Insightful Vinyl For The Week
"Don’t be gloomy. Do not dwell on unkind things. Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. Even if you are not happy, put a smile on your face. “Accentuate the positive.” Look a little deeper for the good. Go forward in life with a twinkle in your eye and a smile on your face, with great and strong purpose in your heart. Love life.” ~ Gordon B. Hinckley

"ROCKET YEAH SATELLITE OF LOVE...WE JUST GOTTA FLY" (Def Leppard people)

Logan wanted a Rocket Ship to hold his Valentine's this year. I'm all about easy and what do I have on hand.
You will need:
20 minutes and some good music (Rocket by Def Leppard)
1-2 liter soda bottle
(1/3 from the top cut around the bottle leaving 2 inches in the back so it will open and close to hold treats)
Aluminum foil to cover the bottle and make the needle nose
Silver laundry duct tape
(to attach the nose to the top and make a lock so it will stay closed. We had this on hand, but clear tape would work too)
3 small paper plates folded in half for the fins
Markers to color the fins
Box cutter to cut slices in the bottle to insert the fins
Clear packing tape to tape each side of the fin to bottle for extra support
Paper to make flames
(Logan's idea...he traced, colored and cut them out)
Stickers
Silas had to be in the "wocket picto too mom"Blast-off!
