Indoor Stargazing

Michael's Date Night

Sorry this date is more than a week late. Things have just been pretty crazy around here!

So last week, I had a lot of trouble coming up with a date. Finally, I was outside and looked up at the stars and thought that stargazing would be a good date. But it was pretty cold outside last weekend, so we decided to do it indoors.

How, you ask? Well, I'll tell you.

First, we each took a pin and a black piece of construction paper, and we stabbed a whole bunch of holes, like so:

 
When we were done, we had two unique "night skies:"


We attached them to a lampshade with tape:


Then we turned off all the lights except for the lamp, and we picked out constellations in the stars.

I also made some hot chocolate and put it an a jar for us to share!



This was a really simple and easy date that didn't take a long time to prepare. It was nice and relaxing, and it involved spending time together and chatting, which is always really nice.

Total cost for this date: FREE!!
