SIESTA

I am coming back to finish writing this and my siesta never happened :) read on...

A for Effort, a mommy's life, gotta just go with the flow, Check out the meaning and origin,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siesta.  I just love naps, they were a big part of my life before kids.  My father is the king of naps, and I was the queen, but now they are definitely a luxury, in many countries including Spain and Israel, many businesses close, people go home for lunch in the middle of the day and take a rest - ahhh that is my kind of life.

So we are taking it easy today, our roof situation is yet to be resolved, they told us best they can do is someone coming tomorrow, hopefully an earthquake won't happen before then, please pray for us that the roof stays intact.  We went to the park, had some slurpees, it was super hot sun today.  Now just had some watermelon, apples, and cheese.  The watermelon was already mushy inside, not so good, luckily got a few good bites.

I took my oldest to his second Karate lesson, the first one he felt out of sorts, this one I got an amazing simple Karate outfit from a fellow mom, thanks LA Mommies, and he looked amazing, and it was just him and I, no distraction from the other kids.  He did great, I was so proud, I really found such an amazing passionate instructor.  Unfortunately once he starts school, he won't be able to go regularly, but I think even dropping in once in a while and going full on in the summer will be very beneficial, he has great potential, and its just what he needs for his confidence and focus.


We ended our day with an amazing celebration of a friend of our kids that just turned three and had his hair cutting ceremony.  We saw so many friends, the kids had a great time, Matisyahu was just all over the place, grabbing all the sweets, enjoying his first lollipop that he found all by himself, after all babies are the masters of sucking, he was a pro!

Finally put them to sleep, wow, they are so non stop.  Every morning I tell my oldest, Eli Tzvi what his name is depending what time he woke up.  Today his name was 5:30, and that is AM, OY!  All of them were up, and raring to go, JOY.

Oh the wonderful challenges of energizer bunnies,
May this be their energy for life,
They cannot get enough of living, Thank God,
and so it should be,
that is a healthy child,
NEVER ENOUGH,
as adults we need balance,
we also teach the importance of balance to our children,
Nutrition, Sleep, Healthy Active Lifestyle,
and the best thing we can do is live by example,
Be Happy My Friends,
Coach Yulia
