Darth Van Gogh

He spent a lot of the afternoon drawing this. There is a very elaborate (and long) story behind what is going on. I thought it was pretty clever, but I am his Mother. That red thing is an Imperial Walker and I think it looks just like it. (Hubby tells me it is an At-At Walker?)

My 6 year old is enthralled with the Star Wars storyline. I don't even know how he has learned about most of it. I found myself answering "I don't know" before he finished his questions today. I don't know the details he asks me about the movie. I especially don't know the names of the funny-looking characters in the movies.

Every day when I pick him up from school he tells me that his buddy wants to come over on a day they have picked so they can watch one of the movies. The Big Guy is very persistent. I will give him that.
He was supposed to be having "quiet time" with his books during the supposed nap time of the Little Guy. I was working on my computer and suddenly he appeared from nowhere. "Can you Google something for me?" I said "WHAT?" He proceeded "Find out how they made Star Wars."

What a different world my children live in. My 6 year old is asking me to Google things. WHAT?

Best Mom Ever

Happy Easter everybody. I will have some more Easter pictures later. Until then, I just wanted to share what a great Mom moment I had. Star Wars Easter Eggs. I never even knew there was such a thing. And, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined I would take part in a Jedi Easter moment. Beautiful Martha Stewart non-cracked eggs would have been more up my alley. I have to make up for fussing at my little boys for dying their t-shirts by letting them have something they will love so much. I would have only made one dozen if the big guy told me he wouldn't eat an egg beforehand. I'm still sending one in his lunch tomorrow. Grammy brought the baby girl some Tinkerbell Easter eggs. I did not anticipate that and feel like I am going to have to learn a lot of new girl stuff just when I have some of the boyish things under control. I hope I don't have to buy Barbie egg kits. I think I might like Darth Vader better (not that I want to promote the Dark Side on Easter....He is Risen!).

Please God, let my brother use the potty.

I didn't think you would want to see the carpet stains made today. I can't believe my washing machine hasn't broken in the last 6 hours from overuse. I have lots to complain about, but I'll give you a highlight of the day instead. Baby Girl was sitting quietly while Evan and a friend smacked light sabers together. She starting laughing really hard at them which was pretty shocking and funny. She has never done that before without me chewing on her neck.
