Anna baked the challah for our Shabbat celebration on Friday night

Our weekend began on Friday with Anna wanting to do a formal shabbat celebration. When Jude was in third grade (when they study Judaism in the Waldorf school) we had these nearly every weekend but for Anna we have only down it a couple of times. So, Anna found a recipe for challah bread, kneaded the dough and wrapped the braids to make the challah. The result was a delicious warm bread to have with our grape juice.

The weather was fantastic this weekend, the warmest of the year so far with both days close to 80 degrees. Jude had soccer on both Saturday and Sunday which made him happy. He also scored his first goal of the season and played well during both games.

Anna after her golf lesson with her new bag

Anna decided not to play soccer this season so she has had tennis and golf lessons. Tennis ended this weekend, it was just a four week program but Anna would like to continue to play. She is in the middle of the golf program and she seems to like that too. She also loves the accessories and we had to buy her a new bag because the one we got her last year broke. We picked up a nice $5 used bag that she loved.

There was more baking tonight as we made our own pizza from scratch. This was something we used to do regularly a few years ago and it was Anna’s idea to do it again. Marcy made the pizza dough and we each made our own pizza with our favorite toppings.
