Chicken Pox Pic

She has so many of them. Much more than Rivka did, but thankfully she is doing pretty well, no fever, and not itching so much.

Yes, she's wearing her Purim costume. Poor kid is just bored at home.

Another Chicken Pox Girl

Nechama came out with them last night. Poor thing is going to miss her end of the year party (yes, I know I still have to put up Rivka's pictures. I will try to get to it today or tomorrow). I feel bad for her since it's not great timing, but at least she doesn't really seem sick with it. She does have about 2x the spots Rivka did. Picture to follow when the camera battery is charged.

So Now He Says Ima...

but only when he's mad at me LOL. If I leave the room and he doesn't approve he screams "IMA" at me. If he wants me food and I don't give him, same thing. But hey, it's a start right?

My Son

The living, breathing, pulling up, talking, almost standing....

DOLL!

Yes, it is *almost* like a real live person!! Or at least that's what the girls think. They think he's a little dolly for them to play with. And he tollerates it well and loves the attention. For the most part ;-)

At least they are enjoying having a brother :)

Rivka's Party

Her party was last Wednesday, but with her home and poxy I couldn't get onto the blog before now. She had a good time, but was a bit out of it (now I know why LOL). Here are some pictures. The whole play was "Shabbot" themed.

Before the festivities

Candle lighting.

Whole class singing together.

Being a star at the end of Shabbot

Getting her picture of the year, and some flowers for Me :)

Why Rice Cereal...

Is not a finger food!

Well at least he enjoyed his breakfast. And the spontanous bath he got after it :)

A Pox on Our House

Chicken pox, that is. Rivka has them (I'm 99% sure, going to the doctor today for confirmation). I was starting to worry I was going to have to vax them for it. My friend's son in her class also has them, and he did have the vax.

In other news, Rivka had her end of the year party last night, pictures to follow later. She was supposed to have her birthday party on Friday, but we will have to squeeze it in next week. Birthday parties are a HUGE deal here, and I would hate for her to see the parties all year long in gan and miss hers :(

Lookie What My Big Girl Did

All by herself :D. I didn't even ask her to. She was so proud too!!

Nechama's bed, all nice & tidy :)

His Favorite Time of Day

Bathtime! Kid loves the bath. From looking at his dirty self crawling around you would never know, but he loves the bath. It's so cute :)

OK I'm ready...



Let Me In!



Enough pictures.... I want in the bath NOW.

A Little Update

I realize my blog has been sort of neglected lately. We have been having lovely spring weather (soon it will be so hot we will be inside 24/7!!) and we've also been sick :(

We had a really nice Shavout, some company :D. The kids had a great time playing and eating (even if they loved the cheesecake more than anything else). The adults had a nice meal also. At least this adult did.

The kids are wrapping up their school year, can't believe it's June! The twins will have a special school / camp program for July, and Rivka will be doing a rotating backyard camp. I'm sure a good time will be had by all :) In August I am having a camp in the house with a great friend of mine. We have some wonderful children lined up and I'm sure the kids will have a great time.

Avraham Tzvi has perfected pulling up, but he still can't get down. He has the typical baby PLOP when he's had enough of standing (or when he lets go, he can't stand up by himself yet). He also has the real crawl down, but I can't catch it on video! Little stinker just won't perform for the camera. I'll try to get some footage and post it up, but no promises. He's quick!
