I went up to the children's room and laid out their astronaut costumes so that when they woke up they would see the costumes first thing, and therefore know that today we were going to pretend we were off to outer space.
And then at 4 a.m. my question as to if this is necessary was answered. L got up to use the bathroom, discovering his costume. He put it all on by himself, but then came in to ask Bryan to help him with the boots. I slept through most of this, but I did hear Bryan say, "Are you serious? He's got it on." Bryan got up with a very excited Liam and helped him put on the rest of the costume, let him look in the mirror, and then put him back to bed.
Even if the costumes are never worn again, the 4 a.m. wake up from a happy 4-year-old astronaut was fully worth it.
And of course today will include astronaut themed foods (Capri suns, freeze dried fruit, moon pies, and some astronaut ice cream, if I can find it.)

so incredible. Now if I could muster up that much energy to get my house cleaned out and move on with my life. Those costumes really rule.
oh abbi, i feel for you! moving really throws a wrench into daily routines.
so, let me get this straight...a 4am wake-up from one of your children pleases you? you ARE the wonder-mom!
those costumes are darn cute by the way! :)
I'm starting to wonder if you're even human.
did he get out of the gate?
Yes its worth it, think of the memories your creating and when they get to school they will be so excited that they can relate to what is being taught.
i LOVE it! where did you come from? where did you get all this ambition & energy?
Sometimes I wish I could be your kid for a few days! What cute little astronauts!
I think my kids will need to come to your house for art camp and summer filled adventures--you are amazing. I love to get on your blog to see what fun things your kids get to do. I need lessons!
The thing I love most about you Pam, is that when I am feeling like I am going way over board on a project or idea I can look at your blog and realize I am not alone or even the worst case. You are amazing, and I think that I need to get Scott looking at your blog more often so he can see I am actually way toned down:) We would still love to get together with you and Brian sometime. Let me know
