I started my day too early… at 4am.

There was heavy rain that woke me up, my daughter woke up as well, so I found myself reading together “The lion, the witch and the wardrobe”.

After a while we tried to get back to sleep… she did. I couldn’t. So I started cooking at 7am. Big Minestrone soup & Pasta Bolognese.

I saw there was no bread left so decided to make pita bread.

It’s the first time ever I tried to make it. I was surprised how easy it was. Soooo yummm !!!

I printed out some good Pesach games that I found online, laminated them and cut them so we’ll have new games for the long chag.

Then, I bleached the kitchen floor so it will be ready for pessach.

I noticed we all needed exercise. So we opened “Just Dance” Xbox game and started to move.

All of us did it. It was great music, with energetic exercise.

Is it just me or my days seem longer than ever? Can’t wait for Shabbat.

Second Pesach cleaning day…

Decided to set up the Pesach table and put the dishes on, instead of swapping the everyday dishes to Pesach ones, because nobody comes or goes anyway…

Decided to clean the fridge. Took everything out. Took apart all the plastics and started to play with water, bleach and soap. My daughter & I scrubbed all the pieces from inside. My husband joined the party and moved the fridge out of its niche and cleaned on top & underneath it.

It took us a few hours but now I can say it looks new & feels fantastic.

We took a break.

My son watered the veggie patch (on his recess). He called me to show that the new seeds grew a tiny bit. What a beautiful & quick start!

Had to make dinner. Oh… wait. I have another child, that had remote learning all day. Now, that school day was over for that one, I decided to delegate dinner preparation to him.

He made cheese borekas from rice paper rolls which is his favourite, my husband made some salad and my daughter made delicious quick’n easy pancakes.

Wowww! It’s the first time I actually made no effort for a meal. And what a fantastic meal. Hmmmm…. I love that idea.

We learn new things every day.

The inevitable pessach cleaning had to start somewhere…

Let’s begin with the hardest tasks, I announced.

So I started with the games cupboard and its mess, chess pieces everywhere, instructions without their games and more surprises. I managed to organise it neatly then moved to the coates cupboard which had such a big mess underneath. Ticked that as well.

While doing that, I sent my daughter to sort out…… PAM PAM PAM…… my worst nightmare: the socks. We have a special blue box, that its job is to keep the single socks.

I don’t know about you, but it seems like there are more single socks than pairs, and the pile is getting bigger on every washing. I don’t get it. How come the single socks disappear, not on the way to the washing… but inside the washing machine? Is that a big hungry washing machine or what?

Hooray!

After 2 hours of sorting it was done.

We had to rest after that, and became so hungry, so we decided to make some yummy vegetarian dumplings! They are my favourite! It’s a long and messy job, but we eventually made plenty of them. We ate them with an Israeli salad on the side. Just Delicious.

Hope we will be able to organise our lives like we do on Pesach. Only because we have to…
