So, the tradition here is that you go home for CNY and when you return to your work city, you bring traditional foods from your hometown to share with your friends. Well, it seems that this year is the year for FRESH poultry! Yes, those ducks are just enjoying their ride in the back of the car and I just LOVE the saran wrapped chicken/hen to the hood. Too funny!
Here are a couple more from my friend who was traveling on the roads...and yes, they are always alive.
but I think this one was a little overkill...are they going to start their own farm? ;) I guess they just have lots of friends.
I think it's funny that My husband who is not a cat fan has 2 cats that like him :) Gracie loves to watch what computer and tv screens.
Lauren's little friend asked her to come do fireworks the other night. They had already had showers and getting ready for bed, but I didn't want her to miss out on that. SO, I took Lauren and Katherine down to watch. This picture makes it look bigger than it was. It was just a couple that went in circles for a few seconds.
I was trying to get a picture of the rest of our crew trying to watch from the balcony. Our family has been really sick still so I wouldn't let them all go out. I probably shouldn't have gone out, but was ready for some fresh air.
The boys got flowers for the girls on Valentine's Day. So glad they can smile even when they are sick
Hudson gave some to Lauren.
And Jonathan gave some to Katherine.
These were mine (sorry...no pictures of a sick Mom)
This was what we gave to the kids....sweet tarts and oreos. They were so happy!
Even this little guy was super happy. He was trying to hide because he had a tear rolling down his cheek because he didn't get any flowers. He was fine once he realized he got something, too. :)
This just made me happy.
I love playing ball and was glad that she wanted to for a bit.
Benjamin designed a new house for us on paper and then started building it with Legos. He's like his daddy!
L loved the living room...guy watching Star Wars on the couch
and the bathroom...so creative...even has a little guy on the toilet....haha!
The little ones got to do their first poster project. I really left it wide ope for them. They needed to choose one kind of flower to do it about and I gave them free reign over the craft box!
Lauren did a Dahlia flower. She told us all about how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly and then it lands on a flower and the pollen sticks to the butterfly and is taken to another flower to make more beautiful flowers. :)
Katherine chose fox glove. She made her flowers 3D and even had a scale (on the left) to show how tall the flower would be compared to herself. I was quite impressed. We did not give them any ideas...just let them go with it.
Hudson chose a pansy (and maybe some palm tree?) :) He said that it was a flower. It is called a pansy and it's small. :) They did so good.
