darth vader and a marshmallow


Darth Vader


a marshmallow

a.k.a. the little girl who pitched a fit when it was time to put on her Princess Leia costume

(Why is it that chubby thighs and a pot belly look so adorable on a two-year-old but not so adorable on a 37-year-old?)


Darth Vader and a marshmallow


Minutes later, the marshmallow turned into a grumpy cheerleader.

(thanks to a mom who remembered the cheerleader outfit in the bottom drawer)


I'm only disappointed that the Princess Leia costume didn't get worn because I sewed part of it.
Yes, I SEWED!
I felt totally validated as a good mother for a few minutes.

The only part I sewed was some hair clips onto the big hair buns.
But still, I sewed.

Maybe she'll wear it next year.
I'm pretty sure it'll still fit.
And I'm pretty sure Danny will still want to be something Star Wars.

FUN! But the real questions is was "Daddy" Chewbacca? I mean with all that hair it is such a natural!

Cathy said...

No, Bobie. Daddy was not Chewbacca because Mommy didn't get her act together in time to make that sash thingee. Maybe next year.

Dan said...

Bobie, I don't know if I should be more offended that you called me hairy or that you referred to me as "it!"
I'm just happy that you didn't make any comments about the U of U.

Chubby thighs and a pot belly are only the tip of the iceburg... Kids get away with all kinds of stuff.
