Saturday we went to Chinatown and got our supplies for Chinese New Year. Jia was in the chest carrier for the first time in a long time and she quite liked it. She especially loved shopping in the Chinese grocery. Our first Chinese New Years party is on the 29th, another on the 30th, then the 3rd, 5th and 6th. Plus my B-day on the 4th. Phew. It will be whirlwind. I had hoped to decorate the living room yesterday but just didn't get to it. Eric was home (he rode Sat.) so he managed to lift the carpet/underlay and subfloor out of Jia's room. Miss Lacie has been peeing in there and we give up trying to keep it clean. So, it is always with much dread and crossed fingers that we start these projects in the 101 year old house. To our delight and surprise, there is decent wood floor underneath! Phew. It needs to be refinished but for now, it looks ok and it's clean.
