Darf Bader and Obie Nobie

It's official. My kids are Star Wars fans. Thanks to Auntie Paula.

She somehow stumbled on Return of the Jedi and had the kids completely engrossed in it. Next thing I knew they had rented that and Episode IV (I only know the episode number because I looked at the DVD). Ofcourse, there were some scenes they skipped, but all I have heard from Gage is, "Darf Bader, mommy, it's Darf Bader and Obie Nobie!".

Personally, I'm just not a huge fan of fantasy/sci-fi type movies (unlike the rest of my siblings). No offense to the gajillion of you that are, but, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, Spiderwick Chronicles and the like have never made it to my top 100 must see films. So, thanks a lot Auntie Paula, hopefully they will be returned soon and I won't have that muffled breathing, "Luke, I am your Father" in my head anymore!

Home again.

We're back! Had a great trip, will post pics soon. At the moment I am trying to forge through the laundry field in our living room. My mantra has become "one load at a time", I think I'm on twelve with about seven to go.....

Can't wait to catch up with everyone and get a bit of a routine going. Yesterday the kids and I turned in our cable boxes, phone modem and remote controls. We decided to save more than a hundred dollars a month by ditching our cable TV and home phone. Bye, bye DVR, you will not be missed as we plan on getting a lot more accomplished in your absence.

I will post a few pictures of our trip tonight!
