The meteor shower is coming up. Well I guess technically it is already going on but the best night for watching will be Sunday night. It is to be a sliver moon and no clouds. Perfect conditions for watching shooting stars.
The littles and I have come up with a plan. The past couple of times we have tried to watch the stars the neighbors behind us turn on their back porch light. Simply because we are in our back yard. No one is in their back yard. And we are not going in their back yard. But they must think we might. So our vision gets a bit obscured with the light to see the stars.
We intend to set out our stuff early in the day and then when dusk comes we will sneak into our back yard and be very very quiet. And that way maybe they won't know we are there and make it harder for us to enjoy nature.
I'm going to a concert with my friend Doug (or the good Doug as the littles call him). Aunt Traci moved back to Yelm and while she would willingly drive down to babysit, I feel funny asking. So the little man is going to go spend that night with Uncle Pat. And then the little woman is going to our old neighbors. The sneaky part is the little man does not know what the little woman is doing. He would feel very left out and throw a big fit about it. So we are sneaky when we have to be. And I get an afternoon and evening with adult company. That almost never happens. ;p
