I didn't make challah this week. I went to two grocery stores and neither had the flour that I use. Luckily I still had some challah left from Yom Tov in the freezer. Everything was going smoothly (I even picked up some beautiful flowers) until the last minute when I picked up a pot to move it and burned my hand. Well, I spent the next six hours with my hand on ice. Abba and the girls went to someone after dinner and got some cream. B'h it doesn't hurt anymore.
Things are getting a bit chilly here. It's been back and forth, but it was definitely coat weather today. I took Yak and the girls to the mall so he could use his birthday present from Grandma E. He picked out a hat, gloves and matching scarf to go with his coat. He also got some other clothes. Yak must have grown or else all his clothes shrunk because the pants he got before school started are 2 inches too short. Thanks Grandma E for the great present. 
Tomorrow is a PD (professional development) day, so no school for the kids only the teachers have to show up. Today (Sunday) I went to school for an hour this morning to get some paperwork done. When I got home, I was happy to see everyone getting along. The girls had gotten cozy and were reading on the couch. It's a toss-up what Jake loves more... being read to or just snoozing.
As for knitting, I finished a scarf today. The yarn is a specialty yarn from Japan. The scarf is knitted lengthwise. It's a variegated yarn (mohair, wool, nylon mixture) with loops on it. In this picture, it is folded in half. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and it was easy to make. I worked a bit on the orange sweater today. I hope to have it finished this week.

Hi again, SuAnn. Your blog has very quickly made it to our list of favorites on the computer - right along with Tetris, Suduko and "Kochav Nolad" (the Israeli version of "American Idol"). Like I wrote Mom last week, "I wish I was motivated enough to find time for something like that..." Really, Kol Hakavod.
I was reminded of prehistoric days - if memory serves me correctly, you majored in journalism at CSU? I guess what goes around comes around. And I think Isser was into photography way back then.
