"Happy New Year!!"

But Mike...wasn't New Years' like 2 months ago??

Well...yeah...but not in China!! Apparently they celebrate the new year in February, so Zach's class decided to celebrate too! And, the good thing about only the first grade particpating is there's no long lines of people lining the halls! I tried to get some good shots of the boy doing his thing, but he's a slippery varmint. I did get a few pix though:

Zach: "So Dad, does my mask look Chinese?"
Me: "Well, let's see...does it say 'Made in China' anywhere on it?"
Zach: "Actually, yeah...is that good?"
Me: "Oh yeah! If we can make egg rolls in America, they can make paper masks!"
Zach: "Spot on philosophy as always, Pop..."

Here is the army of kids marching down the hall in their giant Chinese dragon. They really worked hard on it, from what Zach tells me. And who wouldn't take the word of a seven year old, right?

It's hard to believe everyone is alomst done with school! Spring break is just around the corner. I managed to secure the Monday off that week so we might go to Seaworld or Six Flags or something. Always good to take time off from work. When we don't have a job, we find ourselves constantly looking for one. Then, when we get one, we find ourselves constantly looking for ways to take time off. I don't think we were designed to ever be truly happy. Maybe because we can't do everything we want to all the time. I have all these dreams about fun things I'd like to do all the time but there just isn't enough time. Maybe the idea of it is mor eexciting then actually doing it. Hmm...
