Hey everybody – Happy Purim!  Mommy was at a conference in D.C. the weekend of March 11-12, 2017 so alas, no hamantaschen were baked or consumed in our house this year.  She did bring us back a grogger (a traditional holiday noise-maker) which we enjoy quite a bit.  It’s so loud that it’s been relegated to bath-toy, and it may “accidentally” disappear altogether pretty soon.  We’ve also been reading Sammy Spider’s First Purim, which Jack especially has been enjoying.
