For Easter, Will had gotten a "Martian Matter" set -
Alien Lab. I was saving it for a not nice day outside, so we broke it out on this windy 50 degree day. You make alien guts out of this silicone stuff and then put them on a lighted tray to "dissect" them. Then, you can pour the goo over alien shapes to make the skin. You peel the skin off with tweezers and it comes off in one big piece. The kids had a great time with it - when I finally gave them a turn.

Lately, as alluded to in previous posts, Paige has been slightly obsessed with me - as far as just wanting to be with me, wanting snuggle time, etc. Tonight while putting her to bed she was explaining that she loves me so much that she doesn't have the words. Then she adds, "I just feel like I want to do something for you." Me: "Then go to bed tonight like a big girl and I'll be so happy." Paige: "Anything else?"

I want to come play with Martian guts! How cool.
Love how you spun Paige's outpouring of affection to good bedtime behavior!! You know what she really wants is to make you breakfast in bed or something....
Oh I'm so glad you wrote about the Martian Matter...it's always looked so cool - now I know it has the Kelly seal of approval!
