Early

Actually haven’t really slept yet, but considering I slept most of yesterday I’m not completely feeling awful yet.
With so few missions yet, I think it’s important for the kids to see the last few shuttle missions. This is Discovery’s second-last trip.
It was beautiful to watch. This is the last launch scheduled to take part outside of daylight hours.
The kids are back in bed, but all the way back up the stairs my son was asking question after question about space. I hope he goes back to sleep soon.
Now I’m going to try to sleep, too – assuming there’s no more yelling this morning.

I always wished my Dad was more like Jim Coates in Old Yeller. I’m sure he meant well saying what he said, but every dog we had (and there were several) “went off to live on a farm” – even when we kids knew that was bullshit.

Just finished watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy with the whole family. We were only watching the regular editions and it is STILL 9 hours of movie.
Maybe we should’ve watched this one, instead.

So, we bought the Astro Boy DVD yesterday (although I had already provided an opportunity to see it last week thanks to teh intarwebs, technically fulfilling the promise to the kids that they could watch it as soon as I could get it).
My girl watched the DVD Extras this morning.
And then this happened.
