Trying times with the two Mice....

Today, LittleMouse 1 and LittleMouse 2 had their fittings for their school uniforms....actually, I'm not sure if it could be called a fitting, since neither one of them would try anything on. I used the drape it overtop/see if its long enough/wide enough method. I guess we'll see when the order arrives next month if we got the sizing right. I'm trying to think of ways - other than holding them down while I get them dressed - to get them excited about their uniforms. Really, HM2 won't be much trouble - its her brother who is very picky about what he wears. No buttons, no pockets, only jeans - the exact opposite of his school uniform! Should be fun come September.

It was quite hot while ordering the clothing today at the kids' school (they both start pre-K in Sept). HM1, being the thinker that he is, has an epiphany of sorts...he asked me, "Mom, its summer, right?" I answered, "No, but it will be soon." He thought about it for a few seconds and then replied, "No, I think its summer. Spring got cancelled." Sure did feel that way today :)
Getting prepared for the hot days in China.... 16 days away!!!!

There's no place like home....

I'm fighting the urge to start packing...ok to start packing some more. We have 5 weeks until travel and I'm not sure if its entirely healthy to stare at luggage for that long...and I don't exactly have a spot where I can just set it out of the way. There is no out of the way when you live with two preschoolers, especially since they have commandeered our spare bedroom...seems like they enjoy the VCR and the comfy place to watch Dora more than I enjoy one neat, orderly bedroom in the house....cause that sure isn't going to happen in any of the other rooms of our house...did I mention previously about the possible OCD thing with order...unfortuantely, it doesn't seem to translate into meaning the whole house....at least I have ONE neat place in the house....the hallway linen closet. I'm thinking I may need to post a pic of this closet in the future.

The little mice and I used the day to practice what hot and humid may feel like in China....no complaining here...we wait for this weather all winter long. I'm not sure that the heat and humidity of Ontario's South Coast can quite compare to the heat of China in the summer.In myhead, I picture the Wicked Witch of the West (or was it East?) screaming - "I'm melting! I'm melting!"

I'm off to troll the net for some interesting things going on in IA land......
