she really wanted to!

Miri had a end of the year party with loads of candy and junk... There was one particular cool lollypop that Motty wanted to have from the bag. Miri was saving it for another day. I then see Motty walking around with it in his mouth. I asked why he had
It? He responded that" Miri wanted to be mevater so she can have a large piece of the livyasan."

arggg! pirates!

The whole gang was out for a wonderful adventure on Thursday. We started with the excitement of cousins playing musical cars. Our car had Bobby, the Landaus', Miri and Laya'la Bornstein. Then it was off to be pirates!! We arrived at the Jersey shore pirates at 12:15 got dressed up and faces painted. All mateys boarded the pirate ship after learning some pirate lingo. Ahoy! The girls were a bit afraid of course, they were holding hands and watching timidly until they saw it was all fun and games. We fished a bottle with a message in it out of the water, had a fight with great water canons (so cool) against an enemy ship pirate pete, and last but not least Motty's favorite part we found a treasure out at sea!! He is still looking for the perfect place to hide his treasures (for a short time it was under his pillow but he thinks that is a no brainer). Ayi ayi.

these kids grow waaaay too fast B"H

Summer is slowly creeping up on us. It is amazing how much each child has grown over the school year K"H it is fascinating to see Motty having started the year barely knowing the alef beis, and now he is already able to learn Chumash a little. Or be the tehillimn chazzan at shul. Miri was a real baby in September and by now she has grown and matured into this big girl who you can have adorable conversations with.
Menachem is like a cat that stuck up a tree when he stands up in his crib. He is afraid to let go and fall down to sit so he gets very nervous and yells for help. Another tooth is on it's way B"H. His hair is getting pretty curly now due to the humidity or maybe it's just growing longer, either way he fits right in the family :)
