Shooman Family: Another wonderful weekend

As the kids get older, they are involved in more activities, and are invited to more parties and our schedule is getting more hectic.

Every Friday night, we light candles for Shabbat, and say our prayers for the candles, wine and challah over the phone with Bubie and PopPop. Here is Nathan getting ready. We can't wait until Bubie and PopPop get home and we can have Shabbat with them in person!

On Saturday, we had ballet lessons, followed by a birthday party, ran a few errands, watched the Terps basketball game (so sad they lost, but was surprised they were even invited to the Big Dance!) and fit in a tea party before getting together with friends that evening.

Sela loves this pose -

And, here is her pose which says: I have had a long day, I am tired and not too happy with Mom

She did have a great day though, including a tea party in her little house:

On Sunday, we went to the circus with Aunt Sherry. Unfortunately, the battery in my camera died on the way to the circus. We had a wonderful time. Nathan was very excited to watch the motor cycles drive around inside the round cage, Sela loved all the pretty costumes and was fascinated to watch the elephants poop right in the middle of their routine. They didn't miss a step!

Before my camera died, I was able to get one picture of Sela and Aunt Sherry waiting for the metro train on our way to the circus:

I was able to talk Nathan into getting one of those pictures at the circus sitting on top of the toy tigers. He as more interested in touching their teeth to see if they were sharp. Sela couldn't be bothered to have her picture done, she was much too busy with Aunt Sherry!
