Jedi Training

Some may not know this, but I actually have two fully trained Jedi's living here who not only know how to use the force but do on a regular basis. And whatever you do, don't you dare smile like, "Oh Drew, you are so cute" after Drew gives you some Jedi wisdom because he will immediately come back at you with, "No Mom, seriously . . . that's true." The other day we were driving in the car and I was saying that we needed to ask Dad about something, and Drew said in a serious voice, "Mom, Dad said yes."
"What?"
"No really, I'm using the force. My mind can speak with his mind."
Oh boy, how can you beat this kind of entertainment?
Well tonight before bed I walked upstairs and the boys were fighting with their light sabers with their eyes closed. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen. They were totally serious and apparently they were using the force to detect where to place their light sabers. I grabbed my camera but I was too late. Instead I tape recorded them giving me their light saber techniques and had them demonstrate them for me. When Lamon sees these videos he will probably wonder why in the world I was doing this instead of cleaning the messy living room pictured in the background. But you know, this is important business. If Jedi moves aren't practiced regurlarly . . . it is very possible that you could lose all of your skills. I mean honestly . . . I need a lot of practice! I didn't even hit Ada's light saber more than once the entire time. My moves were superb, but I need to work on my accuracy. I have my work cut out for me.

I'd like to see you bust out some cooler ones Lamon! :) Maybe you could do cooler ones than mine, but not Haydens. He's got some serious talent.

BEST. MOM. EVER.

I am evidently addicted to your blog, seeing how I've dug my way back to 2011. I'm going to be depressed when I make it back to the first post and don't have any new posts to read--so please keep them coming! I am seriously learning so much about what kind of mom I want to be as Eliza gets older and gets more siblings. You're the best, Mary! (Just so you're sure, this is Annie Hull. I don't want to be TOO much of a creeper. :))
