St. Martin's Day in Bucharest... or not?
How times flies, it St. Martin's Day again. Just like last year, we'll be having a lantern parade for the kids... or that's the plan, at least -- it's raining here in Bucharest.
Defiantly, I spent all afternoon making two lanterns for my boys. What do you think, aren't they nice?
We'll go out, come rain or snow. The boys will be clad in their full-body rain gear and if the lanterns die, well, that's what lanterns usually do on this day. (The traditional end is to go up in flames but I've opted for the electrical sticks again, wuss that I am.)
I'll let you all know how it was and maybe post a picture or two.

According to one of my favorite authors, they are very fortunate members of the animal kingdom.) Very cute. You're far more artistic than I am, or perhaps that comes with the parenting thing.
