Sofia enjoying the video games at the Purim Carnival on Sunday morning:


Monday morning, Sofia and I spent 5 hours at the mall, since it was so rainy /snowy/nasty out and she didn't have school because of teacher conferences again.
She checked out the rental carts:


did some rock-climbing in the playspace:


and enjoyed a bit of ice cream:


Monday night we all went to shul. I tried 6 different costumes on Sofia; this clown outfit was the only one she would tolerate:

Micah talking to the Rabbi:

(Micah was the "grey king" - he's not very hip on costumes sometimes).

After the Megillah reading, there was ice cream and dancing in the Social Hall:



Tuesday at MWJDS

Tuesday morning, we had a Megillah reading at the day school. Micah wore his new glasses (OK, they are NOT real. He thinks they are - remember the psychosomatic vision problems? I finally found a pair of frames with clear glass while I was at the mall. He loves them! And apparently they improve his vision.)


I was Madame Babushka, the famous gypsy fortune teller:


The Purim Ball was after school. I got some hair paint so Sam could paint his mohawk; I think he looks like a 70s punk rocker:


My sitter brushed out Sofia's braids and brought her to the Ball:
