Meatless Monday Eggplant

So in my feeble attempt to get more veggies into my family I have decided to institute Meatless Mondays I found some really nice eggplant on sale this week so I decided to make eggplant parm. If this goes over well this will be added to our garden next year. We already have fresh basil on the deck so that's going in there too!  YUM YUM. I hope my kids eat it. If not, more for us!!!

EGYPT

We got to visit the Boston Museum of Science saturday and explored their exhibit on Egypt. We were not allowed to take pictures, except for this camel, but if you get the chance to go you should definately go. We explored for 4 hours! They had an actual mummy there and TONS of information and artifacts. The OMNI theater movie was amazing. This exhibit gets 2 thumbs up!! The subway ride home, packed in like sardines, not so much!

Summer Sign Language Classes

 This was our classroom today. We take a short break from our studies in the summer but when learning opportunities arise we jump on them!  This summer we are taking Sign language classes in a very pretty outdoor classroom.

 We learned our alphabet, so we could spell our names and we learned our colors as well.

It was a bit tricky at first but we caught on fast, even the parents.

 Going over our names again with Miss J.

 Practice, Practice, Practice

Making sure we learned them properly.

...Always take time out to smell the pretty flowers, especially in the summer.

 ...and never, ever forget to be silly~!

How is your summer going?
