Feeling a little spacey

We visited the Space: Dare to Dream exhibit at the university today. It was great given that nothing like this ever comes to our rural town. It was certainly not Kennedy Space Center, but Carson enjoyed it.

Never mind that man behind Carson in the first picture. Carson wasn't quite tall enough and I haven't ventured in to the world of Photoshop yet. I'm thinking I may need to learn photo editing this year.

Greg went geocahing in Perryville all morning. Carson and I hung out at home until this afternoon when we all went to the museum. After the museum we headed to the mall to pick up some Wallflowers at Bath and Bady Works. Big mistake. It was like Black Friday in the store, with people waiting in line to check out half way out the door. They were having their semiannual sale. I gave up and browsed the other stores. Finally, I gave in and got in line. My house smells yummy like Brown Sugar and Fig.

When we got home, I ironed all of the curtains I washed last weekend, then finished the calendar I started last night. It took longer than I thought, but I am loving my Cricut. I still have a lot to learn to be able to understand all of the features.
