Cael's Star Wars obsession

Cael has recently gotten into Star Wars with David. They started off building Lego Star Wars sets, then last week started the movies. I didn't like this very much, because of the violence. I honestly thought he wouldn't be able to handle it, and that he would forget about Star Wars altogether, but it's not worked out that way. I guess there are worse things in life to get upset about, huh?
So, we've made masks and costumes for them, and last weekend, even bought the boys light sabers to battle with. Cael is "Caleb Skywalker" and Micah is "Stormtrooper Michael." His imagination is wonderful!
Yesterday, we were outside playing Star Wars. He was continuously changing our characters. I would be "Princess Leah" one minute then change suddenly to R2D2, and then legless C3PO. He kept shouting out Star-Warsy sounding phrases and swinging his light saber around like a mad man. At one point, he said, "Darth Vader - I'll have my lawyer invade your ship if you aren't careful!" Then, a few seconds later, I heard him yell, "You will never cut off my comical arm!!"... I'm pretty sure he meant "mechanical"...not sure what "lawyer" was supposed to be.

Hi there! You're signature line caught my eye! "Do I really have time to blog?" That is so funny, because I am always thinking--I do NOT have time to do this. But it is so much fun and it is for ME!!!!!

Have fun!!

Warrior perhaps? Truman is into Star Wars now too but Sean and I are both junkies so that's OK with us.
