CNY prep

Oh my goodness, I can’t believe CNY is only in a couple of days.

My preparations this year has been quite minimal. I haven’t even finished cleaning the house yet!

 

But I did get out some deco, and the kids and I made little lanterns out of red packets to hang in the kitchen dining area chandelier.

The girls thought that was quite fun, and I promised them  we will make more later this evening.

 

I also made some jam tarts. The girls loved them! But that also means that they were all gone in 3 days.

So the plan for tonight is:

·         Make more jam tarts

·         Make pineapple cookies (I already made the pineapple jam)

·         Make more lanterns with the girls

·         Get me Chinese red cloth banner (from my wedding) and decide where it can go

·         Get new shoes for Aiden (I finally realized his shoes are getting too small for him!)

·         Buy new tights for Kathryn and Chloe

 

Plan for this weekend:

·         Wash new clothes and decide what the kids will wear for the next couple of days

·         Swim lessons

·         Girl Scouts meeting

·         Trim the girls’ hair

·         Clean the house (i.e. clean the bathrooms, dust all areas, clean the windows, clean all door handles)

·         Dinner at a friend’s place to celebrate CNY

·         Aiden’s birthday treat – the New England Aquarium in downtown Boston

·         Reunion dinner at home (hot pot!)

 

I’m tired just listing these things………..
