Happy Peaster!

PURIM + EASTER = PEASTER

I love a good three-costume weekend. Luckily, the third one really just involved a pair of ears and a lot of chocolate.

Malena's school had a Purim parade on Friday, and all the kids dressed up. We borrowed a ladybug costume, because I just knew there would be 3,000 princesses or Queen Esthers.

Saturday she had a princess party to go to. All the girls dressed like princesses, and all the boys dressed like pirates. I'm posting photos of her hair to irritate Jackie. I braided ribbon into her hair and tied it in a bow in the back. I also bought a curling iron and tried to get all Toddler Beauty Queen'd up, but it was raining, and the curls fell the instant I opened the front door. She loved her sparkly shoes. We also had a playdate at my favorite park, which was nice for some quiet time, and we went for noodles later at my favorite noodle shop.

Sunday was Easter. Lamb, wine, and candy. You can't go wrong there.

Now it's Sunday night, it's raining softly outside my window, and I'm packing for a three-day conference. Three days. Nice hotel room. Good food. Expense account.

This is going to be the best week, ever.
