herself to school!!

It was brutally hot outside again today.  It’s been like this for the past 2 days.  It’s supposed to break but I don’ t think it has yet.  We tried to take Keren out to the park today but we lasted 15 minutes and then she said she wanted to go home and so did I!  So we spent the whole day inside.

I’ve been asking Eric for a while to find pajamas for Keren in one of the boxes that we had stored away from Talia b/c she had outgrown all of her pajamas and I knew that we had some somewhere.  Eric took down all the boxes and it turned into a whole production.  It turns out that Keren has tons of clothes that I didn’t know about and now she is set for the summer.  Until now she had been wearing the same 4 pairs of shorts every day.  She has sooooo much now.  Eric said that we must have stuff that I forgot about but I thought I went through it all.  So I’ve been busy packing small things away and unpacking big things.  It is so time consuming and I don’t have much patience to do much of it at a time.  So slowly but surely things will get put away.  I actually have to move on it b/c the cleaning man comes on Thurs. and I need it all put away by then!

That’s pretty much the news from here.  I have to go clean up the kitchen and get into bed now.
