With Gan and Keytana coming to an end, we can start letting our hair down!






"pool our socks up"? but we're not wearing socks...
..."get into your sleeping bag"? well, I've got my arm in...




July... time for my seventh birthday party....
...to put on L-Plates and learn about road safety...
...and to try out our new bench... what are the boys doing with that hose, though???






Brought a little early to catch all his gan friends - Eli's 5th Birthday party!


I had to work hard for six years before they let me graduate out of this place....
...and I had to have a haircut before they let me graduate this one...
...yet all I had to do to graduate was to clear up after the haircut!






The end of Gan Chova for me, party at the old city....
...while back home, we prepare for tent city 2012!




At Elisha's end of year party, I helped him hold a snake....
...then we showed how to do yoga...
...and finally held hoops for him to roll a ball through!






Getting into the swing of summer!


The boys show off their pieces of work from Gan Danny. However, it seems that the girl was more interested in painting herself!


Making Challah for...
...Chag HaShavuot




You might think this is un horsing about on Shabbat morning. But you'd be wrong. This is us horsing around on Friday morning, practicing for our Shabbat morning invasion!


On Lag Baomer, with summer approaching, I've grown to fill the tent....
...I've also grown, as has the cherry tree...
...and although I've grown, I still need someone to soothe me to sleep!






My last Yom Aviv with gan... I'm getting big...but where are the clay and scents?...
...who cares? I'm cutting the egg that my big brother made...
...and I'm having my first ride on a big brother horse! Yee Ha!






A busy week, with a new cousin...
...a photo session in our Yom Ha'atzmaut 'white' T-shirt...
...and daddy back from the states with Kitty pajamas!






Hold tight!...
...grit your teeth!...
...we might be nearing the end of the nappy era!


This year, our busiest, best Pesach ever!


Final Pesach checklist. Have you kashered your post-box?...
...keyboard? (including full immersion of iPod/iPad/iPhone)...
...and if there's any time left, your kitchen?






Getting ready for Pesach, cleaning the car, examining the vacuum cleaner, and eating chametz...


We're better again... And it's sunny... time for the first picnic of the season!


The boys have been off Gan all week with the flu... can't miss making Challah, though!


Purim 2012






In Saba's house, before getting ready for Meron's Bar Mitzva party...


...and after!


We've packed our bags... for gan?


...and here's one we made earlier!


Happy birthday - to the trees!


Mummy's back... time for face paint,
dancing,
and yet another novel sleeping position!






How many different ways can we arrange these bricks together?
How many different ways can I arrange myself?




Natty end Eli put the finishing touches on Zohar's icing... for someone's birthday...




Great winter activities... such as drawing with light!


The boys can't get to sleep without each other right there, meanwhile...
...Zohar makes do with a pen and long-distance buddy!




Puddles...


...rainy day indoor picnic...


...and more puddles!


More chanukah parties at Gan Adina...


...gan Tzviyya...


...and for Spiketta the candle!


A Chanukah Party at Gan Chana...


...and a pajama party in mummy & daddy's bed!


Dirty and dirty...
...then clean and clean!
Bouncy boys on the wobbly bridge at the zoo park...
...and a golden girl enjoying golden syrup!




We also got to spend Shabbat at Savta & Zeide's... with Michal and Tal!


Perfectly fair... if mummy can fly off to London to see the theater, we can let our hair down in the Jerusalem theater with Rinat!


It's 11/11/11... and we're preparing for the Natty, Eli, and Zohar show!


Enjoying the garden one last time before it pours...
...but inside, there's a problem. We need headphones made for three ears!
First time, outside the Mifletzet...
...then inside... and yes, we all slid down!
Chol Hamoed... slide...
...visit Anne & Daniel on the farm...
...and slide again!
Time for the annual Succah picture again!


After six gruelling years, and with a new bed installed, it's time for one final fling before we bid the cot goodbye!


Three kids, three-day Yomtov! Shana Tova to one and all!


I'm like Pooh climbing...
...I'm like Tigger bouncing!...
...and I'm like Christopher Robin swinging!
What can possibly go wrong?

See? We can make our own grape juice...


...be our own Abba Shel Shabbat...


...and we can teach ourselves about it!


Lights...


...presents...


...and action for Eli's fourth birthday!


Rounding off the summer, chilling out with the whole Brodie family in Netanya!


Bonus picture! All the Brodie grandchildren together for Abi's Bat-Mitzva!


With Natty taking Saba for a fast dance...


...Eli invesigating the microphone connection...


...and Zohar stealing the show, a decade ahead of time!


Time to identify with the protesters camped on Rothschild...
...I'm writing slogans calling for affordable housing...
...and I'm giving the lads support by only getting half-dressed!


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!


Select year.
