Spring is NEXT MONTH!!!

Cannot believe I've made it to February already. I'm so desperate for spring to arrive that I am forcing myself to NOT check the news to find out what the groundhog saw. Groundhog or none, spring will arrive here on March 21st SHARP. Period.

Suppers:

Thursday - Chili - yummy but no cornbread on top due to ongoing moth infestation in the cornmeal. :-(((
- No lemony slush beverage either due to SPLAT between Corelle bowl containing fresh lemon juice and floor.
- Chocolatey slush beverage from blender well-received by all
- Oh... yummy olive-oil bread stood in respectably well for cornbread. All food consumed instantly; no leftovers.

Shabbos - At the parents'. Yay!
Shabbos lunch - At the Weidbergs'. Walked a million miles to get there. Nice temperatures, but too much slush... took almost two hours for me, Elisheva and the littles.

After Shabbos, we went downtown to the Wintercity festival to see the million flowerpots of fire they had burning at city hall. As usual when something significant is happening, I forgot the camera. OK, "forgot" is the wrong word. When you're mustering 4 kids out the door with diapers and snacks and bus tickets, there comes a point where you say "we're leaving no matter what" and then you have to look at the camera across the room, sigh, and pull the door shut behind you. Or else it just does not happen.

It was lovely, though, and now that I've blogged it, hopefully I'll remember it longer than 30 seconds.

I bought Morah, Morah, Teach Me Torah just before Shavuos (literally, minutes before the bookstore closed) and have been enjoying it weekly ever since. I don’t look at it before I write my parsha overviews , but I do read it when I’m planning what sorts of things to do with my kids in connection with the parsha. It’s also something I can read with them if I choose. There are so many reasons I like this book! Despite the very cute picture on the cover, it’s not just for teeny-weeny kids. It features simple songs (if you know basic tunes to kids’ songs in English, like Mary Had a Little Lamb , or The Ants Come Marching , you can sing these songs!), parsha summarie...
