Feeling the force

Dizzy

Sometimes it felt like this.

Gleeful shooting

Even Richard joined in, much to the joy of the kids.

Lightsaber battles

At the end of the Jedi training each kid got a lightsaber (great find at the dollar store!).

Jedi Training

We had a scavenger hunt/jedi training.

Julien's b-day

Julien had a star wars party this year. We invited a smaller number of kids this year, which made it much easier!

Friends at my 40th

Turning 40

Sebastian is napping and Julien is watch 101 dalmations, so I figured I have time to catch up on my blog!

We had a small party for my 40th B-day. Lane made yummy chocolate cupcakes with blackberry icing.

Mrs Killions class blog

Julien's teacher is publishing a blog this year. It's cool! There is a cute photo of Julien wrapped up like a mummy. One of the little girls next to him, with the longer hair, is Joy, Julien's current crush.

Still sick, but getting better

Sebastian slept through the night and woke up with a normal temperature. Julien woke up with a fever of 102.7, but is only in the low 99s this afternoon without tylenol. I think we are making it through to the other side. unfortunately Sebastian has a case of the grumpies and it is almost impossible to get him to eat. I will keep trying!

Yoda poses

On Sebastian's first day of illness before his fever was so high Sebastian enjoyed posing as yoda. Very fierce. I don't have photos of myself, but I wore face paint too!

Halloween party

Julien had a wonderful time at his friend Dylan's party. He was happy to see his other friend Dylin was there as Darth Vadar.

Trick-or-Treating

Richard took Julien trick or treating while Sebastian stayed home to give out candy. Luckily Julien had a halloween party to go to and friends to trick-or-treat with. I took Sebastian out trick or treating at a couple nieghbors houses. It was just enought to feel like he had a halloween. However, he thought all the candy tasted yucky.

Carving pumpkins

Before Sebastian was sick we carved pumpkins. Julien designed them and I carved them. One of them is a Yoda pumpkin-Sebastian's request.

Swine flu Halloween

Unfortunately, swine flu has struck. Sebastian had a fever starting on Friday (luckily I had already planned to have the day off). He has had a scary high fever and a cough. The first night his fever got up to 104.7. Fortunately medicine worked, at least a little. Only Julien has been sleeping well the last two nights.

Evenings at our house

Charge!

Legos!

There is lots of Lego building at our house. And lots of concern when a Lego character is misplaced (or a lightsaber lost). And when we play other things (like lightsaber battles), Sebastian often asks us to have "Lego hands" which entails holding our hands in the position that Lego characters hold their hands.

Dragon's Egg

We have read Dragons egg so many times that Sebastian has the whole book memorized. Now he can read it to us!

Bugs Bunny

Julien lost teeth on either side of his front teeth. He makes a great Bugs Bunny.

Sebastian can dance like this

Sebastian had an exuberant evening after a day of no napping. He dumped over a container of legos and proceeded to dance on them. He wanted to show me his moves.
