A new view of the solar system March 30, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Kids , 4 commentsI apologize, I normally avoid brag posts, but I just HAVE to post this.
My Soleil has fallen in love with Zula Patrol. So yesterday, when we came to pick her up from daycare, she proudly announced to us that she had made the solar system. The teacher started laughing and said, "you have GOT to see this!" And so, I proudly present "Soleil’s Solar System" as taken by cell phone before it was devoured by two kids. (that a nilla wafer for the sun, 9 cheeseits and a raisin astroid belt)

Posted by spacemom in : Go Team Go Team Go Team , add a commentWe just secured tickets to 2 RedSox-Yankees games.
Here in the Boston metro area, it is next to impossible to get Red Sox tickets. Here’s what they do:
First, tickets go on sale via the web. This happens on a specific Saturday. People are limited to how many tickets a transaction to prevent scalpers from buying a huge lot. We decided to skip that this year.
Second, you can enter three lotteries. The Yankee lottery, the Green Monster lottery and the Right Field Roof lottery. I usually sign up for all three. If you win the lotteries, you can buy tickets after sitting in a virtual waiting room. I have been stuck in those waiting rooms for over an hour in the past…. This year, I didn’t get any of the lotteries. Bummer
Thirdly, Those people who break the rules of the lotteries get their ticket orders canceled by the Red Sox. They hold a second chance lottery from those who lost the first three. I won that! So Thursday, atnoon, Jay had three browsers going and I had three browsers going. After 45 minutes, one of my windows was pulled from the waiting room. With my password, I can only buy 4 tickets total. We had previously chosen which games we wanted to go to. I got seats right behind home plate for the Yankees in April and up the first base line in September.
Yes! (pumping fist action)
