Hava Narisha, Rash, Rash, Rash

That's what the girls have been singing as they get ready to celebrate Purim. Robin jumped out of the gate first, deciding to be a giraffe.  After we decided that costume was a little too difficult, she settled on an elephant. After a couple of days of thought, Miriam decided to be a bear...Miriam's class at school is the pilim (elephants) and she decided since Robin was being the animal for her class, she should be the animal for Robin's class--dubim (bears). Creative kiddo. We are stuffed with hamentaschen...we made over 13 dozen for our neighbors and the nursery school classmates. The girls helped bake and decorate and stuff the bags. The Asch family really loves this holiday!
