Editor: I'm going to step in and insert a message in Léa's blog, purely for the pleasure of putting pictures. But don't forget to check the previous entry which is directly from Léa.

First when we came in, we spoke about Mamine and her painting exhibition. She had five paintings among the 20+ artists from the painting club who also showed their painting. Here is Léa and Mamine in front of Mamine's works.

At home, there is plenty of time for snacks, and both Léa and her brother love French bread, sliced and covered with butter and jam (or hiney, or just butter, depending on the mood) French people call it a "tartine" (tar-teen). And Mamine has a machine to peel apples, which is truly extraordinary : you can put the apple in, then just crank the knob and it will peel the apple and core it and slice it. At the end, the apple just falls into the plate.

So Léa goes to school every day from 8:30am till 11:30am, and 1:45pm till 4:45pm. The bus picks her up at the school in Abbécourt at 8:05 in the morning, and brings her back at the same place around noon. After lunch at home, which is right across the street, she goes back to the bus at 1:15pm and is home shortly after 5pm. In between she has school, with one recess of about 15 mins to rest and stretch in the morning and afternoon, each. I do not really know what they study, I will try to ask Léa to write a blog about it.

Lastly, she Léa was speaking about the "babyfoot", so I thought a picture would be worth a thousand words:
