В этом году мы посaдили огород. Точнее, я к этому имела мало отношения -- все делали исключительно мои мужчины -- Женя, Ари, и Илай.

Ari, Eli and I are going to the Discovery Museum in Acton tomorrow (Friday) morning. We are planning to be there right at 9am. If anyone would like to join us, let me know!

Does anyone have a Verizon cell phone that they are not currently using? My cell phone is dying rapidly, and I need it to last for a few more months. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!

I would love to do something special for Ari for Hanukkah this year. The problem is, at this time of my life my brain is not working very well (it leaked out with breastmilk, I think). Does anyone have any ideas/ suggestions, or wants to team up for some Hanukkah-related happenings?

Yesterday I had some kind of a stomach virus, which knocked me right off my feet for a day. When E. brought Ari home from daycare, we explained to him that Mama is not feeling well, because her tummy hurts. What did the little dude do? He went straight to his room to get his doctor's kit.
