More summer pics

With only 2 more days left until the kids go back to school, I'm feeling frustrated that I didn't get done with them all I wanted or had planned. Isn't that always the way it goes? I hope to get back to more regular updates once I'm back at work every day and can get caught up on the less urgent stuff that I have been putting on hold but which has nonetheless been piling up nicely. In the meantime, here are some more pics.

Watcha got for me?

Effie on a pony - he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Tractor ride

Gardening and petting corner

Chickens

Turtles

Effie thought the tractor ride was THE MOST wonderfulest, manliest thing E.V.E.R. Can't you tell?

Water slide

Gardening corner - the kids choose a flower and re-pot them and decorate the pots with stickers



THE END



Summer vacation - misc. pics

It's been a long time since I had spare time at work for blogging. I hope that will change soon so I can update everyone. In the meantime, I am working every other day until the end of the month so as to try to keep up with work - or at least be here to put out fires - and spend some time with the kids.  But we're into the home stretch of the summer vacation here and in lieu of an update, here are some pics of what we've been up to over the last 3 weeks or so.



E with a large grape in each cheek.



Waiting patiently for pizza.



An art project that I did with Y of which I am particularly proud. Butterflies in 3D.



Y at the beach in Ashdod.



E looking very much like a drowned rat and not looking too happy about it.





At the new and very nice gymboree - indoor play.
