Un-schooled

Since our big Chinese New Year break during the month of February, the girls haven't gone to Chinese Kindergarten. Instead I am homeschooling them and hoping to have Meili up to par for Kindergarten when we get home. But without many outlets or friends, here are some ways that mommy deals with having 3 children at home all the time:
*Go to Scott's High School next door (when the 10,000 students aren't there-which is rare) and go "scooter riding" on the girls' scooters, and don't forget climbing trees and hiking the hills.



*The kids also love it when I put on some classical "ballet" music so they can dance. They also help their brother get on his special dance clothes since he wants to do everything they do, even if it means putting on a tutu...

...or a princess costume. (To which Scott cringes at the mere mention).

*Errands with mommy. These always give us a chance to practice our Chinese skills because everyone stops to see and talk to the waiguoren (foreigner) children. We're going to miss how nice people are, but I don't think that we'll miss being pseudo-celebrities.

*And don't forget, just relaxin'

(by the way, I totally love picnik for fixing our red eyes at the click of a button. Pretty sweet.)
There aren't many pictures of "school", I guess maybe homeschooled means un-schooled.
