The Harrowing/Heartwarming Parent Moment of the Week

Princess Leia pulled down the tree…again!

She sneaks over to an ornament, grabs it in her jaws, and tugs until, bam. The tree smashes down and everyone runs into the room. I think she might actually be saying she wants more attention, longer walks, liver?

I catch the boys playing an imaginary game wherein they reenact the Star Wars movies…only with their chickens as the main characters. The big dramatic moment came when KingVader used her light saber to chop off PaintballSkywalker’s tail feathers. Noooooooooooooooooo!

I borrowed a book from one of my children. When I returned it, he was horrified to see a cup ring upon the cover, faint, but visible. “Momma, did you set coffee on my book?” Um… and so I got out the white toothpaste and scrubbed his book very carefully until the coffee stain was gone. He smiled at me when I handed it back once more. Man, I love those little boys!
