Mozzie freak. Important for the family before we light up our lanterns in the garden. But we ended up only using 2 mozzie coils as there weren't any mosquitos in the garden.
Lantern that we were going to play with. The 3 round lanterns were bought 2 years ago.

It's great to let our kids remember the lantern and mooncake tradition or else..our culture will be forgoten. As it is, the lanterns also so modern with Disney characters, etc..I miss those old traditional ones I used to play with made of clth shape of butterfly nad those with springy nose of a dragon!
still love those paper lanterns as compare to the battery ones. more traditional i think.
hey, mummy, u look so young ler...
