Well, our journey to observing the biblical holydays is hit and miss. After Rosh Hashana we totally spazed and forgot to observe Yom Kippur. Then we remebered Sunday that Feast of Tabernacles started on the 13th. Well, a mad dash to build a sukkoth without money or materials is a pretty daunting task. We had a couple of posts from the fencing left in the backyard so we used those. We had nails but could not find none of te hammers that we know we own. So we resulted to using a mallet for hammering, sheets for walls, common household staples, shipping tape, and some leftover screening we found in the garage. Talk about 'making due'. When we finally finished, I knew without a doubt that there was no way we were going to literally "dwell" in that thing, so I commenced to try to put up a tent from the 80's. It had about a million pieces (exaggeration), and it just did not happen. So we made a tent in the livingroom out of some comforters, clothespins, and thick string. The kids love it, and I have been dubbed "the bestest tent maker in the whole wide world" (Mekhi). Mr. Amazing (hubby) said it was the most ghetto-fabulous tent ever.
We did do school in the sukkoth yesterday, it was sorta fun (not!), but Mikaela thought it was the best thing ever. Savion liked it, too, but of course, Jaylem was not impressed. He just wanted to hammer something. That's all he kept asking about, 'was there anything else for him to hammer'. Depending on what time Mr. Amazing gets home, we might have dinner in it tonight. The kids want to roast marshmallows.... we will see if daddy lets them build a campfire in the backyard. Somehow, I don't see that happening. Might be using the oven for that adventure.

"And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles." Zechariah 14:16
