ROARRR!!!

HAPPY DRAGON YEAR!

Seemed like not so long ago I had also made this dragon hand-puppet with her two brothers. Our princess' version had "bracelets" from an ad (think green), haha!

It had been another busy week. Among other things, we were getting ready for the Pinewood Derby race.

Younger son's cub-scouts one was just over postponed because of the heavy snowstorm.

I am hoping to also roar erm actually just SMILE my way to the finishing line with my dental work$ rolled over from last year.

Really thankful eldest watched his meimei in the waiting room when the dentist squeezed me in for a look at my new complaint :(. The upside of that visit: as meimei was also amusing herself with my phone, I was able to start on the outstanding works. That saved me another drive there :).

To great health, and great teeth, too, hehe, in this Dragon Year! ROARRR!!!

Shovel, shovel!

Shovel, shovel...

So I could make it out of the driveway -- to go pick up the boys from school.

Yeah, Meimei helped me exercise (literally, haha!) the GAL-power.

And she helped me remember snow is beautiful and fun still ;).

Like a reminder not to let exhausting days or sapping moments detract us from appreciating what's in front of us. Having to brake, brake more driving in all that snow, spoke to me to try and slow down, too.

Dancing sibs

I thought it was sweet of the second Gor Gor to oblige her with a dance.

"And now, for the grand finale...," he announced, when I was fumbling with my phone, trying to figure out how to take these motion shots.

Before I knew it, he'd swept her off her feet, *gasp*!

But oops, the picture turned out so blur!

Could I have an instant replay, please???

That was when he said he could throw her in the air (*wink*), but -- no promises -- might not catch her!

Kids... hardly a dull moment!

TGIF! Three more days and hubby will be back to enjoy (share) them ;p.


(Some rough moments with peers, being pushed into a corner. Defend ourselves, be safe. But don't attack. I'm relieved my child chose to walk away from trouble. It takes two to tango. More than that, let's try and think peace, ya).
