Space Week Day 2

This morning we read our book filled with fun facts about space shuttles, our 8 planets, and astronauts. These three silliest kids they were stuck on the fact that astronauts potty in their suits and a vacuum sucks it out. Of course J was making the two girls laugh about this ( sounds included, lol). Found myself laughing with them of course it is a funny thought. They also loved the fact that they sleep on sleeping bags strapped to the wall. So the discussion of gravity became very long with all the very important "what if..." questions.
Outside the pool was deflated from J little swim last night and of course there was  a little water left. Little A hopped right on in clothes and all! She said don't worry I just looking. Older A followed let's little A lead to see if it's ok ( smart girl). Finally J said "See we are on a water planet where there are no adults!" Great place I guess when your " a big kid." Little A started bouncing around on the ball in the water a great challenge for each one. We decided to call it "planet bouncing" counting how many times each kiddo could stay on. They gladly took turns ( whew!)
Painting your own planet on a paper plate was a favorite ( when is painting not!) To add a little twist I asked each kid a few questions about their planet. First question the name of course. Here are the three answers: Donnett, Planet Mommy, and Chocolate milk plant, guess which one belongs to each child?! ( parents?)
Anyways they each gave me a small description of their planet, you will like. It is always so interesting seeing what goes through each kids mind on a topic and a few questions. Btw a little insite on one planet. "Dad lives in the grass and he is 41."
Day 2 successful
I love to find out what's in the mind of a child.
