Really you couldn't arrange this last night or get it on the way to school, we say nothing all through breakfast, watch TV and decide it must be done when I'm about to go out. Oh I forgot, that is the way they do it here. No communication until, I want to do it right now. Now that I'm thinking about it, isn't this how a child acts?
Last try for Chinese style finger painting. I think I remember a booth on the stairs of the Silk Market at Yonangli station. Yes, I was right. His weren't as good as the ones at the Forbidden City. But I did get a small one, since they don't have any books on this subject. They always tell you, my family is the only one that does...... They are so full of it. I just smile and nod.
Next stop Qianmen Street. My last meat on a stick and haw on a stick, and haw popsicle. I did happen to buy a few more scarves. I think I can stuff them into the neck pillow covers!
I planned to go back to the small garden to the left of the Forbidden City, but I can never find it when I'm walking and ended up on a very long walk around the block (45 minutes later) and hopped on the bus by Beihai. Supper smoggy gray day today.
Picking up the kids we took to carts to carry back all the stuff. Their buckwheat pillows, blankets, 2 in binder per kid, the rest of series of their work books each in a box and their backpacks. Now I don't know what to do, since I'm at weight. My father-in-law thinks I should keep every page as a good memory for the kids when they get older. No, I don't want them to be packrats like I am. I'll keep a couple of the artwork and I'll have to see about the work books they haven't done yet.
So my new beautiful painted glass bottle(that I just got yesterday), was broken by my youngest. I doubt they'll let me go get another before we go! I'd take the kids, but I fear they would break them all and I can't afford that.
