Junior Gymnastics

We changed the clocks about a month ago (right before Yom Kippur) so its been getting dark really early- Shkiya is before 5 PM! So since we can't spend as much time outdoors, we are trying to come up with more indoor activities. Today's activity was......gymnastics! We had a lot of fun doing somersaults (or גלגולי ראש as the kids say in Hebrew!)
I even did a headstand for the kids, which they LOVED - even Naftali thought it was crazy to see his Mommy upside down! (I used to be the headstand champion growing up- and while I can't do it for nearly as long as I used to, I think its pretty amazing that I can do it all, after having 4 babies!) I tried showing the kids how to do it against the wall....obviously they couldn't do it, but we'll have to keep practicing!




We all had a blast, and when we were done, we were WORN OUT! (Good thing it was bedtime!)

Yael, you're too much for me! Gymnastics, at your ripe old age?! Whenever I have class in the computer lab here at TI, it's definitely a treat to check out your blog and find these cutie pictures posted! I also love your little blurbs -- they add a lot of flavo!

Yael, you definitely gave the kids a good time! They are smiling so wide, and their eyes look like they are about to pop out! Now I seriously have to come over! Looks like the action is at your place!
