Most cards done

Michael & I ran over to the post office this morning. I never can keep their hours straight. I hope I have the right amount of postage on the majority of the cards. i kept the heavier ones to be weighed and they needed more postage. I'm hoping the others are ok or I'll be getting 40+ back... We went to the bank also before coming home.

We had an early lunch since my dad came and got Michael for some ice fishing. They are going where it's safe to fish for a bit. It's too quiet around here. I got a few things done in the first 30 minutes or so and then wondered what to try and do next.... I can plan a whole day when he's gone but I'm not sure what time they are coming back so I don't want to start something and have him come home in the middle of it. Maybe I'll go read, or watch some adult tv ~ in other words not pbskids.

Sorry, I don't have the correct accents on my Happy New Year post.

Today we celebrated Tet, the Vietnamese New Year. It is the year of the Tiger.

We got to see a dragon dance and feed him lucky money for good luck through out the year. We had delicious food and had some fun. Michael also got to wear his new outfit- an Ao Dai- do not ask me to pronounce it unless you like hearing Vietnamese mangled beyond recognition. Michael had a blast beating a drum, running around and playing in a toy room set up for younger children.

After our party we came home. No nap today. I had to put the outfit in water to soak out stains. Why anyone thinks white pants on a young child is a good idea is beyond my comprehension.

We played outside for an hour. The mailman gave us our neighbor's mail which I put back in my neighbor's mailbox. Heaven only knows who got our mail. I wonder if the mailman comes in shelves fiction and genre at Roseville also....

Last night I was able to reserve our hotel for our WDW trip in Dec. Yes, it's early, but I got a great discount by booking this early and was able to get our first choice of resort. Thanks to all those who gave me input, especially Emily & Lynn. We will book our tickets and airline later. I think I might be able to get the tickets at MOA's Disney store from what the guidebook says, or I can always get them elsewhere.
