Dinner & a Movie Night
Star Wars
August 28, 2011
I remember going to see this movie when it came out. I was just about 9 years old...you do the math. We went with the neighbors across the alley from us. It was such cutting edge technology then, and watching it again after MANY years it seems so hockey and silly....but I remember being in total awe when I was younger. The sound track is still one of my favorites. I never really watched any of the other movies, caught pieces of them here and there but sci-fi really isn't my genre. My favorite character has to be CP3O...I think I relate to his personality the most. Young Harrison Ford still does something to this girl's heart...in fact I think he aged to be even better looking.
Activities:
Transporters
Goo and Boo (with Ab's help) made transporters that I found on familyfun.com
Boo hated making these...he got so frustrated and wanted to quit so many times...they are hard to make
Lightsabers & Jedi Training Videos
Then the boys and I made lightsabers and watched some youtube videos of the Jedi training program at DHS....guess what Goo wants to do now. So I am going to have to research more into this! The boys took their lightsabers outside and preceded to whack each other...the one time they complained I told them to they had 2 choices...1. Me taking the sabers away or 2. Me going back into the house and ignoring them...guess which they decided was best.
Wookie-Ookie Cookies
Boo wanted to be the chef tonight, so he made Wookie-Ookies (Wookie Cookies). I found this cookie recipe online. It is from the Star Wars Christmas Cookbook. They are so yummy.
Dinner:
Millennium Falcon Wiring with Asteroid Meatballs & Mastafar Lava Sauce
Jumbo Malasrtian Croutons (from Dex's Diner)
Interstellar Salad with Blue Milk Dressing
Yoda Sundaes
Wookie-Ookie Cookies
Look what I found today...
The perfect Christmas stockings this year...since Santa is leaving travel bags instead of stockings! They were only $5 at Walgreen's in the clearance section...and everybody gets their favorite color!
Guess who tied his shoe for the first time today, by himself!
Congratulations! We are still working on perfecting it with Sam!

Since we have a long weekend and dh's crews finished up with their current floors we are taking off for the cabin. I am so ready to get out of the heat...yes I have been complaining about this all summer and it still has not gotten better. We have set 3 records this week, have temps over 100. When will this stop?
We have a movie night planned and the cousins (remember from this summer) are going to host a movie night at their cabin. I take 3 of the K sisters to school each morning and they are so excited to do this that is all we talk about in the morning on the ride to school...in fact we are going to have a Perfectly Princess movie week during Thanksgiving at the cabins with them. We all usually spend the break at the cabins and having 5 girls makes having princess movies parties a lot of fun then just Ab and 2 boys that are not getting into the idea. The K sisters are going to WDW world in March during spring break for a choir concert.
Sounds like me missing your pictures all the time!
Ok so I'm playing catch up and I am majorly behind. Love the Star Wars night, I have it on my list, I was thinking of doing in next May (yes I'm already thinking that far ahead, lol). I was thinking of doing a whole Star Wars weekend like they have at DHS and we'll watch the whole series, so I'm definately jotting down some ideas from you because I'll need lots to fill up a whole weekend! Love the Yoda dessert
Love these bags! I may have to make my way to Walgreens next week after I drop Christian off at baseball. We don't have one near my house but there is one near his school and even though I have only been in it once I loved it because they had all sorts of Disney stuff (this was around Easter) and it wasn't badly priced
Ok finally all caught up. Gosh darn it I missed out on alot of trivia that I knew
Hope your having a great time at the cabin!
I'm so jealous! This heat is horrid down here in TX for sure. And now it's really windy and fires are starting everywhere. ugh.
I know...up here in the Panhandle of our great state we spend most of the spring and early summer with OVER our share of fires. We have this nasty thing called wind up here, which thank goodness has died down since July or we would continue to be on fire! A cool front blew in last night and the temp says 83 outside!
Also wanted to say that I am so jealous of your themed movie nights. I'm trying to get something like that started with my family. So far we did Lion King and I'm trying to decide which to do next. I wont be able to talk the kids into doing a craft project but maybe the dinner and snacks I can.
Anyway...have a great time at your cabin!
They like the cooking part the best...I let them make something or all of the meal to go with our theme! And they are enjoying the movies...a lot of the movies it has been ages since they last saw them!
I know Tom and Huck has been guessed already but I would like to throw out that Rachel Leigh Cook played the part of Becky Thatcher.
