Today was Columbus Day, and all the kids were home. I took them to an open gym at Kidville in Bethesda, which is where I take N on Tuesday mornings. I wasn't sure if they would let the girls in, who are about 6 years older than most kids there. They didn't bat an eye, so I rushed all three of the kids into the playroom. The girls were fantastic! Not only did they help with N, they also played with a lot of other kids there, who seemed to gravitate towards them. One boy kept taking their hands and pulling them away so that they would play with him. I got a lot of compliments on the girls from other moms, who thought that they were not only very sweet but also great with the kids.

Here are some pics:

This afternoon, the girls had piano lessons at Grandma's house. Then M went to baseball practice and then Chug Ivrit. A just went to Chug Ivrit. N came grocery shopping with me, which slowed me down considerably because I had to keep kissing him every 10 feet or so.

We've been playing Apples to Apples every night – this will be night #3 in a row. It has been a lot of fun and the girls love it.
