Maybe Home Schooling Isn't Such A Bad Idea

Yesterday was a bit of a stressful day, as it rained all day and we REALLY wanted to go to the pool. We kept looking out, hoping to see some blue sky, but it remained cloudy and wet, and thundery and lightningy, all day until about 6pm. So we did lots of crafts and watched some DVDs. There is now glitter everywhere, even Charlie's ears. Still.

It has been hard to keep them occupied. And when it is stiflingly hot outside or raining, it makes it worse. We've been to Wise Kids Playroom (nearby educational playroom that has hour and a half sessions), lunch with daddy (who is in London this week), swimming, watched DVD's galore, cycled and scootered til their legs almost fell off, watched more DVD's, been to Ocean Park (it was great that James took a day off and my cousin came to visit!), watched TV....now I'm all out of ideas. We'll have to loop around on the ideas now. But I'm not sure what I will do long-term, as today I read in the South China Post that:

The two-week suspension of kindergartens, primary schools, nurseries and special schools was due to end on Thursday, but sources said schools would remain closed until the next academic year in September because health officials believed the move would better protect children.

Are they SERIOUS?!?!?

Someone just shoot me now.
