Matzah, which the girls are eating a lot of this week, is extremely crumbly and messy – so much so that we asked the girls to sit at the table when eating it. Imagine my surprise, then, when I came across the girls doing this on Saturday. (They were having so much fun, crunching and munching in supposed secret, that I couldn’t get mad.)

In honor of Passover having started, a look at some of Avery’s recent (non-edible) creations from school.

Like her sister before her, Avery got to make matzah in class the other day. Here are some photos of the little bakers.

So the girls were very into April Fools’ Day yesterday. I tricked Zoe early (there was a power outage at the school and classes were cancelled, I told her when she first woke up), and she got me, too (“I have bad news, Mommy – there’s a rip in my backpack”). But when she got home from school she came up with all sorts of other ways to trick me and Q. I heard “April Fools!” so many times by 8 PM that I was very ready for her to go to bed.

Avery, in the meanwhile, kept calling it Apple Fools’ Day – so her dad jokingly told her it would be followed by Banana Fools’ Day, Orange Fools’ Day, etc… Not sure she bought it, though.
