T minus Tuesday

I will admit it.. I am a bit of an astronomy geek. When I know the space station is going overhead I will run out and watch it and wave.. like they could see me right? LOL Who knows.. maybe they look down and wonder sometimes if anyone is looking up!

Well we tried to watch the Minotaur rocket launch tonight. We saw something that in the end thought was just a plane contrail. But as I looked at photos others had taken of the launch it turns out there is a possibility that it WAS the rocket. Which is pretty cool!

So did any of you see it?

Surprised on Saturday!

Well.. I got a package yesterday.. a BIG one….

  When I opened it up.. or to be fair.. when my excited children opened it up this is what we found!

Book # 3 is out of the box!!

While on Amazon it is still on pre-order… you can get it now at the Annie’s website!

You might even have enough time to knit up one of the smaller blankets for someone for Christmas!

Later during the day.. my youngest son said.. I want to just jump into that box and cuddle up and close the lid! Now there is a nice testimonial!

Meanwhile my middle son, who has been asking nearly daily when these projects would be coming back to us, is quite happy..
