several years ago the older boys established a traditional horseradish eating contest at passover. the goal is to see who can take the requisite large quantity on a piece of matzoh, eat and swallow and come out unscathed. eric prepares the horseradish from scratch and it can be quite potent. will and bob are, at least in this arena, the over achievers. sarah tries to keep up, but as can be seen, still needs a bit of practice.

tom, mike, samuel and marianna went exploring in the back yards yesterday and went to a favorite place, bamboo woods. they discovered a storm had blown over lots of bamboo stalks, so they decided to put them to good use and created a rainforest out of the swing set, complete with beanie baby inhabitants. they were busy ALL day with this whole set-up- making me a happy mom!
