Almost Spring

 Tomorrow is officially spring!

We have had some lovely days of late but today is not one of those days. It is in the lower 40s and dropping, and it is raining dismally. Good day to stay indoors!

Last week was a full lunar eclipse. I decided to go crazy and have it as a wonderful learning experience for any children who wished to stay up. It was a full eclipse at 2:30 a.m. or so? Late!

I stayed up the whole time and Angela did as well. Miriam and Joseph and Isaac, all of whom needed to work, did not.

The younger three kids stayed up for awhile but finally got super tired and went to bed, with requests that I would wake them up at totality.

So about 3 a.m. or so I went upstairs and woke up Daniel and told him to go look at the eclipse. He sat up and talked to me and then I went in and woke up Rose and Sarah, who both went to their window to look at the eclipse before going to bed.

The next morning Rose and Daniel were both sad because they missed the eclipse, claiming that I had not woken them up.

In both cases, apparently they were talking in their sleep. Daniel apparently just went back to sleep after we talked, and Rose while she did look out the window, has no memory of it.

So ... not a great success. We did talk about eclipses so that was cool, but D and R really wanted to SEE one, and did not, or at least, in Rose's case, has no memory of seeing it.

Next time I will try to march them downstairs in the hopes that that will wake them up sufficiently!

Hmmm, what else?

Kevin has been working on another audio book with one of our narrators, Harry Frost. It will be launching soon. Audio books are expensive to make because we have to pay the narrator, but eventually we will make money. 

Harry is in England and is excellent at portraying different characters with his voice. He sometimes does voices for video games along with Regency romance books.

Not a whole lot else going on. We are healthy. We have food. We are grateful.
