A week of closure, my last day going to gan this year... |
...my gan's also ending, just as I'm starting to enjoy it... |
...and for me, a present from my final day at Saba Yehoshua! |
|
Purim costumes? Or new pajamas? |
||
|
Mum took us to the airport to collect our daddy... but he seems to be the one collecting us! |
||
|
I can understand sharing a bath to save water... but sharing a towel??? |
||
|
Supervised driving lesson... Natty on gears and handbrake, Eli on steering wheel and radio, Zohar... instructing! |
||
|
Another birthday event.. |
...then prepare a bed... |
...and make myself pretty for Saba's surprise visit! |
|
Birthday week... cake for me... |
...photography job for me... |
...and a great toy pram for me! |
|
Who is going to swing the highest? |
||
|
It seems that despite having a clean backdrop, the perfect family picture still eludes us! |
||
|
Shavuot holiday at Ashkelon beach... |
...at breakfast in the hotel... |
...then defeating the cot and rewiring the room phone! |
|
We wanted to play Ker-Plunk! ... but our father seems to have lost his marbles... so we'll play with falling monkeys instead! |
||
|
Somehow, we joined "Tzivos Hashem" on Lag Baomer... |
...and "fought our Yetzer Hora" by being nice to a ladybird! |
 |
 |
Probably not the last Yom Aviv with Gan... |
...and by no means the last Savta visit... |
...but is this the last daddy does miluim? |
Yom Ha'atzmaut week, first Givat Hatachmoshet... |
...and wait for mum and Zohar to return for the fireworks... |
...and on the day, a big get-together at Stevens! |
|
Gan Danny is re-opening, and the cherry tree has new leaves... |
...but why is Eli re-closing mummy's case?... |
...and why is Zohar allowed to say "Oofetta"?? |
 |
 |
|
|
Bonus! Royal Wedding! Live Pictures! | ||
 |
 |
 |
During the break, we also had an impromptu gan, |
...a good bounce on J+J's trampoline... |
...and a trip to town to see the sights and get free balloons! |
The Story Of Pesach... first we finished the chametz... |
...then we had to make bricks to build pyramids... |
...and finally we were free... to play with clay! |
|
Avadim Hayyinu... |
...to our parents cleaning houses and cars! |
...but then I went Pessach shopping! |
 |
 |
 |
Given how long it took this horse just to stand up, I can't see us getting to Ra'anaana any time before Pessach... |
||
|
We decided to raise the mattress and drop the side... |
...before a girl tipped herself out and onto the floor... |
...so nothing to do with you both wanting to climb in? |
 |
||
It's been a busy week, washing my Purim costume, |
running the Jerusalem marathon, |
...and replenishing our cash stocks after all that! |
Some people find having your tonsils out scary... but I like the ice-cream! |
Some people find the see-saw scary.... but I like the thrill of speed! |
And what could possibly be scary about this? ... watch me fall off and scare Savta! |
Creative drawing at bedtime is not what it used to be! |
||
Summer has come early - and with it Sorbet... and so many different ways to eat it! |
||
Somewhere in Libya... one Outside Broadcast tent... |
...One antenna... |
...and now an update to the London studio! |
Food experiments... monster soup... |
Feeding cousin Michal pizza for the first time... |
and preparing mole paté
 |
|
Middle child... first it's Natty's turn to have a tug-of-towel with Eli... |
...then Zohar has a tug of tied-together bimbas with him! |
 |
 |
Singing, |
stomping, |
and just being seen in the rain!
 |
|
Daddy's off to the US... our attempt to go by flying mattress failed... |
...but Zohar insists the boys try again... by sea freight! |
 |
 |
Tu Bishvat 5771 - and we planted (and watered) a tree for everyone to enjoy! |
||
Afternoon activities... drawing, |
...craftwork... |
...and reading!
 |
I've created clicky jewelry... |
...I've created an iTeaStrainer... |
...and I've created a lounge punt!
 |
|
Welcome to the primary colours show! | ||
I'm going to draw some green grass... |
...should I paint a red sofa... or paint the sofa red?... |
...yellow will match the walls nicely!
 |
Finally, a few days before end of the year, a picture of all three of us in the bath! |
||
|
We're moving to a bigger, re-decorated bedroom! | ||
First bring the mattress... |
...then bring the bed... |
...and then go to sleep!
 |
Celebrating the miracle of Saba joining Savta on an Israel trip... for eight days! |
||
|
Chanukah! Time to... have a party and... | ||
Wave around a red torch to make light... |
...rebuild the Bet Mikdash... |
...and make food!
 |
|
Changes afoot... we're moving the tumble dryer to a new location to make room... |
...why not just bring it outside? |
|
 |
 |
|
|
What do you get when you cross... | ||
A climbing frame with a Pizzeria?... |
...washing up with getting washed?... |
...and a cot with a laundry basket?
 |
This is the way we wash our hair... wash our hair... wash out hair... |
||
|
Two boys in a bed... |
...and one girl in a flower bed! |
|
 |
 |
|
For our parents' eighth wedding anniversary, we went cold turkey (no more baby bottles)! |
||
Friday morning... loon around in pajamas... |
...serve up a strong coffee... |
...and head out to the park slide!
 |
She'll be coming round the mountain in Natty's train, Eli's chariot, and her horse - all at the same time! |
||
|
At the science museum, we climbed up the wall... |
...and found a bunch of great new friends! |
 |
 |
| Succot break... time for activities! | ||
With my new bicycle on the cycle path!... |
...on the train in Gan Sacher!... |
...and on the slide in the garden!
 |
It's true. It's our minhag "not to sleep" in the Succah! |
||
The "Best way to break the fast" advertising campaign is ready to roll! - Now, where's our fee? |
||
|
Natty would like to get things into order... |
...but Eli's had a hard day at gan!... | ...and Zohar's looking for more water to tip over herself! |
 |
||
|
Two syringes to tame end of holidays blues!... |
...and two forks to tame these noodles! |
|
 |
 |
|
|
Natty's back from his surprise 'holiday' in Shaarei Tzedek... things are back to normal... |
...except for this strange new toy he brought back! |
|
 |
 |
|
|
Another great Friday at Ramat Rachel pool. I wonder why Zohar's not coming in? |
I thought I'd start in something smaller! |
|
 |
 |
|
|
Summer holidays! Gan has finished! Time to play with great new toys! |
Messy boys! My shopping trip almost turned into a shopping trip |
|
 |
 |
|
On my swing!... |
...On a train with Gilad... |
...and now taken over the tractor!
 |
The ice pop didn't help Eli wake up... maybe spinning round and round (and having Zohar fall out) will! |
||
...and the winner of the "Most creative use of a single Oreo competition" is... |
...Zohar! |
|
| Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who'se the... | ||
Prettiest of them all? |
Snuggliest of them all? |
Muddiest of them all?
 |
...and to round off the fifth birthday celebrations, Savta Lilo came to visit! |
