Total Eclipse of the Pizza Party

On one of the very first days of school (Avery's in 5th grade now! And Caleb's a big 1st grader!), there was an exciting total solar eclipse!  I went to their school to watch the eclipse with them.  All the kids had made solar glasses and were very safe about not looking directly at the eclipse until there was complete coverage, and the sky got dark and we started hearing crickets chirping.  It was really cool.




A couple of weeks later, some camping plans that Caleb and I had fell through, so in order to still have a fun Friday night, we invited some kids over to make pizzas and watch the Captain Underpants movie.  It was a lot of fun! Even Ella from down the street came by to hang out with the little boys.  And our friend Melanie brought capes for the kids to wear to get into superhero mode while they watched the movie.  So fun!
