jedi turns 8- brings balance to force
when george lucas gave us star wars in the summer of 1977, i doubt he envisioned the barrage of space themed birthday parties that would follow. i nostalgically recall my first galactic b'day cake at age 8 or 9. aunt niki and darren built me a star wars battlefield cake complete with action figures from darren's own collection. life was good sitting on aunt niki's green, fuzzy, mushroom stool licking icing off the legs of my new Snaggletooth action figure (which, by the way, would have been worth $100 now-if i hadn't let my dog Harry play with it....).so, today jonathon reached his 8 yr milestone and we continued the aspiring jedi tradition by turning a box of duncan hines into a frenzied war zone.
of course, no true star wars party is complete without eating eyeballs..on your cupcake, obviously. (i feel a need to explain: the eyeball cupcakes were in honor of the one-eyed Trash Compactor Monster from the original star wars).
besides, after eating raccoon, a gummy bear eyeball doesnt really faze you.. jedi jon racked up with gifts ranging from star wars DVD's to some really nifty spiderman underwear. anyway, we are getting together at sissy's house this weekend to further our b'day celebration by adding shae and jeremiah to the list. i expect shae to get some sweet Transformers merchandise and jeremiah will probably end up with something from this season's Polly Pocket line..(if he's lucky). so, we are looking forward to thanksgiving up north, hope to see everyone there, we'll bring the raccoon and eyeballs..

Yummy... eyeball cupcakes, one of my favorites. Oh, who am I trying to kid, any kind of cupcakes are one of my favorites.
Thanks for the info and pictures last week. They were just what I needed to get everything finished. See you guys in a few days at Grandma's house.
HAHA!! Eyeballs... why didn't i get any? And good job predicting Shae's Transformer cache :) We got that for one of the kids when it was on sale at Target then decided Shae would enjoy it more... it is kind of disturbing how much he loves robots in disguise. 8o
Tell me about it! My pic has just finally made it to his phone. Optimus Prime has been dominating my husband's affections for far too long. I can hardly wait for the sequel to come out...oh no, there has been a writer's strike! Looks like we may have to wait another year..blast it!
Maybe you could dress up like a Transformer when you go into labor and the baby-bot will appear!! Nevermind - Shae would probably pass out from the sheer joy.
