This week has been the Atlanta Science Festival. I didn't have my act together enough to attend other events, but I did take the kids to a college planetarium where we peeked at the sun with a machine, saw a huge telescope (but it was still too bright to look), learned about the solar system (the school had a mural at the entrance you could stand on your favorite planet and see its orbit to the sun; Elise kept slipping on Saturn), saw the moon on their birthdates (Jonathan's was a 1/4 waning moon; Elise was definitely a full moon), and watch a star show. They did a terrific job. It was from 6-8pm, so the kids had dinner first, and Jonathan even wore his PJs.
Jonathan got his mid-term grades. All As (3x 100!), except for a low B in science. boo. gotta get on that.
On a much more somber note, we lost Grandpa Bob today to Parkinson's. He was such a sweet, kind, gentle soul; he will be missed.
