My babies

My babies are growing up so fast, now they are driving in cars with a boy!

My husband

"Look Ma no hands!"


Do you see why the kids love their dad?

I am so excited

I ordered a new stroller tonight. I am so excited I can not stand it. I can not believe I am this excited about a stroller! Look at all the things it can do. The seats can face each other or away from each other. There are four seating combinations and I can also put the babies car seat on it. There are so many choices! I can even use it as a single stroller with tons of storage.
The best part is that it steers like a dream! It even comes with an ipod dock and speakers! I am just so excited. I can not wait for it to arrive.

Happy new year

My kids love to celebrate Rosh Hashana. They love apples and honey and listening to the shofar. This year was the first time in twenty years that Danny was around to celebrate the holidays and I was too sick to share in the joy. I had a bad stomach virus and was pretty much out of commission for two days. Thank goodness my mom was available to sit with the girls last Monday because I could not drag myself out of bed. Matt took the girls to Dan's house for dinner without me!
The girls had a great time. They had candy before dinner to bring in a sweet new year, Matt loved that! The girls came home with new necklaces, which they loved! Sydney was so excited by the necklace that she was showing it to me as Matt pulled up on the driveway. When I asked her where she got it she told me Tanya gave it to me, she is a nice girl!" She's right!

I have a problem

I have a huge problem. I have not been blogging the way I want to because i am having a camera problem. I think I am having a camera and a picture storage problem. It all started when Liel messed up my photo library, while it is not entirely her fault I feel the need to blame her because it is always Danny's fault and she is his daughter so... it is Liel's fault.
When we thought we lost all the pictures Matt decided to do something to the computer which required an upgrade to a different operating system. While he was figuring all that out he told me not to add any of the new pictures I took onto the home computer. That was almost three weeks ago.
Because it is taking so long I decided to stop listening to Matt and put the pictures onto the computer but the date on the camera was off and now the pictures are somewhere in two thousand and nine and on the camera! Can you see how confusing this is? I do not like to blog without pictures, so I have not been blogging.
To make matters more confusing I left one of my cameras at Danny's house and he moved today so who knows where it is.
I have been taking pictures with my iphone but they are not that great. Please hang in there while I figure this mess out and get back into the swing of things.

So how did you do?

My September challenge is over. How did I do? I think I did OK. I did not throw out one hundred huge items, like I wanted to. I did throw out a ton of stuff, there is a huge hole in my garage where tons of crap used to live. We dumped a huge amount of boxes out of our attic to make room for more stuff which we can throw out when we can afford to remodel our house. I got rid of my maternity clothes and tons of baby clothes, well over a hundred items, for sure. I wanted more so I am continuing the challenge this month but this time I am throwing out fifty items.
Fifty items. I will be happy if I can make another huge hole in our garage so we can start to clear out and organize the inside of the house. So this month I will focus on getting rid of more crap and organizing the crap that is inside the house. That is my challenge this month, any takers?

Bees

The bee keeper came to school right before Rosh Hashanah. Since it was a day that the kids were not in school we all had the opportunity to go. The entire experience was great for me I learned a lot of "bee facts"that I did not know and much to my surprise the girls learned a lot. While we were sitting on the floor listening to the Bee Keepers talk, Sydney and Jordan were fighting over my lap. I was ready to leave because they would not stop fighting but I managed to distract them and we made it through the talk. Sydney and Lior were eager to tell Matt all about what they learned from the Bee Keeper. They told him how the bees made broccoli, cauliflower and chocolate. Much to my surprise Sydney remembered that the bees also made coffee and then Lior told us "Yeah you guys like that coffee". I should have told her we do not like coffee, we need it, we crave it, without it life would be a lot grumpier than it is now!
I'm not sure how much Jordan took away from the whole experience. She was very hesitant to put her ear to the hive but she did not want to stop looking at them "Dey are moving, da bugs are moving!" The girls had the opportunity to listen to the bees. I could not get over how loud it was when I put my ear to the hive, it gave me the creeps!
