A Fishy Story

We have a fish tank. You are supposed to change the filter every 6 months, but it's been a year and we just brought it in to be changed. Dh comes back with the filter, and with a fish bag. So I asked him "did you buy more fish?" No, he didn't buy more fish. There was a baby living in the filter. Can't have been there that long, but it reminds me of the stories of alligators in the NYC sewers. Who would have thought a baby fish could live in the fish filter for weeks on end (it was at least a few weeks old judging by how big it was, and I never saw it in the tank).

It's Been a Busy Summer

So far we have been so busy I have hardly updated! Plus you can barely go out before 5:00 it's so hot, so not a lot of nice outdoor pictures to put up.

The twins have their kaytana until Wednesday, and Rivka has hers also until then. I did one of the "Kaytanot Imahot" (mommy camps) for Rivka and it worked out really well. I was nervous about keeping them happy and entertained on my days, but in the end it all turned out great.

Avraham Tzvi is a bit more babbly, I think he's going to come out with a few words any day now. He has also been testing the waters more physically. He is cruising around and even stood alone for a split second on Shabbot. He goes back to physio next week for the first time since the chicken pox, so we'll see what she has to say about him.

Anyway that's all the news that's fit to print from this corner of the world. Hope all is good with all my readers, and I'll try to update more often in the future :)

A Day at the Beach

We took the kids for a little vacation this week, to see the in Netanya. I took the big 3 girls to the beach with MIL and they had a great time. Unfortunatly, I fogot the camera so no pictures :( but they were very cute in the water. Rena really loves it. Nechama & Rivka took a bit more warming up but in the end the had a good time. The surf was pretty gentle and nice and warm. All in all a pleasant vacation day :) MIL even saved the day by having a disposable camera around, but I will have to wait for pictures until I get around to bringing it in for development, and even then she's not sure how they will come out since it's an old camera they keep in the car in case it's needed.

And a Spotty Boy

As you can see by the big grin, he doesn't seem too bothered b'h.

Chicken Pox Pool Party :)

At least it's summer and they can have some fun with the pox. The girls are back to their regular activities now, and the baby should be cleared by Wednesday. I will be FREE AGAIN!

A New Way to Reduce Laundry

Get your kids chicken pox! They have only been changing clothes (PJs) once a day instead of... well they are little girls I won't tell you how many times a day they usually change. At least 2x (clothes + pjs). Now they are wearing PJs all day and I just realized I only did 1 load of their laundry this week. YAY.
