Tacconelli's

It's Friday already!  Last Friday, I made Ariel a capybara and a polar bear.  
This is what happens when the print fails.
That night, I met me high school friends for dinner at Tacconelli's Pizza.  For those of you who don't know it, it's a famous place in Philly where the oven is over 100 years old and they can only make 1 pizza at a time.  Because of that, they can only make a limited amount of pies each night so you have to reserve them ahead of time.  We figured out, I hadn't been there for 15 years!
There is the oven!
The guys!
We pigged out.  We got 5 different pies and pretty much much finished them all.  




I even ran into a fellow cheer mom!  Have a great weekend!

Milkshakes

Last Thursday, the girls got ready for school.  
They actually took the bus instead of making me drive them.  
This house by us had a fire the night before.  So sad.  
That night, I took ELi and Ariel to Nifty Fifties for dinner.  The world's largest soda fountain!
We ordered lots of yummy things.  
Milkshakes!

Smothered fries!
Then we went to Costco.  

Always a fun place for the kids.

3D Printer Land

Last Monday, we reviewed Eli's 3d printing list.  His friends have very specific requests.  
We made a huge King Kong.  
He came out cool.  

After school, Ariel did some sledding with her friends.  


I love the little concerts we get on Mondays.  



We decided to organize the 3d printing.
We built a new stand.  
Look how nice it came out!
Last Tuesday, we printed a Strawberry Elephant.  
Ariel had lacrosse that night.  
She got a ride so I didn't get to watch.  
Last Wednesday, I picked up Ariel and Fionna at school then went to Fi's to get her stuff and see the puppy.  
Fionna came to sleep over.

Purim Carnival

Last Sunday, I took the boys to Hebrew School then stayed.  Ariel and Emily were there getting ready for the Purim carnival.  
I was there for the service.  Ariel's class also participated.  

Ariel's big moment!

She had fun talking to a little boy.  
Packed house.  
All the 8th graders!  
It was a cute play.  
Carnival time!  It was crazy!

The twins played games for tickets.  
The two best workers!


Let's count our tickets!

Noah tried his luck at Ariel's game.  

Eva was working too!
All the helpers!
The synagogue gave us a Purim basket of goodies.  
Ariel went to see Artie.  
Eli was lost in a virtual world.  
Ariel is still bedazzling!
We went over to Melissa's house to celebrate Mark's birthday.  My parents and Amy's parents and Bev came too!
Honey got a haircut!
Happy Birthday Mark!

Sibling cuddles!
