Restarting CSA
Last year we were a member of a CSA and loved it. Then the price started eating too far into our budget and we had to drop it. Aba had been skeptical about it, but soon grew fond of the weelky box of goodies packed into our fridge. Every so often I would do a search looking for something that would be more cost-effective. Last week I found two options! Both options are roughly half the price of our original CSA. The list of whats in the boxes is comparable. How to choose? We decided on a 4-week trial with each company. Today was box #1 from the first CSA.

Shopping x 3
Its time to clean out the girls closet...again.
The girls had been sleeping terribly for a month or so and I told Aba that I suspected a growth spurt was in the works. On Shabbat they ate. And ate. And ate. Then I dressed them in outfits they had just worn and not only were the skirts micro minis, but the shirts were midriff bearing. Not exactly the look I'm going for with the girls' clothing.
Needless to say, we are officially out of 2Ts and hust about out of 3s.
Baruch Hashem I found quite a few playdresses and skirts at Target recently so all we need are some Shabbat dresses, pajamas and some leggings.

Overheard: The Shabbat Edition
The funniest things are said over Shabbat. I don't always remember all of them, but I made a point of remembering a couple choice selections from last night and today.
Shira: I have idea! Let's slide down the stairs on our butts! (Sounds of kids sliding down stairs.) I win! I win!
Chaya: I wanted to win!
Batya: I want to win!
Shira: Lets do it again. (Sounds of kids sliding down stairs.)
All: We all win!!! YAY!!!
~~~~~
Chaya (on the way to the bathroom): I don't need the ring. I know how to hold on and I won't fall into the toilet. I don't like to fall in the toilet so I hold on to the seat and don't fall in.
We get to the bathroom and there is no ring on the toilet. Chaya falls in. I laugh.
Chaya: That's not funny.
