General Busy-ness: March 2013

So we finished off February vacation week with Purim. Our synagogue always does a great kid-friendly shpiel, and then the following day Marc and the kids made their annual hamentashen. It was later in the evening and I was tired, but Hannah insisted on the usual photos being taken, so here they are.

The following weekend was Hannah's Kabbalat Siddur ceremony at religious school, where the third graders showed off their knowledge of all of the prayers and received their own prayer books with fancy embroidered covers. Hannah had practiced a lot for this big event, and she and her classmates did a fantastic job. It was a really special morning. Hannah also got to take a duct tape crafting class and had another concert performance with Kol Keff this month.

The following week we had yet another snow day, which delayed Max's kindergarten screening to the following week. He was so excited to finally go to Bowen for something all about him, and from all accounts had a great time. He also had his last sessions of his karate and music classes at the JCC, which I was lucky to be able to attend. In a couple of weeks will get to see the movie his class filmed on the story of Passover - he was very proud of his part as Aaron.

Marc and I got a couple of nights out too - we went to see Stereo Sinai perform as part of the Boston Jewish Music Festival and to attend a mystery dinner at synagogue.

Work continues to be all-consuming and exercise not happening as often as I'd like, but there have been so many unusual events on the Sunday and Tuesday mornings when I usually go to Zumba that I'm trying not to be upset about it and just go when I can.

And unbelievably, it's time for Passover. It's actually one of my favorite days of the year, when Marc basically spends the whole day cleaning.

So that's what's been going on here. How are you? Anyone feel like de-lurking and leaving a comment for once?
