We were supposed to be at music lessons and chorus today, but we woke up and all looked at each other and decided to stay home. We have been so busy lately and been out of the house so much I think we were all exhausted. We just needed a day to stay home and kick back. So we played hookie from class and stayed in our jamies ALL DAY!
We finished up Halloween decorations and just sat around and read books. Loretta made flying bats out of egg cartoons. We brushed up on our eclipse knowledge as tonight at about 10 pm our time the eclipse was supposed to happen.
About 930p Carla called and told Butch the moon was orange and to go out and look. . We went out and it was still white at our house. It didn't eclipse until about 10:10p. It was great that Carla called because that turned into a whole lesson about why the eclipse happened sooner for her in New York.
Loretta was much more interested in her own shadow, and the flashlight, spooky faces she was making. As the moon was almost through it's eclipse, you could see a rainbow of colors in the center of it....it was beautiful, and she really enjoyed that. Musa went in and got his science book and wanted to see how big the moon was in relation to the Earth. He has seen that comparison many times in books, but something about the eclipse made it all real tonight. Score!
Thanks Aunt Carla, for the tip.
