Chopsticks and fortune cookies

With the Olympics starting there has been a little excitement in the house.  The boys have been learning about China and the Olympic games at school, so I decided to have Chinese for dinner last night. Prawn crackers, Pork & Sesame stir fry followed by fortune cookies & orange slices.  


The kids went crazy with the prawn crackers and chopsticks, they finally got to use their special kids chopsticks which we've had for ages.  They are joined at the top so the chopsticks don't slip out of your hands. 


The fortune cookies were kind of fun too.  


I liked Ethan's fortune "You find beauty in ordinary things.  Do not lose this ability."  Poor Donald received an old Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times."  They both kind of work well with the photo below,  but please don't look too closely.  


Interesting times!
