Over the weekend, I put a lot of time and effort into finishing the dreidel so that David could paint it and use it. After some endless sanding, I finally got it so it would spin properly. It's not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it spins. I'm so glad I bought Mark that dremel!
Then it went missing. It was my intention for David to paint it on Monday. Monday came and went, and the dreidel was still nowhere to be found. We scoured the house to no avail.
This morning I sat down at the computer to do some emailing and my foot hit something under the desk. It was the dreidel. A day late, but that's okay. We got the painting done and it turned out beautifully. He wanted it to look like a sunset. He painted the block colors and I drew the Hebrew letters on with a black permanent marker.
I made up a cheat card so that the boys could learn to play with the Hebrew letters. They used Skittles as Hanukkah 'gelt'.
