Tackle it Tuesday

Inspired by my weather friend Lori!

Here's my list to do today: Make mini-bundt cakes with the girls as part of cooking class. Pay a bill or two, finish school for the day--lots of reading, Read/Listen to Little Lord Fauntleroy, Stay inside and finish alllllllll my laundry!!!

UPDATE: Bundt cakes will be postponed. Finished school, going to pay the bill right now, Read LLF, listening to ch. 6 tonight, have done four loads of laundry--still not done though.

Laundry is my main goal today!

The Lunar Eclipse!!!

Did you see the Lunar eclipse last night? Well, we have a friend that is great with a camera and a telescope and here's what he had to say about it.

"I did get a couple of pictures of it through some breaks in the clouds. Attached is probably the best one. You can see the curve of earth’s shadow along the right hand side of the moon. In this picture, the moon is not totally in the earth’s shadow yet, so that is why the right side is so bright and the left side is so dark. The red color comes from all the dust in earth’s atmosphere. The sunlight gets scattered in our atmosphere so that is why the moon doesn’t go completely dark. " --Bret Dahl.

The next lunar eclipse is supposed to be in 2010!!! So, if you missed it, here's an actual photo of what you would have seen up close(well, not really up close, but closer than just your eyesight!).

Thanks Bret! Thanks to Sarah (my closest friend) who is married to Bret for letting him do his "hobby." I am of the opinion, behind every man's hobby, is a very patient and giving woman!!!

Valentine's Day Brownies!

Last week for V-day, we did get to make brownies(milk free--of course). I love different shaped pans and I had a heart one, so how appropriate!! It was very yummy and the kids loved getting to have Valentine's with the family. John had bought the girls little stuffed heart and heart candies--such a sweet dad!

Mark is starting his first sport!!!

Can you guess what it is? He is starting this week with his first practice. Leave me a comment if you want to guess!!! Those that guess it, will be published!! This is to see how many people are actually reading this blog-ha! Yes, I will continue if it's just me, my fish, John, Randy and Mrs. Carol reading it, but I am curious!!!
