We didn’t do Valentines Day nearly as well as I would have liked, mostly because I was busy freaking the hell out about school closures.

Today we’re launching into the Chinese New Year {which for some reason I feel the need to celebrate with my family}, and tomorrow we’ll have our big Fat Tuesday feast.

Zion and I were working on, “Gung Hay Fat Choy,” and I hadn’t even made it to any Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras explanations, so I thought it extremely appropriate when he said, “Hey Mom, what’s the one about the fat joy?”

Exactly, I thought. Bring on the fortune cookies.
