My Little Death Star

Posted by fabricpile Sun, 18 Mar 2007 13:41:00 GMT

The Trouble With Tribbles was trivial.

With the help of Emma and Henry, The Empire has formed a new alliance with Heather Winds, Rainbow Splash, Amber Locks and the whole My Little Pony Club.

Look out, Sebulba! Vader has a new pod racer.

Meanwhile, the Rebels reconnoiter at the Littlest Pet Shop to plan their next move.

Henry has recently resurrected Mark’s old Playmobil pirate ship. He has always been very good at entertaining himself, and it’s also very entertaining listening to him play pirates.

This morning I caught this little dialog:

Pirate 1: Captain, he shot me with a cannon.
Captain: I told you not to shoot him with a cannon!
Pirate 2: Soooooorrrry!

His pirate play also appears to be heavily influenced by Star Trek:

Captain: You be the head of security.
Pirate 3: Yes, sir!

Weaving Families

Posted by fabricpile Sun, 04 Mar 2007 16:07:00 GMT

The “McTulis” familiy had a sleep-over last night. We traded our boys for the McFall girls.

Emma and Shelby spent the morning celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday (March 2) by reading aloud from the collection of Seuss tales we have on our shelves.

Kira and Macy pulled out the rag-rug loom that Pop-Pop made for us, and continued weaving together.
