Saturday began with a trip to Microcenter to pick up parts for a contraption. The contraption with sense light in Jane's room at 9:00. If the lamp is on, it will remind her to turn it off, and sing her a lullaby. Ben and Jane are going to build it together.
Parts
We picked up the parts on the way to Second State Press for their Second Sunday family printmaking. This week was mono-screenprinting structures.
The instructor explaining and demonstrating the technique. Pre-prepared screens + watercolor crayons and pencils + ink = mono screenprinting

Good bye ship. Note, the ship wasn't really Boaty McBoatface, but it was named Moshulu by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, before it became a restaurant.
On the way to screenprinting, Jane read six comic books, two of which were non-fiction history, so we also had to stop at a used bookstore to get her three new chapter books, which she started reading on the way home.
