Last night, I noticed she was drawing a self portrait.
I love it!
PREPPERS: CJ and Annabelle's education took place almost entirely in the kitchen today. Lots of math (measuring, timing, and more), lots of language arts (carefully reading recipes), and lots of manual dexterity (chopping, dicing, slicing, spreading, stirring, whisking and such). They had hands in making Chex Mix, a pumpkin spice cheesecake, Wisconsin wild rice stuffing, cranberries, two kinds of deviled eggs and more. Tomorrow it's 'just' the turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, onion ring green bean casserole, and Katz's pastrami!
ANNIVERSARY AND ANTICIPATION: It was 20 years ago yesterday (Nov. 20) that the first component of the International Space Station, was launched on a Russian Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazahkstan.
The ISS has been such a boon to civilization. The orbiting laboratory has been a multi-national effort, and science on board it has benefited the entire planet. (You can always read up on the latest ISS accomplishments on this NASA page: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/results_category)
Speaking of awesome NASA stuff, we are counting the days down until Monday, when their Mars Lander InSight is set to touch down at noon Pacific time. Yesterday, we learned one of our favorite illustrators/comic writers, Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal, will be covering the event live.
Below, you can read his InSight strip in anticipation of the event.
While we can't all be at Jet Propulsion Lab during the landing, you can watch it all go down (in a controlled manner, hopefully) via NASA Live: https://www.nasa.gov/nasalive
In fact, if you want to learn more about InSight before Monday, check out the mission's final pre-landing update on Sunday at 1 p.m. InSight Mars Lander news conference
Also, if you're in Seattle, both Pacific Science Center and The Museum of Flight will be hosting landing watch parties.
