This morning I went to Petach Tikvah with Keren to spend some time with my cousin.  We hung out in her apartment and then went to the mall for a few minutes so she could exchange some shoes she bought.  When we walked into the mall the security man got all mad at me because I walked through the metal detectors with Keren.  He started to yell at me and ask me why I did that but I though that he was telling me to go back and I started to reverse back through them and then he really started to have a heart attack and that’s when I caught on that he didn’t want me to go through them at all in the first place.  WHATEVER!!  My cousin was like, oh, I never go through them with Libi!  She told me that she doesn’t go through them when she is pregnant.  Uch, it totally killed my morning, the rude Israeli security man.

Anyway, after that we went to my grandparents’ apartment to hang out for about 30 minutes until I had to come home and let Talia and my cleaning man in.  Talia got out of school at 12:45 today b/c we had her zimria tonight.

This afternoon Talia and I cleaned some more windows (now they are mostly done on the first floor) and hung out while we waited for Rinat to come (possibly for the last time!!).  Ben went to Eitan’s house after Eitan finished with his swim chug. 

Talia went to her zimria at 6:30 while I put Ben and Keren to sleep.  The parents were invited at 8 and I had Jere come and babysit while I went to watch Talia.  I totally lied to Ben and told him that I wasn’t going and that I would stay home with him.  He was so upset that Talia had this thing that he couldn’t go to.  I was all for bringing him at first and having him nap in the afternoon.  Then it just got too complicated and Jere was coming anyway for Keren and I know how hard of a time he has staying awake so late.  In the end it worked out perfectly.   

Talia’s zimria was adorable and it was only 1 hour!!!!  We came home and Talia had something to eat and hopped right into bed.  Jere was still into her movie so she stayed a while and then went home.  As I sat down to blog Keren woke up screaming!  So I went in and held her and  nursed her and held her a little more and she went back in okay but she just let out another little yell. 

So now it’s 10 and we have a big day tomorrow.  I plan on taking the kids to the pool after school and I don’t know who is more excited!!  I have to make sure that everything is finished for Shabbat so that we can come home just before Shabbat to take our showers and feed the kids and get ready.  Come to think of it, I better take the chicken out of the freezer now!!

Tomorrow Talia starts school at 9 instead of 8 b/c she had the zimria tonight until 9pm.  So school is going to be from 9-11:45 – are they kidding?!?! 

Here we are being silly:
