Yungers in Action: I said no, and no means NO!

He really means it, doesn't he?!

An expert Challah Baker

Last Friday, Bruria was NOT in the mood to go to Kaytana- and no amount of cajoling was able to convince her otherwise.  So she stayed home and helped me get ready for Shabbos- and she was a tremendous help!  She washed dishes, swept the floor- and then she wanted to help braid the Challos. 

Now those of you who know me well, know that I'm a real perfectionist when it comes to cooking and baking- not only do I like to make sure my food tastes nice, it has to look nice as well!  But I saw how eager she was to help, so I overcame my nature and let her do it- she braided all the Challos- ALL BY HERSELF (I stood next to her and coached her a bit, but she really did a fine job!).  The first one came out a bit lop-sided, but the next two came out absolutely gorgeous- almost as nice- if not nicer (gasp!) than mine!

Maybe I'll let Bruria stay home more often on Fridays...definitely seems like it paid off!

Another creation by Yisrael

It's been a while since I posted, and even longer since I've posted a Clics creation by Yisrael...but have no fear, he hasn't lost his touch!

Here's his latest- a bunk bed for the dolls!

Innocent no longer....

Remember the good old days when my kids had no idea that an ice cream truck was anything more than a van with a great paint job and a nice horn? 

Well those days are over, my friends!

Now, whenever they hear his jingle, they RUN to go see it- and beg me to buy them ice cream (mean Mommy that I am, I usually say no!)  Even little Naftali says to me, "I yant lida (glida)"

At least Nissim doesn't beg me for ice cream yet....

(Apologies for not blogging much lately- seems like things are always busy around here!)
