"Blueprints" followed by "Fashion Week" :)

That's how a wiseguy co-congregant described Parshat Terumah (a "blueprint special") followed by Parshat Tetzaveh (in large part, a list of the clothing to be worn by the Kohen Gadol/High Priest and the "ordinary" Kohanim/Priests), both of which I'd describe as  "vocabulary-builder" parshiot/weekly Torah/Bible readings.  Rabbi Ethan Tucker has insisted that there's no such thing as a boring parshah.  I'm sorry to say that I don't find his positive attitude contagious.  How would you make this interesting reading, both for your child/ren (if any) and for yourself?
