Feb 28, 2010 - Art institute
All the museums on park district in Chicago are required to provide 52 free days per year. Each museum is doing it in a different way -- some have regular free days, some have free days scattered all over the year; the Art Institute chose to have the entire month of February completely FREE.
Of course Nicole and I remembered this on the very last day of February!
Since Ben had to work that Sunday, we took the kids and went exploring. It went better than we could have ever imagined! Peter was the little art enthusiast, he really had an opinion about the paintings and had ones he liked and ones he didn't like. He also saw things in the more abstract paintings. Alright Pete!
Ella was (as usual) happy to be around Peter. She liked the colorful paintings, and looking at the reading the program.
I loved Picasso. The modern art wing is absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to visit again. I think March will be a good time to go, as the open a Matisse exhibition! 
Feb 27, 2010 - Baby Beluga
One of the Beluga whales had a baby a couple of months ago, and the aquarium is gradually letting people view it. We went to a special members-only event (we felt so VIP) to see the baby whale. So cute! he was swimming alongside his mom the whole time. 
Ella was happy to be at the aquarium, as usual, more for looking at the other kids than for the actual animals. 
Feb 26, 2010: Purim
Ella got this cute little outfit from the Naozim (thanks Smadar's mom!). She wore it to daycare, and was the only one there wearing a costume, which she didn't seem to mind :)
Feb 21, 2010: good morning feet

i thought i heard Ella blabbing in her bedroom, which means that she woke up from her mid-day weekend nap. when i walked into the room, i saw a tiny foot sticking out.

Shmor Merchak
Every once in a while we see this bumper sticker in Chicago, it's white text on red, saying in Hebrew "keep distance". (you can't see it in this too-low-resolution picture on the car on the left). It's very common in Israel. Does anyone know how one would get one of these in the US?
