Fun Weekend...The Force Was WIth Us :)

Saturday, we all went downtown to the History Center for the annual Star Wars Day....yes, I wore Princess Leia buns!  T thought it was cool -he has not reached the age where he realizes I am a big nerd!  :) 

T and a Jawa

We met T's buddy and fellow Star Wars fan Leo down there....

The boys giving their interpretation of vicious Tusken Raiders

Designing their own hilts for light sabers 

And they were able to make their own light sabers from fun noodles which was super cool.  T chose the red bc he wanted to be a "bad guy."  Nice!

The boys posing by Han Solo frozen in the carbonite

The big boys got in on the goofy posing action too!

There was a super cool Imperial Parade too 

Our little jedis with a Sand Trooper

Chilling with the Rebel Alliance fighters

With R2D2 in the Hoth echo base


Posing with the jedi Luminara Unduli

T and L with Plo Koon, two clone troopers and two Jedis

After the Star Wars morning, we went back to our house for a long playdate....the boys broke out the costumes and put on a show for us...after the alien and stormtrooper above, we also got to see Uncle Sam and Darth Vader.  pretty funny!


Then the boys went outside and played croquet...followed by baseball then soccer.  In the 90 degree heat!  Fun but HOT!

Sunday, we went to see Ice Age 4 with our good buddy James and his mom Dawn.

Then a fun playdate at Friendship park

All in all, a busy but super fun weekend!

I have to say, you totally rocked the Princess Leia buns! And Fidel looked super-impressed with the dressing up.
