Link for your Monday
Via L at Schola, here's a handy phrasebook for Americans traveling to the E.U. this summer.
Eh, I had more links, but I've lost them.
I can't gather up much enthusiasm for Mondays. On Mondays the boys have art class. They love art class. Their teacher is just wonderful. However, art class is an hour's drive away. It's a two-hour class. So I pack everyone into the car, drive for an hour, and then have to find something to do with the little ones for two hours, followed by an hour drive back home.
Not so much fun for Mom.
Of course, there's really nothing to do in the area where the class is held. It's all built out, but with nothing interesting or refreshing. We could go sit in a McDonald's or a Starbucks and consume. Whee.
That's one of the things I dislike about this area. You have to drive everywhere. It's a 30-minute drive to get anywhere except our local library and grocery store, an hour to the nearest museum or zoo. An hour to classes. Soon you're spending all your time in the car, and who wants to do that?

That's a real bummer. I never liked trying to kill time with little ones in non-parks. :-)

Actually, I found a park. However, at 96 degrees F, I didn't feel much like using it :)
In honesty, I did leave out the fact that this art class is held at a homeschooling resource store. We *could* just stay in the store the whole time. There's a kids' play area. I've found, though, that if I do that, the $50/month class quickly turns into a $150/month class.
