It is Chinese New Year Eve, I have cleaned and tidied and there is a lot more to do but I am tired and over it. I have done some major things and added some special items in certain areas of the house to help with feng shui. I was using the flying stars for 2012.

It would be mighty nice and great if this water dragon will give us better luck than the rabbit did for 2011. I suppose we will have to wait and see.

Today James was tidying up as well. He finished his work in the yard and the girls helped. Lillian was later playing with his measuring tape (the metal ones), she is o.k, I was just worried and asked her what she was doing. She said that she was measuring. I asked what she was measuring. She then told me it was the rock. She came in as asked and I then asked her how long it was? What was the measurement? She then thought long and hard about it. She then told me it was “many”. I think that is just very cute.

Lillian copied her name on the keyboard twice and was so clever at some other computer tasks. Julia is managing to understand how to use the mouse and to move it and to click on things she wants. The girls are taken with a game on the seseme street website that they can colour with just the computer.
