Michelle and Eshel

Michelle said to me: "Mommy, let's play cats. I'm a kitten, you're a cat and he (pointing to Eshel) is our brother kitten..."

"Eshely is such a funny little boy!"

Carmel woods

After such a wonderful hike on Shabbat we took our friends to the woods so that they too could look for the mushrooms and enjoy the flowers.




















We walked looking for mushrooms (unfortunately didn't find any, but kids and adults enjoyed the walk anyway) and then they saw it...




















everything was going well at first,

then it got a little worst....







































in the end everyone was in the puddle .... the biggest attraction of the day



just look how they love it!

Shabbat trip to the woods

On Saturday one friend said that there are lots of mushrooms in Haifa forest so we went to look for the mushrooms. In the end we found two mushrooms but the hike was much worth it... look what we found...




















Walking hand in hand...




















Find out more about crocus here















Find out more about daisies here




















Climbing old burned tree




















Saffron is here




















If you want to find out more about daffodils go here.




















Iris is here




















Cyclamen is here

We were very happy to see so many flowers. Nahal Nesher (right behind the university) is a first place that blooms in winter (I was told) because it is the sunniest cliff on Carmel mountain. The view is gorgeous




















We also found the moss covered rock (all of you familiar with Anansi story) and played out the story.




















In the end of the hike we ate a delicious Druz pita ...







































yes, a great Shabbat.

The Dead Sea

My parents took us to the Dead Sea for a couple of nights. It was wonderful!!!
Only one thing went wrong - my camera... I have no pictures of the trip. You can see the pictures mom took here.

A daunting task

Cleaning the house can be a daunting task (especially if you have kids).
I clean up one room (they help me with their little brooms and rags) and when I'm finished everyone is hungry. We go get the bread from the oven and everyone wants a steaming piece.... All the crumbs end up in the room that I cleaned, in our bed, everywhere ... I cleaned the house today, so what, that it looks exactly the way it looked before I started (about 5 hours ago...), I know it's clean! (somewhere underneath all this mess...)

dis

Eshel has a couple of words
"dis" - he points his little finger and says "dis" (this)
"mama" - everyone... me, Sasha, Michelle
