Judaica - Passover Ten Plagues (1st and 2nd)

Passover is one of my favorite holidays. It is the holiday where we have a festive meal with family and friends and we participate in the story of Passover. In our home it doesn't matter what age you are, everyone gets to participate. I have always tried to make my Passover Seder creative and interactive with crayons and stickers.  In 2001 I made our own Haggadahs that included coloring pages designed for everyone. We still use them and cherish every page that was colored by friends and family. 
This year I wanted to make something to decorate our table.  I will paint ten   4 X 4 canvas blocks to represent the Ten Plagues. I will make and post two a day for the next 5 days.
Can you guess which plague these blocks represent?

Insecticide Spray

I am still making lotions and potions with all of the essential oils I bought. The insect repellent (blog post 7/1/13) worked for about fifteen minutes before the mosquitoes decided the spray tasted like a marinade and NOT a repellent! The deodorant (blog post 7/3/13) worked but I would not recommend traveling with it. It was a melted mess when I arrived at our destination. I will make more and use it only in my home. My next experiment is a homemade insecticide spray. I adapted this one so my husband can use it on his garden. Insecticide Spray   1/2 head of garlic (you do not need to peel them) 1/2 T of pepper flakes 1/2 cup water   Process in a blender until smooth then pout mixture through a sieve to remove chunks of garlic or pepper flakes. This is your "base."   Pour your base mixture into a spray bottle. Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of Jojoba oil. Screw on top and shake.
