I wonder if the average household has nearly a dozen storm troopers in it. I wonder too if that same household has three lightsabers, three pairs of Star Wars pajama sets...

In loving Luke and selecting for our first date movie, Empire Strikes Back, I probably set all of this in motion years ago. I knew that Luke loved Star Wars from the first days of our dating. I knew that having a son meant having a legacy and not in the, "we share a last name sort of way" but rather in the, "I have someone to play with Star Wars Legos with" sort of manner. There are many things that bond father and son, but Star Wars is pretty high up there. Luke's love of Quinn's love of Star Wars is very cute and because I love both of these individuals more than anything, I tend to encourage it. Tonight, there's some sort of SW Lego set on Swoopo and it's only at $1 right now. It was up on the computer screen and Quinn saw it and believed it was a magical computer portal to a SW game. I went to the Lego website and tried to find a game. Instead, I found some fun Lego SW video clips that the two boys are now standing together and watching. Quinn is actually in the office chair and Luke is perched over him, happy and entertained by this new family find. The two boys were playing Lego SW on the Wii earlier and Quinn is coming along in his remote skills. Of course, Quinn also used the word stupid for the very first time yesterday and this was when his Clone soldier was speaking meanly to the Storm Trooper and calling him stupid. oh my. The lessons one will learn from SW.

We have a new car and Quinn is all abuzz with it. At first, it threw him off and we had a couple, "where is our car?" moments in the parking lot as a family, with Quinn not able to immediately spot our former embarrassing wreck of a car. Quinn came back from his grandparents house this weekend and said that he needed a new pair of SW pajamas because the ones he had been wearing were dirty. Of course, instead of really taking on that battle, what did we do? Went to the "shopping store" and bought a new pair of jammies. They are rather cute, if I do say so myself. They're lego SW and red. Quinn even put on his own jammies tonight. Well, at least 90% of them:)

Quinn had a good overnight with Nana and Papa but I think he's accustomed to the down time of weekends and has been a little sassier the past couple of days. I think we'll need to save overnights for three days weekends or situations like that. Otherwise, his temperament and schedule is a bit much:) Still, his grandparents adore him and I am glad to nurture that love with extended visits.

Quinn is all about Cinnamon Toast Crunch lately and we also have a liking for chocolate milk. Noodles and Co. continue to be a go-to sure thing for lunches at school, as Pros reported to us the other day. More later. Loving my boys!
