May The Force Be With You


Yes, for about a month now, every time I've turned on my car, Calder has requested Darth Vader's theme music (from Episode IV of "Star Wars"). I believe he's been getting into character. And both boys have been practicing beating the crap out of each other with their light sabers, so here we are, with two method actors in training. Zola, however, hasn't needed much practice in looking regal or giving her brothers funny looks. All that might just come naturally to her. Anyhoo, it was a Star Wars Halloween this year. Milo's already informed me that he gets to be Darth Vader next year.

Funny thing, although Calder's been wearing his Darth Vader mask off and on for the better part of the past two weeks, today he did not want to wear it. Oh well. That sure didn't stop him from swatting his brother with his light saber.

World's tiniest Darth Vader

Cutest little Princess Leia

We started out our afternoon with a birthday party for our friend Juliana and then, as the sun went down, headed out into the Elmwood Park neighborhood to trick or treat with many of our friends. The folks in Elmwood Park really get excited about Halloween, decorating their lovely old homes as haunted houses and dressing up in costume. It was delightfully spooky!
