So, the snow finally decided to come

Joshi had 2 snow days last week. But today we actually had some serious accumulation today. They reported 4 inches/ per hour. We've gotten a few feet and its still coming. And we finally got to make a snowman this year. The rest of our snowfall wasn't good packing snow.

Chinese New Year Party

The Chinese New Year party was fantastic. Instead of inviting 10+ kids and their possible siblings. I kept it down to Joshi's best friends (and boyfriend) and it was much more managable. The kids actually sat at the table to bead the Chinese New Year bracelet. There were 2 other crafts ( cards and scratch dragons) that even the little ones could do. We ordered WAY too much Chinese food and just finished eating the left overs today. And I need a new C N Y party game. We had a fierce competition of marshmellow/chopstick races. But we need a new game for next year... any suggestion?

Happy Chinese New Year

We are having our C N Y party tomorrow afternoon. Some of Joshi's school mates are coming home with her on the bus and we will have Chinese food for lunch and do crafts and play games. On the Jaylan front, he is still with us. Reunification is crawling along. He actually had an overnight visit with his mom this week. There are two scheduled for next week. We have mixed feelings about having him go. We will definitely miss him, but it sure was peaceful the night he was visiting his mom :0)
