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!

A fun summer afternoon in גן אלמליח

Since we had to move over summer break, we were so busy packing that we didn't have much time for trips. One afternoon, after having spent too many days at home, we decided to get out for a few hours with the kids, to have a fun, refreshing time.  We went to גן אלמליח, a lovely park which is pretty close to Malcha Mall, which is pretty easy for us to get to.  It has huge slides which the kids really enjoy, and its really breezy there, so even on a hot summer day it was quite pleasant.  We brought along tons of snacks, bubbles, and a kite, and had a lovely afternoon.  We were so busy having fun (meaning, I was so busy trying to fly the kite!) that we barely had time to take pictures- but I did manage to get one picture of Bentzi and the kids.

Isn't Azriel Shraga's pose so "HIM"!?

Yungers in Action: My little cleaner-upper

Nissim has become really cute about cleaning up - he clears the cups and silverware off the table and puts them in the sink (I often find fleishig spoons in the milchig sink - oops!) and he loves to push all the toys into a  pile using a broom or sponga stick (he actually has pretty good control!) - it is adorable!  I actually managed to capture it on camera (after a few failed attempts where he stopped as soon as he saw me, I got smart and hid in the stairwell, where he didn't notice me right away).  Enjoy!

Troublemaker in Training

The other morning I caught Hillel pulling out wipes from the package- he's not as fast as his older brother, but no worry, with a bit more practice I'm sure he'll do a spectacular job!

And since I don't want anyone telling me its not fair to post about one twin and not the other, here's a silly picture of Yehuda Leib that I took the same morning.  Isn't he YUM?
