Back to school...

Somehow going back to school in new York always meant thus annoying little kid on a commercial in a whiney voice saying" back to school" to promote ther store and sales items. Thy starte those adS practically the first day if summer vacation . Oh how I hated those so much ad I know my dad feels the same way. We always made fun if those bratty kids ... Any way my point is that here going back to school super fun both for parents and kids alike! For me it means finally some sort if semblance of order to the day and having a little but if time without all three kids clinging ti me and crying and eating from boredom !also they are going ti have such a great time and expeience and it will give us all he opportunity to make more friends! The kids are ready and so are parents ! They Starr Thursday any wY today we went to the mall for some last licks if summer. The kids enjoyed a Complimentry baking workshop where they made lollipops out if sugar dough and than got a free lunch box from tnuva dairy products and got to decorate it . There was a choco inside! Everyone drank it up and even yedidya drank from he straw!and don't forget the girls got new backpacks for gan!! Well take pics don't worry!
Loving and missing you all..

Eliku and the girls having fun at the beach! (thanks we had a great time!!!)

yesterday was jam packed! we woke up at 5:30 am and got the kids out of bed in the middle of their sleeping  by 6:10. Crankiness wore off fast when we told them we were going to the beach with eliku and nitzah, whom they absolutely adore! we got a very early start on the morning bec we had to bring our car to this place near ilanas relatives for a paint job on the bumer that the place messed up when we baught it and to fix the tires and do the yrly inspection..and we weretold if we get it in early it will for sure be done by end of day. well as the day wore on , althopugh we were having a blast building sandcastles, jumping through waves, swimming and eating sand..we came to realize that it would not be ready in time...so frustrated because we would never had all made the trip especially waking the kids up eaarly and at 6:00 pm had to be back home for a meetig with shalhevets new gan and teachers and classmates. at the end we decided instead of sleeping over ilanas relatives, we would take a bus from tel aviv to jersualem and jerusalem to our house. this plan was thank G-d uprooted by eliku, who kidnapped us and braught us directly home. ilana and shalhevet, although late, still got to meet her teachers, and see her gan! shalhevet wrte her name in hebrew! the car wasnt evern ready in time the next day eaither so its a good thing we didnt stay over night. we got the delicious lollipop and candy package from grandma and grandpa !! thanks!!! imma let us eat one really early this morning as a special treat . the neighbors kids saw the candy and thought it was soo special that it came all the way from their grandpaertns in america! . tonight temmima met he classmates and her gan and teachers.  everyone was really nice in both places. meemer started the school yr with some mischief, by spreading glue all over the table! yay meemer..
