Sarah and Matthew decided to transform the boys' room into outer space. They pulled open a book about our solar system and drew each planet on construction paper. Sarah was very meticulous about getting the red spot on Jupiter correct, and making sure Uranus had the rings going vertically. They cut them out and hung them on the walls of the room. They had so much fun taping confetti stars all over the walls as well.
Astronauts always wear cool helmets, which they couldn't find. The crowns made an acceptable substitution for them. It's something cool to wear on the head that makes them feel special. Good enough.
The final detail was the astronaut food. Matthew informed me that toothpaste wasn't an option, even though it fit the correct appearance. "Mom, it LOOKS like astronaut food, but that would just be too spicy." Matthew found some condiment containers and asked me to fill them with applesauce. Perfect! Everyone had their own astronaut snack in the space ship.
After the applesauce was gone, they decided there wasn't much else fun to do as an astronaut. It was pretty boring, so the games were done. Why is it that so much set up is required for a 5 minute snack?
