Winter Coat + Spring = Cold Day at the Park

Last weekend (April 7th)the sun actually came out for a little while and it wasn’t quite as cold as it has been lately. Thanks to this JL and I took NHL to the park. BRRRRR! It was pretty chilly, as you can tell from NHL’s cheeks just from a short time. Here are some photos and a video that I took. I have some other cool videos too (not from the park), but I can’t upload them since they are too big. JL is going to help me later to put them on our own website so I can still use them here.

My “kosher” kid!

Yesterday morning we took my parents and went to a pancake breakfast that was a fundraiser for the students that I teach. It was a wonderful experience. The kids really worked and I believe they learned a lot and it was a great team building experience.

Of course NHL loved all of the attention the girls gave him. He thought it was great, especially the bacon that JL and I allowed him to have. He’s so used to the soy stuff we weren’t too sure what he would think. Oh well, he wasn’t following a kosher diet anyway at nursery school, so he’ll live! Here’s a photo of NHL showing off his bacon:

After that we went back to the rents house where my little brother, Uncle I was waiting for us. A traumatic event followed where poor NHL had to wash his hand that had a boo-boo bandaid on it and it fell off. I head him from the other room and knew it was related to the bandaid. Well he was in full hysterics. JL and NHL came into the room where we were all sitting and Whiskers (cockatoo) screamed and made Noah go off the deep-end. So NHL actually asked to rest on the floor with daddy since he was tired. Here’s a photo of the sleeping boys:

On that note I am off to get ready. Uncle I and Aunt M are coming over soon and we need to all get dressed and clean up a little around here.

Purim 2007

Last Saturday night was the start of Purim. We took NHL to the Megillah reading at night where kids and even some adults dress up in costumes. NHL wore his monkey costume that looks like Curious George. He also brought his George and had fun using the graggers. Everything was fine until Eeyore showed up. The Executive Director of temple wore a full body Eeyore costume that sent him over the edge. We won’t even mention what happened when the rabbi showed up as Winne the Pooh and cantor as a frog/lizard. Eventually they took their “heads” off and NHL calmed down (it took QUITE some time). As time went on he actually smiled and waves to Eeyore and laughed about being afraid of them. We shall see if this experience helps us next time we got to Chuck E Cheese.

Below are photos from the service.

NHL as Curious George:

Happy Spud!
