Force Field

For the past few months(or since we saw a live Star Wars show in Disney World), the boys have fallen for the power of the Jedi.  They have watched all of the movies, and now know more about Star Wars than I ever dreamed that would even want to know.  A friend warned me about this.....she told me it is coming and your boys will love it!!  After the live show in Disney, the boys were hooked.  The show was interactive, allowing the kids to go through training to be a part of the warriors.  A very thrilling experience to say the least.
So now, I hear lots of swooshing and swishing on a daily basis.  I laughed to myself a few days ago because if I close my eyes I would've thought that I was actually in the movie!!  These days are filled with LOTS of imagination and role playing.  I wouldn't trade it for the world!  I love to listen to my boys as the pretend and interact with each other. They have asked to be Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader for halloween...even though the Captain America costume caught Mason's eye and now he wants to be 2 different characters :)

Days are busy, but I try to stop and enjoy the moments that I will never get back.  They are growing at warp speed and even though I am sad there are no more babies I also love each phase they go through.  In the car this week, Mason said "moma, just so you know there is a force field around the car."  Carson says "yes, Mason I can see it."  I just looked and responded "always good to have a force field on the way to school."
Just this morning, I overheard them saying that their belts would be a force field for them today....helping them to get through a day at school :)

May there always be a force field around my 2 precious gifts and may it continue to come from the good Lord above.
