May 4, 2013: Carousel, Kare Bear, Free Comics and Star Wars

What a full day we had on May 4th! It was a lot of fun to be able to just spend time having fun together as a family. We didn't do too many chores and we tried to just enjoy the day. We don't get a whole lot of days like that around here.

We started at the mall and of course we had a carousel ride because dad was with us.

And we stuffed Kara's special little Kare Bear at Build A Bear Workshop. The boys were so cute cleaning her up and getting her ready. They are excited for their sister to come. Jason bought the bear ahead of time and brought it home so I could sew on the supergirl patch. Then we took it back to stuff.


Next stop...Graham Cracker Comics for Free Comic Book Day which is the first Saturday of May each year. Maybe we have it set up as a repeating event on our Cozi Calendar. Maybe. We of course had to pick up a Star Wars edition since it was May 4th.

Then we had a baptism and a birthday party and then our first outdoor movie night of the year!

It was still a bit cold out for Star Wars Day, but you can't tell Jason no when it comes to outdoor movies. We just bundle up and brave the cold. We kept with tradition and picked up Milky Way and Star Crunch. This year we even added Yoda Soda. It's our typical punch just made green.

And here's the new set up with the inflatable screen. We are trying to figure out where we want everything and then Jason is actually going to run power out there. It sure will beat having wires everywhere.

It was good. The fourth was with us.

May The 4th Be With You

The other day a favorite blog posted about Star Wars Day. I had no idea there was such a thing. It's an annual event held on May the 4th. I'm a big fan of the puns, so this one had me chuckling all day long. May the 4th be with you...hehe! Clark decided that we should celebrate by watching Star Wars (the one with the Jedis). Jason decided that we should kick off the outdoor movie watching season. I decided that we needed treats. It was quite a last minute celebration, so we had to improvise!

Star Crunch and Milky Way seemed appropriate.

Boompa, Gigi, Stephanie, Kent, Zachery and Clara all getting ready for the movie to begin...

Zachery, Clark and Cameron trying to stay warm. Clark is such a baby about the flash. Cracks me up. "It's soooooo bright, mom."

The Princess Leia buns were a very last minute idea (as in 3 seconds before the picture) that's why they are a little sloppy. I had to borrow a ponytail holder from Steph to make them work. Next year we'll do it up right! I'm dressing as a wookie. :)

Return of the Jedi - good, good movie. Any movie with Ewoks is a good movie in my book. Do you remember The Ewok Adventure? I must have watched that a million times when I was little. "Star Cruiser, crsh, crsh." Love it.

I've already marked my calendar for May 4th, 2013...it's going to be a great Star Wars Day! (It'll probably look a lot like this one, hehe!)
