Sunday Snippets - Holiday Card Outtakes

Lest you think that having a bit of skill with a camera makes it easy, these are just three of my MANY, MANY attempts at a decent photo for this year's cards... (Notice I said decent, nowhere did I actually say "good". Sigh... At least they had fun with it.)

And now for the long-awaited snippets (humor me, pretend you've actually been waiting for them) -

• Last week's cold has left me completely and utterly unable to speak. I can barely croak.
• The other possibility is that the culprit is all the smoke I inhaled the other night when we turned on the oven to bake bread, not realizing that something had spilled all over the floor of the oven. 
• In case you were wondering, it's not all that fun to have to open all the windows in the house and crank up the fans in the middle of a December night, even if that is December in Israel, not Siberia.
• My daughter just received a sno-cone machine as a belated birthday gift. 
• She isn't letting the falling temperatures dissuade her in any way from her love for sno-cones.
• I however am cold just thinking about it.
• Also, my head hurts from all the coughing and croaking.
• It's making me cranky.
• Luckily, Itai has mastered the fine art of making his mother a cup of tea. Speaking of which...

So, what's on your list for this week?
