Europe and Asia... All in One Night!

We had a very eventful Family Home Evening tonight.  First, Salem and Averlin had a Chinese dragon parade for the rest of us, I suppose in honor of Chinese New Year, which I had no idea they even knew was coming up.  Salem taped a homemade dragon mask to her face and they crawled around under a pink comforter humming "Chinese music."  Simeon was supposed to be the tail end, but he decided to poo the second before the parade started, so he was uninvited from participating  (yes, potty training was a big FAIL).

THEN, as if one cultural experience wasn't enough, we relived the monstrocity that was the burying of  unsuspecting Pompeii by a very ridiculous looking Mt. Vesuvius (hey, we tried).  Also, there were only two Pompeiians affected by the blast this time: Wicked Witch of the West from some McDonald's Happy Meal purchased long ago, and a nude Strawberry Shortcake doll.  It was Awesome. 

The first video is an encore performance of the parade plus Nimmy's (Simeon's name for himself) big CheeseFace that I could just about eat because it's so cute, but the stink of his diaper saved him from my cannibalistic notions.  The second video is the volcano amazingness which can't be seen too well on camera because 1) It was really fast and 2) I just about dropped the phone when it exploded. Ha! oops.

Okay, well, the video of the volcano was taking forever and I am too impatient busy to sit around waiting for it, so, sorry.  Try not to be too disappointed.
