A Long Time Ago, In a Galaxy Far Far Away....

Guess what they're into NOW??? Star Wars!!!!!!!! We think they heard about it at school from other kids. Honey was playing with some boys one day and she got to be Princess Leia. They started asking about the movie and Murray showed them some clips on YouTube. I was worried that the Darth Vader mask would give them nightmares (remember, they had them from playing Princes Wii the first time!) but they didn't seem too bothered by the images. That night, Lovey woke up to go to the bathroom and Murray went to check on her. He came back down chuckling. I asked what was so funny and he told me that although Lovey was barely awake, she still mumbled "I hope Mummy finds Star Wars, I reaaaaaaaaaallllllllly want to see it!" and then fell back into bed asleep instantly.

Since the movie is so old, I didn't think the local convenience store would have a copy and wasn't sure where to get it! On Saturday I took Lovey to her violin lesson and we stopped at a bigger movie place in town and were able to get a copy. The whole way home, she kept saying "I can't wait to tell Daddy & my sisters that we got Star Wars!!!!!!!!!!"

Murray & Dad were working on the deck when we started the movie but came in for the last few minutes. It was a loooooooooooong movie but it held the girls' interest the whole way through. Some parts led to a lot of questions as they had trouble following some of the action but they really enjoyed the whole thing. Their favourite parts were when the Princess was on the scene of course! Any time the story shifted away from her they'd instantly start asking "when's Princess Leia coming back on?!?!??!"

The best part is that there were NO nightmares that night! Woohoo! Now I just have to track down the sequels because they want more!
