Our Halloween through the years!

Sprinklers

I am way behind but I'll do a general update a little later.  First some pictures:

We are trying to get our winter lawn to take with not much success.  The kids love the rotating sprinklers and played with them.  

Outer Space Expert

Sarah is currently in love with outer space.  She likes to tell me, often, that she is an outer space expert.  We have 6 books out from the library on the solar system and specific planets.  She has already informed me that we are missing some and need to go back and get books on Jupiter and Mercury among others.  I have to say that I am loving this obsession.  It's so much fun.

Tonight we walked down to get the mail in the dark.  I noticed 2 planets in the sky and guessed at what they were.  I was correct on 1 - beautiful, VERY bright Venus in the southwest sky and wrong on the next - Jupiter is currently in the southern sky.  I had no idea it could be seen so clearly and be so bright.  Sarah was very excited and ready to get a telescope.  Upon checking up on what we were seeing in the sky, I found this website from NASA.  It allows you to put in your state and city and check on when you'll be able to see a satellite or the International Space Station overhead.  How fun!  I love the internet!
