7 six years old and a zoo..need I say more???

Hey sorry I have not blogged in awhile but what a week!!! Ephraim came down with a crazy virus on Sunday and was laid up in bed for two days.  Meanwhile I was managing work, homework, housework...(need I say more???)  Had a wonderful dinner at Mabat steakhouse with Devora and Dovid.  Poor Ephraim was already feverish and came out to celebrate my birthday.  While all of us were broiling under the steam, Ephraim was huddled in his coat and asking all the diners to please come in and shut the door quickly to avoid a draft!!! First time, I ever found myself hotter than Ephraim.  He is usually the one that blasts the a/c in the car so high that my lenses stick to my eyes!!

Have not had time to try any recipes this week, but did make a delicious sweet chicken wings for shabbos.  I hope to get back into the recipes next week. 

Yesterday I took a zumba class with Leah Forster. Boy was that fun!!! I had a great workout and was entertained too.  Thanks Shaindy for being my workout partner. 

So today was a really full day....first I went to the zoo. Only FOUR mothers volunteered from Gavriel's class (the other first grade had EIGHT mothers!!!) so we each ended up with 7 boys.  I could not enjoy the zoo at all as I spent the entire time head counting and shouting "FREEZE wait for me!!"  This sounds terrible to say, but all those mothers should give their kids an extra kiss tonight as it was a real challenge to keep track of all them. I am posting two pics of the zoo...the kids at least had a great time!!!

Did I forget to tell you about the text I received while in the zoo? It was from Rabbi Sherman, Yehuda's Rebbe.  Mrs. Lehrer it said- Yehuda needs a change of clothes as he has had a slight mishap. I was fearing the worst- an accident perhaps, and then I read the rest of the text...it appears that a boy THREW UP on him- YUCK!!!.  So after the zoo, i ran home to get him a change of clothes and then met a few friends for a quick lunch before heading into Williamsburg to work.  After work, I got home and discovered that both my laptop and desktop decided to DIE at the same time.  Now for those of u that know what I do, you know that my computer is my lifeline!! and without it I cannot complete my work.  B'H for parents as my mother lent me her laptop for the next few days until I can buy a new laptop or fix my old one.  Gonna sign off now as I am getting tired...my iced mocha latte is beginning to wear off!!  Want to leave u with one picture of Yehuda climbing the walls tonight after finishing all his homework and studying for his "farher" with the principal.

Until next time...........
