Purim 2013

Here we are again, celebrating Purim, the Jewish holiday which most closely resembles Halloween. The kids decided to dress as a ballerina and...you guessed it....Spiderman. Again.

Despite our children owning multiple costume options, several of them quite clever and unique in my opinion (how many girls own an authentic Moroccan belly dancing ensemble?!)..... Lydia decided to go with something she wears every week to dance class and Will went in the exact same (now borderline too small) costume as last year.  Deep breath.  Choose your battles.

 That's "Spy-dare-meen" in Israeli-speak

 This young aviator known as "pilot boy" moonlights as Samuel ("Sam-Well"). He is Will's only English-speaking friend in gan.

                                                                        Solidarity.

                                                Lydia and her dearest friend, Danielle.

Lydia enjoys some bubble-time with her friend Tali, who I'm convinced will one day be the Israeli Prime Minister. She already has a head start on the current administration.  

And besides, who doesn't love a feisty flamenco dancer?
