PJ Library Rosh HaShanah Event

Yesterday I took the girls to a PJ library event about Rosh Hashanah.  They sang songs, read some stories, learned what a beekeeper does, made a candle and dipped apples in honey.  The event was held at Yavneh Day School, the Jewish day school in the south bay.  I need to win the lotto so I can send my children there.  Sabrina was on the younger side but she did great, she listened and paid attention.  Maddie had her bottle and then crawled around in the hallways outside.

Pizza and bouncy houses

LOL parties is a bouncy house place inside of the Silvercreek Sports Center.  We hadn't been in forever so when Elaine suggested going this morning I thought to give it a try.  Wasn't sure how it would go with two kids but it was great.  Maddie wasn't a big fan of the actual bounce houses but she really enjoyed crawling around on the mats.  Sabrina had fun playing with her friends CJ, Eliza and Neal.  The kid worked up an appetite so we headed over to the restaurant inside the sports complex and got the kids a cheese pizza.  Our only mistake was waiting until we got there to order the pizza.  We should have got over there while the kids were still playing and order the pizza, so it would have been ready and cooled down (because G-d forbid any of our kids eat anything that is hotter than lukewarm) as soon as the kids got there.  It took a solid 15-20 min for the pizza to arrive.  That doesn't sound like a long time but it sure feels that way with a bunch of tired and hungry kids.  But then the pizza came and all was well :)

Everyone say "cheese pizza!"

Back to the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum

We hadn't been the the Children's Discovery Museum in a long long time.  But with Maddie crawling I wanted to be able to go where both girls can have fun but Maddie's not trying to put every rock and twig she spies in her mouth.  So we recently had our membership renewed.  It was so much fun!  Sabrina told me she wants to live there.  Maddie's friend Oliven came to play with us too (Vander was in preschool - Shhhh!  Don't tell Vander we went without him).  First we went to the Wonder Cabinent, an area specially designed for the 4 and under crowd.  At noon I needed to give Maddie her lunch.  Sabrina didn't want to stop and eat, so she went downstairs to the bubble area while I fed Maddie.  We were there for two hours and there's still so much to see.  Next time!

Sleep over party!

Well, sorta.  We recently had the Walter's come over for dinner.  Casey wanted to stay and play games, so we put on The Little Mermaid, popped some popcorn and the kids had fun (and made a mess) while we played Taboo.  We played boys vs girls.  Somehow the boys won.  I'm pretty sure they cheated, there's no other way to explain why we lost :P

Eating Graham Crackers

While at a playdate at Arwen and Hazel's, Hazel wanted a graham cracker.  Well, Maddie had to get in on that action.  Yum yum. 

Look mommy, a graham cracker.  Buy these for me!

Las Madres South Valley 2010 Pool Party

The Friday of Labor Day we went to a South Valley 2010 pool party.  I love the pool.  Sabrina loves the pool, and now that Maddie is a little older she loves the water too.   We swam and played outside and swam some more.  A great way to start a three day weekend. 

How do we get over to the other side?
