Boys are crazy about Star Wars! It seems that the battle between Good and Evil is as much a part of a little boy's make-up as fighting is. I guess Star Wars offers such obvious opportunities for heroicism and villain play that kids are forever attracted to the characters and story. Anyways, Ben wanted Darth Vader to come to his birthday, and he now says it was his best birthday EVER! (Personally, I prefered the bugman who brought cool insects for the kids to look at and touch.)
So, Darth Vader came to Ben's birthday this year. He played tag, Simon says, hide and seek, and a Star Wars version of Duck, Duck, Goose. Darth was very high energy, and kept the party going for the obligate hour before cake and ice-cream was served,and presents were opened. We parents were quite happy to sit and watch on the side lines, and to NOT expend the energy that Darth did....
Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birth day Ben, Look's like a fun party. sorry we missed it.
Sarah- What do think will be a good belated birth day gift for Ben and Liam.

Legos will be forever appreciated by both. They are also now old enough for board games if you know of any good ones.
ReplyDeleteBen's actual birthday is not until the 5th, but we celebrated early because I'm working; and because it's hard to compete with firework festivities.
Looks like a fun party. I put the package for Ben in the mail this morning and hope it gets there by Saturday because there is no delivery Monday. If not, let Ben know it will be there Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteDarth looks great. Did he have an altered voice?
ReplyDeleteThat anonymous was me, Kalyani.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't have a really scary Darth voice, but he did lower his voice and it was quite muffled by the mask. Not much talking went on though. There was mostly alot of screaming and laughing from the kids. He kept things moving after quick game instructions. Liam and another younger friend, Natelie, stayed by my side for the first 15 minutes and then went out to join the games.
