You went all dark side on your binder didn't you LOL!!!! LOVE IT!!! I too had a fear of Darth Vader for the longest while!!! Even after I knew "who" he was at the end I still had a healthy respect for the power he yielded!!!

Love those sheets!! I may have to get a set myself!!!!

Thanks for texting with me today!! Really enjoyed it!!!!

In every movie, at least one person says, “I have a bad feeling about this.”

I Have a bad Feeling!

The Phantom Menace introduces the most annoying character you will ever meet in a film: the infamous Jar-Jar Binks.


And that is your Star Wars lesson for the day.

LOVED THIS! i just jumped into the middle of you PTR because you mentioned SWW. While I am still waiting for this year's details to be posted we will be there for what should be the first weekend. DH is SOO looking forward to this!

I'll be keeping track of your updates!!

Chelsea had to separate the egg yolks. She had a unique way of doing it, but it worked.

that's how I separate egg whites too!

He did seem a bit contrite about the whole basement thing.

So, all forgiven, I let him be a part of this year’s trip binder.

Love the back story!! My DH's ringtone, for when i call him, is Darth Vader saying "what is thy bidding master?" and for his texts its "Come to the Dark Side".

Totally had those sheets when I was little!

The first Star Wars movie I saw in the theater was Return of the Jedi at the tender age of 2 (when it came out). Apparently, I had seen the other two movies because we had them in some weird disc form (not laser disc, but I don't know what it was called). So in one of the first scenes where Darth is coming out of the ship and all you see are his boots first? Yeah, apparently, my mom said that this was the opportune time for me to chime in and shout in the theater "Mommy, mommy! Darth Vader!!!! Hoo-pah, hoo-pah!!"

Yup, totally tried to mimic his breathing and everything. I was never afraid of him somehow....

Side note, growing up, my brothers and I used to take our Star Wars figures, and create the Sarlacc pit monster in the dirt, with toothpicks coming out of the side. Somehow, Lando always ended up in that pit.......

So great was my belief that my dad was a powerful authority figure that I was never afraid of uninvited Star Wars Bad Guy Guests again.

That is awesome!

However, I can assure you that my cheek never rested on Darth Vader when I was falling asleep on my prized Star Wars sheets.

Which, I just discovered are available from Pottery Barn! How cool is that? I may need a set.

Gee Jackie, if you had been watching Big Bang Theory, you would have known this a couple years ago. They actually played a part in one of the story lines!

 

[Native NYer]

I remember those sheets when I was a kid.
Pottery Barn Kids has the whole bedroom set. The blanket is cute too.

I love your trip binder cover. You're so creative, Jackie!
Are we going to get a peak inside the binder?

 

[Lady Lallie]

I can just imagine little Jackie dictating that sign. How very cute!

Love the binder, it is perfect for your trip planning.

 

[hollisterluva92]

Loved the update Jackie! Can you do a post just about your trip binder? I would love to see photos of the inside of it! I'm going to update my ptr with my trip binder pics today! My brother would love all of the star wars stuff! (He's a total trekkie!)

Good job Chelsea!!! The pie looks delish!!!

I have an egg white separater my mom bought me. Its a head and you crack the egg and put it in there and the egg white comes out of the guys nose. Yuck!! haha I can't stand touching a raw egg...or raw chicken...or raw meat!! lol
So kudos to you sweet Chelsea!!!

 

[klacey1]

The story about Darth is too cute-- love the basement sign! Ahh, the making of the Disney binder-- such an exciting part of planning!!

 

[SoonerGirl]

How stinkin' cute were you, dictating a sign to your dad to keep the bad guys away! Loved the little peek into your childhood

Great job on the trip binder!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Haha oh Jackie, I love the story about the sign in your basement. That's priceless! Your trip binder is really cute. Do you leave that in the room each day or does it come into the parks with you?

 

[Wicket's Mom]

When my second son was 2 we ran into Darth Vader at a festival. Darth scared the crap out of my son! He did grow out of it & became a huge fan. The first movie that sons saw was Empire Strikes Back. They had all of the toys that were out, also. Second son is your age Jackie, that makes me feel my age.

My 7 year old GD loves Star Wars & is gettibg into the old Star Treks with William Shatner. Just like her grandmama!

 

[Poolrat]

Ok I figure I will post this here since we were talking about Charles coming over to the dark side.


My Disney hating DH was walking through the house and just mumbled something about an Iguanadon. I actually asked him if he said that becuse I really thought I heard wrong.
He said yes and walked out of the room.

What the heck was that all about?

 

[MEK]

Jackie - awesome update! I can definitely see how Darth Vader would be very frightening to a 5 year old. My kids watched those movies over and over again.

Love the sheets. We had lots of star wars sheets too.

I love the cover of your binder. Very cool!

 

[helen81]

I didn't read through ALL of your posts in here but I wanted to let you know that my husband and I will be going to SWW too! We are taking our loving family...my daughter being the oldest of 4...her initials spell HANS...yes as in Han Solo. Husband kinda did that one by filling in the birth certifcate with her first name having a space in it so the initials spelled it!! When I saw the birth certificate I just stared!!! We will also be taking Leia and Luke along for the ride! Of course my son Brayden will be going too...he is the only one not related to Star Wars in some way name wise...dh wanted him to be named Hayden but I was able to get Brayden instead. Just thought you would like to know that!

 

[oOJulieOo]

The sign in the basement is HILARIOUS!!! I love it!

My brothers had those sheets on their beds. My mom still has them. They're old and ratty and well-loved.

Pretty binder!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Too funny about the basement sign!!

Now about this binder - it is so nicely done. Do you use a different one each trip and save them with all their contents? Or do you take the stuff out and reuse the binder? Just curious. I use the same one over and over, but I don't make mine so cute with covers etc. It would be nice to do that and then take the cover and turn it into a scrapbook title page.

You guys NEED to get an egg separator!!!! Gosh, I should send you one. They're really cheap! I'm guessing there must be a Disney one out there!

Do you have a stand mixer? Holding a mixer for meringue would be tough!!! Kudos to Chelsea if she did that!! I don't have the arm strength. I probably would never bake if I didn't have my trusty Kitchen-Aid stand mixer!

So, what's in that binder....
