Little Star Wars Geeks

Every Wednesday night I have Activity Days for about an hour. Both kids love this time because it means that they get daddy all to themselves. I'm not quite sure how the tradition began- you'll have to ask Mike- but every Wed. the 3 would sit with some kind of treat and watch a little of Star Wars. They started with the first one and then they would continue each week beginning where they left off the previous week. They have now watched all three movies twice! And they really enjoyed it- Collin was totally into it. One of the times I happened to be home and watch it with them- Collin was sitting next to me- and all the sudden I hear this little noise- I put my head down- and what do ya know he is making Darth Vader noises! Unbelievably cute!
Another night Samantha was trying to ask Mike a question about Princess Leia but she couldn't remember her name so this is how it went "Dad- ya know that girl- the princess- the princess like me- we're both princesses- what is her brothers name?" She said it so matter of fact- this little girl really does believe she is a princess- just like Leia :)
Wow I am surrounded by Star Wars geeks! love it.
