Summer is coming up fast, and once the kids are out of school all bets are off. Last year we ended up taking a break in posting most of the summer, but I promise we are not going to do that again this year. However, I want to warn you guys that we are probably going to slow the posting pace down…just a little bit. So don’t worry if you don’t hear from us 3 times a week like you did all spring! We are still here, still writing, still posting, and here is the good news – we are also getting a head start on a bunch of Halloween Costume posts.
Characters
Rey’s Krispies Treats
I can’t remember the last time I made a port-Rey-t out of food. However, when Dave and Joely brought “Rey’s Krispies Treats” to our Star Wars party, I’m af-Rey-d I simply couldn’t ref-Rey-n myself from taking their idea, and making one of The Force Awakens heroine. I p-Rey they forgive me for appropriating their punny name!
Yoda Perler Pixel Pattern
Yoda is a dichotomy. Child-like yet wise. Small yet powerful. A puppet, yet in many ways the most real and relatable character in the Star Wars universe.
He is also the only character that is (almost universally) loved by the absolute youngest fans, as well as the oldest. The really young’uns are scared or don’t connect to most other characters. The characters they do love, Jar Jar and the Ewoks, many adults can’t stand. But Yoda is different, and I think it is precisely because of the opposites he embodies.
Star Wars-y Beer (Downloadables)
We have many more beer drinkers than wine drinkers at our Star Wars parties. Yet we have always only had regular, “boring”, non-Star Wars beer. Well, thanks to a post by Red 5 Mom and a few of our friends, this year, we finally had beer fit for a Star Wars Cantina.
