Last night as we were leaving for tap, Jack & Maddie couldn't believe how big & bright the moon looked. I couldnt believe the sky was clear!! We've had such cloudy days recently, I've missed seeing beyond the overcast. They were full of questions about the moon...is it a planet?, are those really craters you see? we had a long q&a on our 10 minute drive. I need to brush up on my astronomy.
We definately thought the star to the left wasnt really a star, but a planet. I did a little reading & found out that Mars will be just left of the moon tonight & it will look very bright & red too.
So tonight for the stargazers/skywatchers out there..around sunset the moon will appear the largest & we will have the biggest, brightest full moon of 2010. I cant wait to bundle up & hope for clear skies again!!

Stuck up a Tree..call 911
Today when we left violin lessons, we saw a fire truck with it's siren blaring, racing down the street. Without any doubt in her mind..Maddie says, "..someone must be stuck in a tree!" Love the 4 year old thoughts of the day:)

She & Him & Other Stuff..
I have been working on a very cool purple knitted sweater for someone little...Maddie isnt really excited about it, but I love the pattern & am hoping that she will like it when it's complete.
Yesterday we celebrated John's 37th bday. The kids & I worked hard on a yummy birthday cake..chocolate cake with peppermint buttercream icing...hmmmm, not much left. I love making bday cakes!
Love this song..M Ward & Zooey Deschanel; "She & Him" is their group. Very 60's sound..she looks & sounds like a young Loretta Lynn.
