Purim 2012

Kids sat on the bimah for the megillah reading on Purim night ... this was the best picture of both kids together - and as the night went on they looked more and more glassy eyed!  It was a late night and the kids were wiped by the time we left.  On Purim day Mama went to school with the kids so she could hear the Megillah and then they enjoyed all kinds of Purim fun at school.  They even gave out mishlach manot to their classmates and then helped Mama deliver some more mishlach manot around the neighborhood.  We enjoyed a delicious Purim Seudah at the shul.  It was a busy but fun Purim.

Pre-Purim Prep

Getting ready for Purim ... kids tried out their costumes recently, and this is how they looked.  Zachary has other choices (astronaut and Darth Vader) and may wear one costume at night and another one during the day.  Zoe LOVES her blue butterfly and may wear it everyday from now on, so we guess that means she wont be a bride, again.  She has been fluttering around the house quite a bit recently. 

Oh and don't worry, we wont hand-cuff them together on Purim, at least not the whole time.  Happy Purim everyone, stay tuned for more pictures from the actual day.

To prepare we also made adorable mishlach manot with an earth theme.
