Chol Hamoed Trip 5774

One Sukkos night when the kids were asleep,
Cuddled up in the Sukkah not making a peep,
A certain Yunger father and mother,
Were having a conversation with one another.

Where to go, was the big debate,
It has to be somewhere really top-rate!
Perhpas we should we rent another car
And take the family on a trip quite far!

But is it really worth the time and expense?
And keeping the kids in such suspense?
Maybe somewhere closer would be just fine,
We still could have a really nice time!

SpeedyKef is a luna-park very close-by
But the pool's closed for the season- will it still be kdai?
They've got lots of other fun stuff to do,
And its really convenient for me and for you.

Will the kids be upset or will they be thrilled?
I think it'll be great, said Mama, super-chilled.
Lets pack up our bags and get on our way,
We're sure to have a super duper day!

The kiddos were excited, and full of anticipation,
What would be our trip's destination?
And when we revealed to them where we would be,
They jumped for joy and said "Yippee!"

We went on a roller-coaster type ride,
Where you speed down the mountain on a metal slide.
Bumper cars, a ferris wheel, and trampolines too-
Bungee jumping, go-carts, and a cute petting zoo!

We all had a really fun time-
By each of the rides there was hardly a line!
Since the pool was closed the crowds stayed away,
And we had a wonderful day!

 

Having a good time!

I took this picture when we went on our Chol Hamoed Sukkos trip- I'll be posting more about it soon- but I think this picture deserves a post all its own. Don't those guys look like they're having a good time!? B"H we all did! Stay tuned for more details, coming soon....

 

Creative Chess Set

The kids wanted to play chess one night, but our chess set was missing too many pieces (it has since been replaced). So what did my innovative children do? Make their own, of course! I think they had more fun making it than they did playing!  As long as they enjoyed themselves, that's all that matters!

 

The best dressed babies in town

Actual Date: Erev Sukkos, 9/18/2013

I just love dressing my babies matching- even though they look nothing alike, and aren't even the same size, there's still something so cute about being matching.  As they are getting older, I have less and less matching clothes for them, but for Yom Tov I really wanted something.  I couldn't find anything in the stores, and by the time I thought about buying something online, it was too late.  Oh well, I thought, my babies just won't match.

The next day I 'happened' to stop in a kids' clothing store (which I had been to before) and found the most adorable vest suits, at a bargain of a price.  I ended up buying three sets- one to fit Hillel, one a size bigger for YL, and one the next size up, figuring that when they both grow a bit, YL will wear that one and Hillel will wear the one that YL outgrew.  But when I got home, it turns out that the larger one just-just fit Nissim- so I actually had all three of them matching (Nissim's belly is too round for the vest to button close!)

Aren't they smashingly cute?  I sure think so!

 

Bad Mama

Yes, I've been really bad about posting lately.  Seems that I'm not the only one in the family though- one sister abandoned her blog completely, another is still waiting for us to comment on her non-joke.  B"H for the sister who does give us occasional peak of her cuties, otherwise I think we'd all abandon checking these blogs altogether!

I've got tons of excuses, I'm sure you could list them off yourself...twin babies, moving, dealing with construction headaches, too many trips to the hospital with Nissim...yadda yadda yadda.

But I pledge to do Teshuva.  Months have gone by, the babies are KA"H adorable, and I would really like to share with you.  So I'm going to try.  I've got videos to post (but the sound on my computer isn't working...) and lots of pictures and stories (if I still remember them, especially in my sleep-deprived state!)  So please do visit again soon, you may be pleasantly suprised!
