Summer stuff

I've been trying to pull off getting the kids into summer classes for years, but this year we might actually make it!


Swim Class!
Luna is signed up for swim classes at the Y. I wanted her to get in asap, so we got stuck with the parental punishment class. It starts at 8.10am and goes for 30 minutes. YIKES! I'm up at 6 or 7am, but getting her up before 8am takes lots of noise and many many kisses. (Makes her scream like I'm setting her on fire, but it is what it is...)

Art Class!
The local theater/art house has summer art classes. They're 2.5hrs long. It's a really neat program. We're applying for scholarship for Luna because chunking out $90 a week when we're running in a deficit is impossible. Hopefully it will come thru. I'm running late on it, though. Going to have to set m'self up with an email for next year to let me know when to hop on the bus.
Each session is one week long.
Session 1 is "Orient Express" where they explore asian art.
Session 2 is "Circus circus"
Session 3 is "Art-tastic Masters" where they explore VanGogh, Matisse and Warhol.
Session 4 is "Wonderland" Alice & chums.
Session 5 is "Myths and Magic" super woot!
Session 6 is "Wild things" which is monsters and stuff.
I have no idea if the scholarship will be for one week or all weeks. I'll have to ask em.

Theatre Class!
I'm calling here too asking about scholarships. They only have 3 classes for her age and they're at the same time as the art classes. Grrrr. This is a small town, folks. Try to talk to each other. The theatre classes are 4 hours long each. There's really only one or two that I think would catch her interest, so it all depends on what happens with the art scholarship. It's $80 a session. If we can't get a scholarship, I'm off to beg folks for $20. All I need is 3 or 4 people to come off of a slice of cheese and she'll be in. If I do get her in, I'll post when the recital is so we can get some Grandma/Grandpa in the audience....
June 28-July 2 - Session 1 - Once Upon A Time
July 26-30 - Session 3 - Perfect Pets!
(The other class is about Teddy bears, cute but she's more into spiders and bats)


Wish us luck!
