Allah is NOT a Mouse!
The kids have a Saba Tuvya DVD fdepicting various stages of the history of the state. They watched it today for Yom Ha'atzmaut.
One of the skits is about the pioneers having to complete a building overnight, because the law states that a structure with a roof cannot be destroyed/demolished. Within the skit are two Arab characters trying to puzzle out how these Jews managed to get their hands on so much building material and erect a complete building when at dusk there had been NOTHING there. (To be fair, the British are made fun of similarly, when the army captain can't find the building on a map, and is "astonished".)
Anyway, on seeing these two Arab guys on the screen, my politically left-wing bleeding heart DH made a comment something like "Allahoo akhbar" (Allah is great), which Emmanuel Tzvi heard as "Allahoo achbar" (Allah is a mouse). And promptly replied:
"Allah lo achbar"
"Allah chatool"

We are pacifier free!
And have been since erev Pesach. The daycare looked at me slightly askance yesterday when I brought Shai back without one, but too darn bad. After a week + without it I'm not about to reintroduce it. I just figured it would be an easier "battle" to win than the toilet training one, and if there's a relapse when baby arrives it will be easier to deal with that too.
Chol hamoed was quiet. Gilla took the boys to the zoo on Wednesday, so Kopul and I had the day to ourselves. We napped and took care of some stuff around the house. Booooooooring. But necessary.

HERE is the picture you've been waiting for!
The scanner at work is not very good, but here's what I could get.

New "tik"
Sigh. Emmanuel Tzvi's bright yellow knapsack (you know, the one that Mommy shipped that was MINE) disappeared the last day before Chanukah. Though I'm pretty sure someone took it home by accident, it has not reappeared. So we were using that see through plastic one we had bought for the plane. The stitching finally tore the plastic last week. So last night I pulled out a piece of scrap denim, removed the straps and the cord from the old bag, and revved up the sewing machine. 3 year old boys can be pretty hard on their stuff, so I hope the stitching holds up!
(Oh, and I found the leftover puff paint from the chuppah...)
