outer space week!

make something monday: bubble colored planets

i found a recipe for bubble art on pinterest and after we made the art with bubbles, we cut it out into circles and hung the "planets" in the window with fishing line. they look really cool when the sun shines through them.

time to read tuesday: outer space books

now i know why pluto doesn't get to be a planet anymore. poor pluto.

we're going out wednesday: pacific science center

the pacific science center has the only planetarium in the area, and that's crazy because i LOVE a good planetarium. they also have a space area and a scale where you can find out your weight on the other planets. beckett would weigh 2 pounds on non-planet pluto. also, they have a butterfly atrium! cool.

that's delicious thursday: astronaut ice cream cupcakes

so... i didn't make these. the sigl's left for hawaii and i'm not going to make crazy complicated cupcakes for just beckett. sorry b. also, these cupcakes look like a lot of work, but really you could make any cupcake and put astronaut ice cream on top, which can be purchased in the gift shop at the pacific science center or on amazon. also also, i heard astronauts don't really eat astronaut ice cream in space. what?! why?

relaxation week

make something monday: homemade facial masks
 oatmeal yogurt mask

time to read tuesday: free book

what is more relaxing than curling up with a good book that you chose? the answer is nothing. 

we're going out wednesday: lynnwood rec center pool

so, in general i find swimming to be a relaxing activity, but this pool area was pretty crazy and not relaxing, but that's okay.

that's delicious thursday: zucchini bread

i think relaxing food is the same as spa food, which is usually healthy food. and zucchini is pretty healthy. also, this is a paula deen recipe with NO butter. what?! hmm... recipe

this park has a stone area for foot reflexology. how relaxing.

we're going out wednesday: emp

the emp (experience music project) was having a special exhibit about all things fantasy. it was the coolest. there was stuff from game of thrones, harry potter, wizard of oz, the labyrinth, the dark crystal... and more! it is also attached to the science fiction museum, which is all fantasy too... really.

that's delicious thursday: fruity pebble treats

it's rice krispie treats, but a disgustingly colorful version.
