...and to round off the fifth birthday celebrations, Savta Lilo came to visit! |
||
|
This time - it's my birthday - at gan... |
...it's all over the morning paper... |
...and I love the bubble machine you got!
|
|
The boys are mixing a cake... |
...and checking it tastes great... |
...for my upcoming birthday!
|
|
Bedtime, Zohar... I get into my dressing gown...
|
...and little monsters get put away for the night!
|
|
| This week, we've been learning about materials and their uses... | ||
|
Natty tried out plaster... |
...Eli experienced fabric... |
...and Zohar, being a girl, discovered plastic!
|
|
A busy week... Ayelet came with Aunty Deb... |
...to see her cousins... |
...and catch zohar take her first steps!
|
| This week, I'm giving an important presentation... | ...but the audience are just mucking about as usual! | |
|
|
|
|
|
...and then there were three! |
||
| Getting ready for Shabbat... making the soup (almost) with mummy... | ...and walking (almost) to daddy with his kippa! | |
|
|
|
|
| ...and in our general election, it's too close to call... we'll have to wait for the returning officer to read out the results... | ...which I'll do as soon as I've got this megaphone working! | |
|
|
|
|
|
It'll your first Lag Ba'omer, Zohar... so time for your first fire safety lecture! |
||
|
Chag Atzmaut Sameach! |
||
|
If Saba didn't need the computer, and daddy wasn't using the laptop, we wouldn't have to queue up for internet access |
||
|
The girls came over from Ra'anana. Maybe important people are in town? |
||
| Post-Seder Pesach Activities at Auntie Jood's in Ra'anana... | ||
|
Natty and Beth explore the climbing frame... |
...Eli enjoys the trampoline... |
...and Zohar is just itching to tackle the stairs!
|
| There must be a very good reason why we've been sent outside... what did Zohar say? | "I'm only going to Pesach clean this sofa once!" | |
|
|
|
|
| Welcome to the first annual Bimba race...... over to the finish line... | ||
|
Natty's ready with the chequered flag... |
...and it's Eli in the lead... |
...closely followed by the late entrant... Zohar!
|
| It's hard to take a good picture of us when we've...... | ||
|
...decided to pull a funny face... |
...covered ourselves in yoghurt... |
...or discovered that the lens hood makes a great toy!
|
|
The Royal Gardens in Eilat! No rain here on Purim! |
...except in the shower! |
Good thing there's this girl in the mirror to lean against!
|
|
If we pack ourselves, do you think we'll get taken away somewhere nice? |
||
|
The moment of truth... did our father have a successful trip to the US (successful for us, of course)! |
||
|
I'll load the tumble dryer, |
and I'll schlep the washing over... |
...while us girls take it easy!
|
|
Rainy day schedule... push my sister around... |
...invite my brother outside... |
...and watch the boys having fun!
|
|
There were three in a bed... |
||
|
For Tu Bishvat, we go out outside into nature... |
...and enjoy the latrines! |
Silly boys! Not latrines! Trees - like these! |
|
|
|
|
|
Natty with Abi, |
Beth with Eli, |
and Emma with Zohar at bathtime. |
We're here... but where's Eli? |
having a 'Yom Buledet' (several months late) at gan! |
|
| A new decade... by the end of the previous one, we'd managed to outgrow... | ||
...the old car (hence this new one), |
the toy cot, |
and our rocker (even weighed down with bricks). |
Despite all being unwell, we met Bonnie the horse, |
helped shop for challot, |
and sat up for the activity centre |
Light, |
...eat... |
...or just watch the Chanukiyyah! |
A busy week, making doughnuts,... |
...finding new ways to eat with a fork... |
...and dealing with the morning after the night before! |
Watching Eli's haircut... |
...drawing daddy's haircut... |
...and not needing a haircut! |
Winter's here, we're looking cool,... |
...chilling out,... |
...and ready for the slopes! |
Missing you, daddy! |
||
| Today's activities... | ||
Make olive oil the hard way... |
...blow up balloons the easy way... |
...and update the web-site! |
| It's pouring outside... time to... | ||
Dance around in the rain on the balcony... |
...tuck up nice and snug in bed... |
...and figure out what boys' toys are all about! |
| For your anniversary, we've... | ||
Made you a card... |
...celebrated with bubbles... |
...and tried our first food! |
Eli, I'm building your new bed... |
...no need! the box is fine... Zohar can have it... |
...at least it won't be worn like this playmat, then! |
Krembo as a metaphor for life... anticipation, patience, and satisfaction! |
||
We've been digging up the garden... |
...don't worry... I'll do caparot for you! |
|
| Darling, when you asked me to look after the kids, I didn't know you were referring to all of them! | ||
 |
||
|
Which decoration did you say is falling down, Eli? |
my first ever Succah prank - success! |
Someone's pulled a prank with my milk... this isn't mummy! |
 |
 |
|
Shana... |
...Tova... |
...u'metuka! |
| Eli's birthday party... and Emma's too! Emma baked a birthday cake... | ||
Where's mine?... |
...or ours?... |
...and ours? |
Travelling... on foot... |
...by rail... |
...and by sea! |
| The summer holidays are coming to an end... | ||
|
...time to put the toys away...
|
...clean the floor...
|
...and avoid getting put away with the toys!
|
 |
 |
 |
I've grabbed daddy's sushi... |
...I've grabbed Zohar's dummy... |
...and I've been grabbed by uncle Malcolm!! |
Gan has broken up... now the hard work starts... |
...taking my brother to the activities at the zoo... |
...and helping my sister practice getting kissed! |
It's Tu Be'av... we could go out dancing...
 |
...or just spend the night cuddling on the sofa!
 |
|
|
I'd like to make a complaint about a baby girl...
|
...I'm not surprised, you're the fourth call this week!...
|
|
 |
...No point complaining, boys... I'm here to stay! | |
 |
||
Playing on the roundabout... |
...and car in the park... |
...and I'm practicing playing at home! |
| It's 6am... what are we doing? | ||
|
Remembering my birthday party at gan...
|
...playing. No pictures, please!...
|
...I've found a better place to sleep!
|
 |
 |
 |
|
My fourth birthday... I blow out the candles on the cake...
|
...I help to unwrap the presents...
|
...and I get the short straw already!
