Its Been A Month!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys!! 

So, I HAVEN'T BLOGGED FOR ALMOST A WHOLE MONTH!!!! I just realized that and then I got really sad so I decided to do this blog!! Yea!! Oh and before I start you guys should look out for another blog on Sunday because I am going to a bat mitzvah on Saturday, so I'll write about that. So whats been going on in South Africa?? Well, last Friday we celebrated Purim at my school. Purim is a really cool Jewish holiday and its really fun to celebrate because we can dress up and the 6th Graders do these things that are like stalls, so each stall has one or two activities that you can do. My stall was with two of my friends, Anoushka and Yetta, who I showed in my last blog. The two activities we had were Pin the Hat on Haman, which was like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, only with Haman because he is part of the Purim story. The other activity we had was a raffle to guess how many Smarties were in the jar, and the winner got to take home all the Smarties. The cutest first grader EVER won the Smarties, and he came up to me the next day and said, "I already ate ALL the Smarties!!" HE IS SO CUTE!!!!! Sorry I can't say more, I have to go now to get ready for dance!! 

XOXO,

Leah

PS Remember to come back on Sunday and I'll have a new blog up for you then :)

Happy February!! :D

Hi Guys!! HAPPY FEBRUARY :D!!! So I know I haven't been blogging a lot BUT... the reason is..... I've been really busy! (I know, I say it every time... BUT THIS TIME ITS TRUE!! (I swear!!)) So, first things first, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to... HARRY STYLES!! His birthday was on the first and I am just saying random things right now but I just like to shout Happy Birthday whenever it is someone in 1D's birthday. Second things second, I have some COOL NEWS!! Some of you might already know this, but on Friday, I had a swimming "gala" (aka a swim meet) with my whole school, and my house, which is Maccabi, won by almost 100 points!!! It was really fun and exiting, but very long. The picture above is of me diving into the pool for the "fun race" which was swimming with a bib thing on. The girl who is standing to the side in the front of the picture is my friend Ruby. On Saturday, I went to the Waterfront, which is like a big mall, with two of my friends. Also on Friday (at least I think it was Friday.. I can never remember :D) we went to the beach to watch the sunset and here is what happened...








 On Sunday, I skyped with Eve (Eve, if you are reading this, that was SO MUCH FUN and we have to do it every week) and pretty much just lay around and did nothing because I wasn't feeling well. Today my mom went to Durban and I stayed home from school because I am sick, and I did nothing today except... NOW I AM WRITING THIS!!! So I can't say I did nothing! :D Bye!!
