We did a few last minute projects yesterday on the solar eclipse.

I did not buy glasses so we watched the shadows change into cresents.

The four oldest did look once with their dad’s welding mask.

It was nice to hang out in the middle of the day and it feel the temperature drop like it was evening.

Favorite Eclipse Yet

Because I could watch it from my bed and it was not in the middle of the night or early morning hours…

I had decided at this time in my life sleep was more important then watching the eclipse but when so many people were posting on facebook at an early time I thought I would just glance out my window.

If I could not see it I thought at least I had put forth some effort.

Sure enough this eclipse was perfect for the lazy watcher like me…

I took most of my pics while laying in bed.
