Yoav caught me pulling at my hair today, a horrible habit I have had for years and cant seem to shake, and he said "I hate it when you do that". I asked him why and he said "It makes your hair go all squibbly".
I told him he will make a fantastic husband one day because he notices EVERYTHING. He was terribly embarrassed at the thought of being a husband!...

It's truly unbelievable how much wild life we see passing through the back garden - in the past year we have seen wild rabbits, deer, groundhogs, all kinds of birds, skunks, squirrels, fireflies and bats!
The squirrels are totals pests - we are growing peas, corn & cucumbers from seed. We put them in window boxes up on the deck so that the birds and squirrels wouldnt get to them, but I wasnt really thinking straight about how birds can fly and squirrels can jump!! They just hop up to the deck and sit in the boxes. Anyway, we have miraculously managed to grow 2 pea pods and the corn is well on its way. The cucumbers have flowered which is a good sign, but i'm not sure whats going on under the soil...

I am having a great time at camp teaching swimming. I have learned a great new skill in the pool- under water vacuuming! I wish i could get a photo of it, its hysterical! Today was Olympic day which was a lot of fun. The campers marched round the camp in their country's group, holding their flags while the Olympic music blasted out from the gym. They had a very dramatic opening ceremony with the American national anthem and the Hatikvah and at the end of the day, everyone came home with a medal, so they were all 'happy campers'!

We took the kids to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania on Sunday. What an amazing place! Elinoa and Yoav were pleasantly suprised by the amount of rides for big kids and the absolute highlight for Millie must have been meeting 'The Count'. I loved the parade and got far too excited about meeting all the characters up close - maybe I am making up for all those years as a kid where people dressed up in big furry costumes frightened the life out of me!!!
