Purim Baskets

Dear Sis,

I woke up to these sweet faces:

Today we took some time to prepare for Purim. We assembled our purim baskets to share with three Jewish friends/families and our pantry donation box for the poor.

We made Better than Boxed Brownies last night, repackaged some dry apricots, and whipped up a batch of Spiced Nuts, just in time to drop off them off at the post office before closing.

New Blocks

Dear Sis,

Today we visited one of our neighbors. They gave William some foam blocks that their granddaughter is now too big to enjoy. As they were in storage, they suggested washing them first. 

William likes the foam blocks better than the wooden ones. He says they are easier to stack tall!

Love,

b
