Yoda is a big hit!
I watched as many of the extras on the second dvd of Revenge of the Sith as time allowed. A cool extra scene not on the final film showed Yoda crusing in his spaceship to Dagobah to begin his self-imposed exile on Dagobah. I think he says something like "Failed I have, to exile I must go." I like in the movie when he is talking to the Emperor and he says "OR should I call you Darth Sidious?"
Yoda is great with all his light saber duels and back flips. Plus the twins love him, he is a big hit at our house. Besides Yoda, they talk about Darth Vader the most- they are always asking me about his breathing, "why does he breathe so loud"? They seem to understand he is Luke and Princess Leia's father.
The colors on the newer Star Wars dvds are so bright, whereas the original films were kinda drab. However, the writing on the original trilogy obviosuly surpasses the newer films.
I gutted out 4 miles on the treadmill last night, the toe is healing I suppose though it is hard to tell!
Aga went clothes shopping and returned with three new shirts and 2 new pants for me which she had me try on. The shirts are excellent, a purple silk one, a white and green one, and a maroon one, all three shirts are long-sleeved button downs. The pants were dressy, one was black and the other green. She decided to save the new clothes to give me for Christmas, the shirts really are a substantial upgrade to my wardrobe so I did not argue.
The girls are still practicing writing their names, Julia now is writing her last name as well, though she keeps writing the leter "J" crooked. Other than she is writing her name perfectly. Nicki took a stuffed animal moose upstairs from the basement claiming "the moose needed to keep the tiger company because the tiger was getting lonely".
A 4 year old died at a local school in Des Plaines the other day, he was a classmate of a boy named Michael who plays with the twins sometimes. Michael's mother told Aga about it- I believe the child fell off a jungle gym and had head trauma, then later died. This is awfully sad and disturbing. I always believe nothing bad will happen to my daughters but I can not watch them 24 hours a day. When they go to the public school to begin kindergarten next year I guess I will worry. Ultimately I worry that they will not distinguish right from wrong. I remember how many times I was unsupervised growing up and some of the trouble I caused. Aga and I just need to do the best we can and hope it all works out. What else can we do?
It is pretty nice out today so Brian, Roley and I will have a picnic lunch during our break from work.
