This town has about a million round-a-bouts. Elijah calls them round-a-towns. In order to leave our neighborhood we go through a minimum of 2. They are especially interesting when there is a lot of snow/ice (I will have to make another Wacky Wednesday about the snow removal policy here). Overall though, I would have to say I think I like them. I can get downtown without going to a single stoplight or stop sign. Not one. It is about an 8-10 minute drive.
Another funny thing about the round-a-towns is that a lot of people just drive over them. Marty thinks that is fun. I think it is probably illegal, but Marty still thinks it is fun - until he gets a ticket for it. I have never actually seen anyone (other than Marty) just drive over them. But people obviously do because there are lots of tracks in the snow.
A follow up on my post from yesterday. I do LOVE that I get to stay home with the boys. I am pretty lucky. Sometimes I just run out of ideas of what to do and the days are long.
Well, TV time is done. I now need to try to answer the questions of the last five minutes while I am typing this (because he saw that I got the computer out and was not engaging in watching Yo Gabba Gabba):
- When will my baby teeth fall out? ME: When you are six. E: Why when I am 6?
- What time is the babysitter coming? Is she here yet? Why isn't she here yet?
- Is the tooth fairy real?
- Is Yo Gabba Gabba real?
- Is Santa Claus real? How does he get into our house? Do you give him a key? Can we go look for the thing on the roof where he gets in?
- Can I write on your computer now? Can I sit on your lap?
In conclusion, Elijah is going to get on my lap and write on the computer. (Next question: Why did you write my name right here?)

I do like round-a-bouts; those Europeans are on to something. I, too, have never seen anyone drive OVER one. We have some "backwards round-a-bouts" here that I do not like. You yield when you're in the circle instead of getting into it. That just defeats all logic to me. I also do not like them when they are in tiny intersections, but I guess they do slow the traffic way down.
