Dear readers, another year is over. Sometimes you can even sit on the balcony and not sweat from the back of your knees. In the morning we look at the crow that comes to bathe in the toddler pool (then change the water, not to worry). At the end of each day, I take something cold to drink and go outside to look at the sky. When I succeed, I even leave my cell phone in the living room and go out with a book. I've been trying to practice for a very long time...

(Study door opens furiously)
Great: Mom! So you know I ate the whole omelette!
Me: Okay...
Great: So I can popsicle!
Me: But you've already eaten one.
Great: But Dad already let me.
Me: So if he already allowed, then why did you come?
Great: I've come to tell you that you can't tell me I can't popsicle because Dad already let me (go).

Where have I been? Oh yes. It turns out this August scared me a lot more than I should. We set up an improvised water park on the balcony and the neighbor downstairs, who...

Relatively peaceful and even the heat didn't win or...
(knocking outside the door)
And even the heat didn't beat him...
(crying)
Me (opening the door): What happened, Mami?
Small: aaa!!!a
Me: I didn't understand.
Small: Anyaa
Me: What? What? I don't understand.
Small (suddenly coming to its senses): What are you eating?
Me: Yellow cheese.
Small: Is it also possible?
Me: Take it.
Small: No, I want yours (sitting on me, eating my cheese, spitting it on the table and going).

I enrolled the eldest in seven different creative workshops, so that she would get dirty in a regulated manner and outside the home, and she developed a grudge for liquid glue. Yesterday, she was supposed to go to a fun and teaching workshop (here I suspected) at the municipal library, but refused as soon as she heard that I was temporarily lifting the veto on the beach. I don't like going to the beach, because it's very important for me to stay in the shade and for the little one it's very important to drown, and also because...

Great: Mom, is there anyone who has both baldness and bangs?
I (mumble): God help me.
Great: Mom, when will Alex come to me?
Me: On Wednesday.
Great: When is Wednesday?
Me: In three days.
Greatness: That means the day will be over.
I (aspire): ...
Great: And then there's tomorrow.
I:...
Greatness: Then there's the day after tomorrow, and then there's the day after tomorrow.
Me (exhaling): Yes.

And also because the last time he lay down on the floor of the wardrobes and I had to shower him with alcogel.

Big (turns out it's still there): Can I watch TV here?
Me: No, I work.
Great: So can we have another popsicle?
Me: Dory, really!!
Great: (ran out).
Me: Close the door!!
Me: (got up to close the door).

The rest of the time (M.K.L.I.D.E., C.L.A.O.T., B.A.C.B.I.M.) we try to spend in a quiet and educational game: the older one carefully calculates where I intend to go at home and stands on my way, and the little one plucks leaves from the plants. In terms of attractions, I'm against it, because I don't like to pay money and suffer. Each of them separately is acceptable to me.
However, we've visited the aquarium, safari, natural history museum and theatre (Gesher's Odysseus Travels – a superb show), and bodies of water...

(Shouting)
Small: I didn't want darkness!!
Me: But it's morning now.
Small: Dory closed the shutter.
I (shouting): Mommy, open the shutter!
Big (shouting from the living room): But then you don't see the fire!!
Me: What fire????
Small (starting to cry again): I was scared!!
Me: Dory!!
Great: Good, good.
A cricket phone with a message from friends: We're here in the area with the kids, is it appropriate for us to jump?
Me:(I gently close the computer. I put back on the chair the pile of laundry that was on it, take a schlock of coffee and jump off the balcony).
