Weekend update

BH we had a very nice Shabbos this week.
Shaya and MM both made models of Avraham's tent, which were prominently displayed on the table. (We asked MM whose tent he made- us: " MM, who's tent is this?" MM: "Its MY tent, I made it in my gan" Us: But who lives in it? MM: "I do!, Its mine". maybe next year he'll get it.).
MM also learned the color "yarok" which of course, he explained as "red". So, MM has a way to go with the education piece, but he is still really really cute.
Shaya was able to tell us about the parsha very nicely as well, noting that Avraham and Sara had a new baby named "Yitzchak Avinu".
We had 4 seminary girls over friday night (shabbaton in the neighborhood). Ben is still recovering.
Shabbos morning I took the kids to a kiddush next door where they each grabbed as much as they could before heading back home. Then we had Ben's morning chavrusah, Mike, over for lunch. He enjoyed this much more. Yaakov Baruch is very into Mike and spent a lot of time climbing on him. bH Mike seems to be kid-friendly as well.
Ben was very very nice and let me take both a morning and afternoon nap to try and finally get rid of this cold.
After a quick trip to the park, the boys were all in pjs by havdalah and quickly into bed after that.

Weekly preview: MM finally has his ENT appt for his persistant strep, Shaya has speech, YB has an OT evaluation. I am working on my paper and Ben has begun studying for his next bechina (beginning of March). Shaya's class is having a "kibud av v'eim" project for the next 3 weeks, wherein they learn all about honoring parents and we have to send in special notes every day saying how he did kibud av v'eim. This is very good for bribing him to listen to us...For every note they get a treat and at the end there is a big party and prizes...

Have a great week!
