Passover Pastimes

We have been immersed in Passover this past week and I have been a total blog slacker. I think it's because we are staying at my mom's and she keeps us busy! Ben has had many jobs this week.....cleaning out the garage, sawing limbs off of trees, fending off squirrels in the wall, knocking down a bird's nest, moving TVs, and attempting to thwart a leak (iced with almost falling off the ladder due to my negligence). So many things have been going wrong in her house, it's just weird. Some kind of curse or something. At least, Ben got to end his Spring Break with going trout fishing up in Blue Ridge today so it was all worth it to him.

Anyway, Passover has been Passover. During one seder, Alexis decided to "read" her Hagaddah (we used some REALLY cool ones at Chabad first seder that were from Publix and had lots of pictures), and "tell" her story of Passover. It went something like this: (pointing at a guy standing half naked in the book) "That's Pharoh and he's gonna say no no no I will not let them go". (Pointing at a group of people next to the random guy) "But they are Jews and they are going to go anyway". (Pointing back at the one random guy) "And soon he's gonna get frogs in his pants". I love three year olds and their interpretations!!!!

We are back to grind this week with Ben back and work and no school still for Lex. We better find some things to do. Then Ben leaves us on Thursday for a trip to San Diego. At least, he'll escape the pollen for a few days.

  1. I am a little disappointed at "no shout out" for the Needle Seder where the Alexis and Bess pummeled each other with green onions.
