I have an app on my phone where I can put faces in holes of characters—so I picked some Star Wars ones to surprise Owen. He loved them!
And he liked this one the best
I also did this one of Katie but it’s not that great.
And some fun with daddy and mommy!
It’s addicting!
Edited to add:
I redid this one of Owen now that I understand the app better.
A better full-view of where she is:
Or really, how we get 20 or so minutes without the kids pestering us for something and letting us rest…
Owen’s watching the iPad Mini, Katie’s watching the Kindle Fire, and Tom is watching the Roku on the TV…I guess I could use my iPhone or the iPad if I wanted to join the group. 🙂
Including Yoda, too, you notice. 🙂
Grandma Marsha gave Owen this stuffed Yoda a loooong time ago, and we put it away because he had no idea who Yoda even was. But with all his playing Lego Star Wars and watching the movies with daddy…he now definitely knows who Yoda is. And I found him while going through Owen’s closet today…so we decided to just give it to him!
He loved it.
The kids were watching Sesame Street and Tom came downstairs for something and I heard him say “Wow there’s kids all over the floor!” Turns out, Owen was trying to get Katie to make the letter of the day. 🙂
Owen has been playing Lego Star Wars for months now, so Tom thought it was time to show him the movie. Katie was originally on my lap, completely riveted. Then I moved her to Tom’s lap and she sat still and watched for a good 30 minutes. Owen was super into it as well. Daddy was a happy guy. 🙂
Owen sat nicely still while we watched TV…but Katie was another story.
Her chin digging into my shoulder/arm. 🙂
Momentary calm.
Why not have Charlie join the party?
Well as long as it’s comfy for you.
Then about two minutes later he was screeching “MOOOOM! She won’t get off me!” 🙂
Tom and I took Owen to The Lego Movie today. He was SOOO excited! The whole time we were coming home from Costco he was telling us to hurry so he wouldn’t miss the movie! We assured him we would be home in plenty of time. He even wore his new Lego Crocs!
The movie was really cute and Owen was super excited to see some of his own minifigures in the movie!
As the movie ended these were my exact thoughts:
You’ll understand all of those when you see the movie but here’s #3:
Then this happened on the way home:
Katie was dancing to the end credits of The Lorax and then Owen joined in.
I just told Owen there was a new Star Wars Mythbusters and he was positively gleeful.
My friend called it “Nerd parenting at its best!”
One of my mommy group friends invited us over for a play date and pizza dinner. I really needed to get out of the house so I eagerly agreed!
The kids (but mostly Katie) were mesmerized by the BIG TV at their level.
Enjoying cupcakes after playing and dinner!
And after we put Katie’s high chair on the floor, she had to sit in it—and she tried to buckle herself in.
I was watching an old episode of The Office which had some music. I look over to see this:
We were watching Rio and she was sitting on my lap when she started dancing. It went on much longer than this video. 🙂
We’ve been watching Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University and she’s been walking around doing this randomly:
Check out RESTORE THE RIALTO THEATER on Kickstarter!
The Rialto Theater has been in operation continuously since May 29, 1915. During that time it has been owned and operated by the same family. It is probably the oldest family-run movie theater in America.
Over the next few months, Hollywood studios will stop producing movies on actual film. The cost of the new digital equipment is beyond what an independent theater in a small town can afford. That’s why the Rialto is asking you to make this crucial investment with us.
Restoring the Rialto Theater means once again making it the best there is. That’s why this project is not only about buying a digital projector, but also replacing our seats, redesigning our concession and lobby areas, and refurbishing the historic paintwork and look of the theater. The result will be a state-of-the-art venue—by today’s standards—that also preserves the most important piece of historic architecture in our area.
I have backed this project, and wish I could afford the “get your name on a seat” level—but my husband would kill me!
Killed two birds with one stone—cleaned off the dresser while catching up on two episodes of CSI.
I took Owen out for a special treat—a movie! We saw Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 (he’d seen the first one).
He really enjoyed it, and his favorite characters were the Watermelophants:
Mine were the Shrimpanzees:

All the way home we were chasing Watermelophants and he was Flynn, the main character. 🙂
