I have had the two kids for over a week now (Moses is on winter break for 3 weeks) and I have managed to survive. Thankfully, Moses is interested in learning to write his numbers so he is happy to trace and draw and Seraphine does not mind copying everything he does. We stayed in for the morning then went out for some afternoon diversions.
We stopped by our favorite fry shop which sells freshly fried french fries sprinkled with salt and pepper, went to pick up High Speed Rail tickets, and then stopped by my favorite dou hua stand for steaming sweet soft tofu with red beans and barley.
On the way home we walked through the Teacher's college. Moses suggested we explore the art building. At first I was not so keen, but he was insistent. And I was glad we decided to go in. We explored the art studios and pretended to be painters and sculptors. I introduced him to the various supplies in the studios. We admired the paintings on the walls, and even got the chance to observe a student producing a huge ink painting. An hour passed quickly and before long we were on our way home in time for dinner.
Except for Seraphine's temper tantrums on the way home (good thing the college is just next door), it was a nice and easy afternoon with the kids.

Which one is your favorite fry shop? Red beans and barley now instead of green beans and barley? :)
