We all scream for...

Ice cream!

One morning during vacation, we went for a special treat- there's a milchigs place in town which serves delicious "זיסלק" ice cream- which is better than any pre-packaged ice cream around! The kids all enjoyed immensely!

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!)

A gutten Chodesh!

In honor of Rosh Chodesh Iyar, today we had a yummy treat- ice cream!  The kids were all excited, as this was our first ice cream of the season- what a special treat for a special day!  Even Nissim got to chew on a cone- he was very happy to be one of the crowd!

Aren't they yummy?  (I mean the kids, not the ice cream cones!)

Ice Cream Trucks and Innocence

A few weeks ago, I was in the park down the block with the kids, when I heard a familiar chime- an ice cream truck!  I have never seen an ice cream truck in Israel before (except for mabye at a big attraction!)- and certainly  not in Beitar, so the kid in me got all excited- hey, lets go buy something!  (the adult in me said no!)

The kids got excited too- but not because they had any idea that you could actually buy ice cream from the truck!  They were just excited to see such a silly "tender" that had a picture of ice cream on it and made funny music!  Its funny how such simple things can make kids happy- who even needed the ice cream- the truck alone was exciting enough!  I'd better enjoy their innocence while it lasts- because soon they'll catch on and they'll start begging me for ice cream every time they hear his chime!

(Well, actually, I think by now the kids have already chapped that its more than just a van with a picture on it...especially when they see the neighbors lined up next to it, and coming back with ice cream or popsicles!  (I still don't understand how all these Israeli's have $ for it!)
