Pumpkin Carving and 5 1/2

This past weekend we carved our pumpkins!  AlteLu chose circles for hers, and Hershel wanted a face that was "a little silly and a little scary."  I think we achieved these goals!
Today Hersh is 5 1/2 (!!!!)--how can this be?  School is going well for him.  He is learning so much Hebrew, and feels good in his newly forming friendships.  Science seems to be a favorite subject, and when he doesn't second guess himself, his reading skills improve.
AlteLu is just delightful.  Lots of abstract ideas becoming reality.  She loves school, and is the best errand partner I've ever had:)
