I'm not sure if today is the actual day for Purim, but the synagogue had it's annual Purim celebration this morning. The kids got dressed in their costumes and we headed down. This year, the high school kids added games and face painting to the float festivities (the teams had to make a float to help Esther run from Hayman). Each member of the team also had to be wearing a hat (which is why the kids have paper hats on). After the float contest, we grabbed some (I'm going to wreck the spelling of this) hamentaschen...cookies with filling and headed home. I think the kids just liked being able to go out in costumes!

We made hamentashen last week. Some friends of mine were talking about it and totally got me in the mood. Then, Emma takes some to school for a snack and sits with her new friend who's Jewish and shared it with her. Taylor, was suprised she knew what it was.
