First up this morning was loading and loading and loading the car with stuff for the little craft bazaar the kids were participating in today. Into the car went snowman soup and snowman poop (remind me to post a photo of that later); a passel of pet rocks, and gingerbread cookies - both Star Wars and Harry Potter themed.
Thanks to life-sized paintings, the little room was transformed into a colorful wonder. I don't like to post other people's stuff without permission, so you'll have to settle for Annabelle's portrait, complete with cute cat. :)
That meant making a couple dozen cookies, a couple dozen Rice Krispies treats, about 5 pounds of white fondant, and three pounds a piece of green and red fondant. Plus, there are a number of other supplies we had to round up (so! many! sprinkles!).
Oh, and for good measure, we baked a cheesecake for Christian's work party tomorrow.
MEANWHILE, IN LOW EARTH ORBIT: The Internationals Space Station has three new residents tonight.
Early today, a Soyuz blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
On board were NASA astronaut Tim Kopra, Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Tim Peake, of England.
Peake's trip marks the very first time Great Britain has had an astronaut on board the ISS, so it's a pretty darn big deal for Peake and his country.
