But on the other hand, Chanukah is upon us! We have had such a fun time this year preparing and celebrating every night. Here's some pics if you are interested to have a look. The boys love taking turns each night lighting the candles and playing dreidel. It is something that the boys really look forward to. We are so lucky to have my wonderful grandparents coming to stay with us for the first time ever!!!!!( Oh my, the place looks clean, but is it?) They will be here for the last two nights of Chanukah and we can't wait to share it with them. They are the most bestest grandparents in the world and they have given and shared so much with me. I am excited that I will get to welcome them into our little hovel soon and return a bit of the hospitality and love that is always shown to us. I have never had people spend the night with me as a guest since I've been a grown up. Do I get an adult scout merit badge or something for this? Ha!
Back to the subject of the utility bill from a few posts back, our most recent bill was $142!!! YAY, how wonderful to have gotten our bill down that low. But of course the weather is turning cooler so we may have to kick the heat on soon but oh it was nice to have such a low bill. Of course with still hand washing the dishes and hanging the clothes up outside to dry, I hope that continues to help keep the bill down.
Much love and latkes to you all. I will leave you with a little Chanukah artwork and a Chanukah quote...
