Yes, I believe in resolutions.
I resolve to be better on January 1st.
I resolve on the 16th (birthday).
and on the chinese new year,
and each valentine's day,
easter,
or really any day that I have a chance to be better than last year.
The chinese invented the kite and dominoes.
Cami mostly likes building castles with them-
and we use them to work on colors and numbers-
this time we did a dragon.
The year of the Dragon is going to be a very promising year.
We made dragon lanterns-
Camilla thinks they are to dance with.
Listen closely and you can hear our cool chinese music in the background.
A nice college roomate gave me some when her twin sister was serving a mission- chinese speaking.
It never fails to make me happy.
Egg carton dragon (we're working on a name for him- any suggestions?) was the favorite.
I have never seen camilla be so careful and accurate with her glueing.
Most of our chinese writing looked nothing like writing- but both kids thought it was fun.
this one says Camilla.
and it was cami's idea to have "wEALLY bIg DRAGON TREE"
(I will take credit for that lovely artwork)
The day was finished with bell ringing to scare away Nain- some scarey monster
(usually played by Spencer- he always gets to be the monster)
and we ate crock pot orange chicken
thanks to crystal's recipe.
You made very nice day. Nice, fun Mother.
ReplyDeleteWhat does your dragon say?
Grr? what do Chinese dragons say? ( I can't see them saying grrr). Spence?
Well, may your New Year be fortuitously prosperous!
Okay. That celebrating valentines quilt. I realized not too long ago that almost anything patchwork belongs in my house.
