Another Busy Day

Wow-- weekends really fly by when there's so much to do! This morning was relatively calm-- Mommy went for a training run and then Daddy went out to conduct tryouts for his Maccabi soccer team-- but then things got unexpectedly busy this afternoon. First, Nana and Poppy came over to visit for a bit. Then, the weather was so nice that Mommy decided to take all three kids out to the playground with all of their neighborhood friends while Daddy was at tryouts. Miri and Opa stopped by with Cousins Jonathan and Naomi, so they joined the rest of the crowd at the playground and Daddy joined in on the fun when he got home, too. Then we decided with all of our neighbor friends that pizza dinner at a nearby restaurant would be fun, so all 23 of us (10 adults and 13 kids!!!) caravaned over to the restaurant. Despite the scary thoughts that might come with organizing that many people at an impromptu dinner, it was amazingly calm and enjoyable. We did, however, take up most of the restaurant (everyone in this picture is in our group. Ari is in blue in the center of the picture):
All of the kids were on their best behavior and Alex and Ari enjoyed MORE pizza (like they haven't had enough of that this weekend), french fries and chicken tenders. Let's just hope that we can get back on a healthy eating kick this week after our junk food weekend!
