Purim Festivities

So in my last post I talked about making special cookies (Hamantaschen) for a holiday called Purim, and I've been out and about all weekend celebrating (leaving me not to much time for blogger and the huge pile of homework left for me. It's nearly 6! AHHHHH!)

So Saturday night I dressed up as a nerd, because costumes are part of the holiday. Like the suspenders?

My sis went as Hermione Granger

And my dad went as a NYC mugger.

Nice one dad.

We went to a small party---I was sort of bored there, only one other kid my age.

At least they had broccoli quiche.

mhhmmm.

Then I stayed up till 4 am attempting to do my psych assignment. I gave up halfway through. Then I woke up at 11:30 to finish, but I had to leave in the middle to go to a Purim Carnival

My day today was a tad more exciting. 

My mom knew I was tired/grumpy so she took me to Dunkin' Donuts. I always have a dilemma when I go there. See, I only like the cold "coolatta" drinks, but I feel like a total tool ordering a coolatta in mid-winter, when we just received a major snow-storm. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? And then I feel like a double tool because I know the people who work there from my school--so not only do I know I'm a tool, but they do as well.

Passed by a Hollywood Video. This sign made me LOL:

WTF? How can they even put that up? 

At the Carnival they did a Megillah reading (they recite the story of the holiday in Hebrew from a scroll).

When that was over, I watched my parents get a CARICATURE done.

 Then I got one done as well with my sister:

Getting a caricature done is one of the most awkward things ever. The people are paid to accent everything bad about your features. I was mortified sitting in that chair!

Luckily for us it didn't come out too bad!

I kinda want to make a new banner out of this ^_^

They also had a bounce house, cotton candy, food, different booths, laser tag etc. It was a lot of fun!

I squee'd when I saw the "sushi"

YUM.

"Profesional" Hamantaschen

Hate to be a creeper, but the guy in the brown shirt looked like Edward Cullen!!

Ohkay, I'm a creeper

Random costume people. The guy in the back was Ursula!

So now I'm doing more psych, then math, then English. Holy craps, it's 6:30.

Adios!
