blocks and lego and huge cardboard blocks that bring back memories of hours
spent folding those cardboards into block shapes years ago, and build with the
kids.
Start with Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) and add the walls around the
city next. Throw in some lego people and weeble-wobble people to keep things
interesting. Keep building until the kids get bored or the baby becomes
godzilla-like and knocks it all down. Hurry the kids into the kitchen to bake
chocolate chip cookies with Abba before they have a chance to get mad at their
little sister for destroying their city.
And peace reigns in the house. At least for another few minutes, anyway.
