Voyage {to Mars}





This was our 3rd annual trip to Houston for NASA's Homeschool Day.
{3 times may be the charm for us. Whew!}
It always seems to fall the same week as our wedding anniversary.
Romantic, yes?

It's always nice to see that we're not the only ones doing schoolwork in our PJ's.  There are MANY! ;)



This year's theme was Voyage.



The person who came up with this brilliant glitter project should have to sit in time-out.
{Did they not think of the parents carrying these during our stay?  Or bringing them home for that matter?}  Oh well.  It was all good.  They had fun... and the huge cup of red glitter that A-Nator dumped went right through the table onto the ground and NOT in my carpet.  Just sayin'.

 
 

The weather girls...
Be sure to catch them on your local news!



See?  This is why I could NOT be an astronaut {or pilot of any sort}.
There are hundreds thousands of little buttons... not a good mix when one can be a klutz {at times}.






This is why I'm ready to take my voyage to Mars...

"The surface gravity of Mars is .38 of Earth's surface gravity.  So, if you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 38 pounds on Mars. (100x.38=38)."

 Heeeellooo???
Womankind should have left Venus, skipping Earth, and headed straight for Mars!
If you know what I mean.

I would totally weigh 38 pounds on Mars!

  4. H-Mama, thanks for missing me...you're sweet and I miss you too! Seriously, life has just been crazy with my assignments and practicing in my photography class...my son joining the Army and all of the hoops we had to jump through to get a medical waiver for him....my daughter flying off to Chicago on her first trip by herself...a young church family's house catching on fire in the middle of the night and almost taking their lives...searching for and listening to tons of songs each week, looking for songs to sing in our music ministry, plus practices....church...well the list goes on and on, so I'll stop there!

    I am looking forward to the day that life slows down a little...will that ever happen? I hope to be stopping by to visit and blog surfing again soon. Now off to finish packing....leaving early in the morning to the Women of Faith Conference and will be home late Saturday evening. Thanks for commenting on my blog. :)

    Oh and by the way...love your pics in your sidebar, as well as all of your other pics that you share on here!

  6. So, I could have sworn that I clicked to follow your blog a long, long time ago...and I kept wondering why nothing was showing up in my reader but assumed you weren't posting much -- wrong!

    I would weigh more than 38 pounds on Mars...but still less than I weigh on earth. I say lets settle down there! :)

  8. What a great experience! I love being home with my girls and seeing their eyes light up and new and interesting things. (It makes up for the days that they find boring and painful.) Thanks for stopping by my place!
