My kids are on a huge Star Wars kick right now. They've always enjoyed watching the movies, but recently they've gotten hooked on the video game and computer game as well. When I tell them it's time to turn off the electronic devices, they get out the light sabers and go at it until someone cries and I have to confiscate them to the top of the fridge. They've also rediscovered this helmet (have you ever seen such a ruthless Darth Vader??). Last Saturday when we were shopping they found the new Star Wars display in the toy section. They immediately started planning ways to save up to buy them - action figures, clone helmet and space ships - and asked what they could do for money chores. We told them they could wash the cars, so they spent the whole afternoon vacuuming the insides and cleaning the outsides. I've never seen them so motivated to work. Then today when we visited a friend and my kids got out their light sabers, she asked me if they're excited about the new Star Wars movie. We don't have T.V., so they never see commercials or movie previews. We had no idea the movie was coming out already. We looked it up on the internet when we got home, and apparently it starts next week. Of course now they can't wait to watch it.
