Ethan Vader

My baby boy is six! What the what?

His actual birthday was Tuesday but we celebrated his birthday this past Saturday in a Darth Vader/Star Wars party. Yes. My sister is raising a Star Wars geek. haha He started out innocently enough with Star Wars Rebels but by now he's seen the three original films and LOVES them. His favorite character is, of course, Darth Vader. He is all about some dark sides. Can't decide if we need to be worried or not. ;-)

So their swing set is mostly toast by now. the monkey bar part is the only part still hanging on. Lyssa has decided that it's a swing. Silly girl.

Their other grandmother gave them a basketball goal as an early Christmas present and Goofus set it up so that the kids could enjoy it during the party. Alyssa claims she made 42 shots throughout the day.

Pretty sure he's contemplating steeling one of the marshmallow pops.

We called these "Angry Snowmen" and Nana got her feelings hurt. D'oh!

Nana and Alyssa putting the faces on the "angry snowmen" aka Storm troopers.


His other grandmother bought him this Vader hoodie. I had to show him my Darth Vader t-shirt to get him to pose for this selfie, though.
It's actually Darth SPADER. Get it? Because he's on a spade card? True story: I bought this t-shirt just for Ethan's party. I don't even LIKE Star Wars. But I AM his coolest aunt.

The force is definitely with this one.

It was 80 something degrees out side Saturday and Emmy dressed for winter! Silly girl.

This full on costume and the red light saber were both presents. He made out good with Star Wars gifts. AND he gets to be Darth Vader for Halloween!

My Emmy and I had to take our mandatory selfie together. Again. Cool aunt. ;-)

Teenagers totally do still love to play with light sabers and little boys.
I'm not sure what Emmy and Bobo were talking about here but it looks pretty serious. lol

After the party ended, Sis2 and I took the kiddos to Micky D's for supper and we goofed around. Naturally.


I love these kiddos.

I went home exhausted but happy. I'm so glad Sis2 decided to have the party outside. It really cut down on the noise and the crowd factor. And the kids all enjoyed the space to run free and wild and be as noisy as they wanted to be. All with the added benefit that Sis2 didn't have to re-clean her house after everybody left! Score!

Cool party and cake -- although I think you should rethink the wording in your caption for the light sabers. Seriously. ;-D

And how can you not like Star Wars? Some of my best friends are SW geeks. :)

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
