What a weekend. First of all – very exciting news – our oldest got his first dose of Pfizer vaccine!!! This must have been the first time ever that he was actually happy to get a shot. We are so happy that this is possible – that this vaccine works as well as it does and is now available for everyone ages 12 and up. There is a long list of things that I will feel so much better about letting our kids do once everyone is vaccinated (Sports! Orchestra! Movie theaters! Hanging out with friends without masks! – most of these things we are choosing not to do yet…. but soon!) It’s going to be just a little longer wait for the girls…
Saturday was an outdoor birthday party for a kid cousin. It was great – our kids love their cousins and they all had a blast. They spent hours at the nearby stream (catching things, not swimming). Kids got to hang out with grandparents and great-grandparents. It was a long day, and everyone was exhausted, but in a very good happy way.
Sunday, the kids had their last day of Hebrew school. The girls had a piano party at their teacher’s house (masked, distanced, etc, etc) to prepare for the Piano Guild. E had to record and submit an audition video for the local youth orchestra. And to top it all off, the kids had their final race (1 mi for for the big kids, 0.25 mi for the youngest). E won 1st place!!!
And then we had ice-cream.
Dear reader, it turns out that when things are hectic and stressful, ice cream may be just the thing everyone needs. Like a shortcut to bliss.
