I know, I have 4 eyes here, but Matt refused to break the Museum rules and use a flash. So, here I am in a really fuzzy picture with the actual droids from Star Wars, and the white robe that Princess Leah wore in the beginning.

The kids (and Matt) really enjoyed getting to ride the hovercraft. In the movie it uses repulsor lift, but here, it was just air. Really cool though. It actually got going pretty fast.

Chandler putting the all terrain wheels on his robot.

C3PO and his posse.

The kids really enjoyed the robot section, and especially listening to an MIT scientist talk to C3PO along with several other robots on stage.

Morgan designing and programing her robot to make turns, detect heat, and go through an obstacle course.

"Look dad! He's moving!"

Gabe programing his robot.

Morgan's mini photo shoot.

I'm not quite sure why they all decided to close their eyes here...

Gabe needed a little help with his silly face.

R2, where did you put my curlers?

"Oh Ani, you'll always be that little boy I met on Tatatoiny"

"Search your feelings, you know it to be true!"

Has anyone seen my pod racer?

If Darth Maul and Hannah Montana had a baby.

Even the inside of the elevator was Star Wars themed.

The flag cupcakes I made for our pack's Blue and Gold Banquet this year.

Got Milk?

I was a lazy mom today, and made breakfast for dinner for the kids. Matt wasn't home yet, and I was busy getting everyone everything they needed, listening to their conversations, and decided to call Matt to see where he was. Gabe has just tossed out the following comment: "I don't like eggs, cause I don't like eating something that just came from an animal"

I decided to get in on the conversation while I was waiting for Matt to pick up the phone.

Me: But you drink milk and it comes from an animal.

Gabe: ya, but I don't really like milk.

Me: but you like eggnog, and it has both eggs and milk straight from the animal's butt. (I know...several parental errors here. First, I realize that these things don't actually come from an animals rear, second, I didn't think that the kids would notice and that this was hardly the time for an anatomy lesson, and Third, we honestly try not to say butt at our house, but give me a break, it was the end of a long day and I was in three different places.) I also didn't realize that Matt had picked up on the other line as Chandler said the following and I responded....

Chandler: Milk doesn't come from the butt, it comes from the balls.

Me: (still not aware that Matt is now on the phone I'm holding to my ear) It doesn't come from the balls, it comes from the boobs.

Matt: hello?

Me: oh, hi.

Chandler: Well, the boobs are those big pink things right next to the balls.

Me: If they have boobs, they don't have balls.

Matt: (now laughing so hard he can hardly talk) sounds like you've had a fun day!

Chandler: But Uncle Jeremy cut off his cow's balls.

Me: that's because Uncle Jeremy's cow is a boy. (to Matt) So, where are you?

Matt: I'm coming down the hill. Hey I know, why don't we take the kids to spend some more time at a farm?

So, my day came down to this stimulating conversation of boobs vs. balls. I think boobs won.
