Homemade Spacecraft

October 6, 2010

Homemade Spacecraft from Luke Geissbuhler on Vimeo. Oh my goodness! I think this man should win some sort of “coolest dad” award. The video is longish (7 min), but totally worth your while. So amazing! Thanks for the link, Jared. Share and Enjoy:

Hello October!

October 1, 2010

I’m so glad it’s October. Here’s a Halloween post to mark the occasion. How do you like these more-sweet-than-scary Halloween bags? You can find them at Smidgebox. If I had one, I’d fill it with my favorite Halloween books. Or pounds and pounds of candy corn. : ) P.S. — Isn’t is fun to start [...]
