Chinatown?


Olivia and I spent some time yesterday creating miniature Chinese Lanterns. She got a pattern for one in a McDonald's Happy Meal and that reminded her that she had watched a show on Noggin which talked about lanterns...one thing led to another and we were coloring, cutting and taping! At one point, she tired of coloring and we cut some pages from a magazine. We strung them up to surprise Brillo Man...I think Olivia thinks we're having some kind of festival...she sure is excited about her lanterns!

Promise you won't notice that the exercise bicycle in the background is being used to hold a beach towel and a grocery bag of cans of black olives from the store!!! (ahem.)
