All moved in

Yeah I'm not living out of suitcases!  We left all the summer clothes in the suitcases and stored them, and the empty suitcases in the closet.  Our coats took over the coat closet, so the in-laws store their coats in their room.  Their bed is cool it lifts up on hinges to revel storage in the box spring.  Pretty much all of the clothes we brought is not making it home.  I was told I could go shopping.  Who is going to turn that down?  So I only brought 4 pairs of pants with me.  At home I had a dresser and closet plus off season clothes in storage.  Here I have a little cubby hole of clothes and 1/4 suitcase of summer clothes in storage.  Toothbrushes are hung up in cute little suction covers.  They don't make their beds in the morning.  They unmake them, fold it all and put it in a pile.  The boys love the water cooler that has booth hot and cold water and is just their size.   But it's kind of dangerous giving little boys little china tea cups on marble floors.  One already C-R-A-S-H-E-D!  So we found the cutest plastic cups sporting some amusing chinglish:

"Healthy Happy

You tired of your work

Always give yourself a holiday to enjoy the sunshine

We should be like an elephant running funn the sun"

The lights to the bathroom are outside.  Which is fine during the day when some light comes in, but I always shut myself in the dark room.  The bathroom also doubles as a laundry room.  Maybe that is why it was originally called a wash room?   We use a hamper for the boys clothes and it was already full in 5 days.  That would normally have been 1 load back home, here it was 4 loads!  Luckily I don't know how to use it, yet.  We only have a washer, the dryer is a drying line over my bed that can be cranked up and down.  

My "bedroom"  overlooks a large Chinese garden, filled with a pagoda, walkways and fountains.  The reality, my bedroom is a slightly uneven fold out bed between a cold window and a hospital reminiscent dividing wall that I throw a thicker sheet over and clip the curtains together for privacy.  The view should be promising once it warms up and they put the water in to fill the fountains.  

The boys all sleep in a full size pull out bed.  We are trying alternating head, feet, head.  At home we used to stagger their sleep times or they would keep each other up.  Here we are not and they've been out with 5 minutes.  However third day in a row they've woken up at 6a!  So I've had to fold my self to fit the short end of a full size bed in the hopes of some more shut eye as well as keep them quiet and not wake everyone up.
