Talk about patience...for being 5 Connor is the master of it!! Since Nate was on the boat we had told Connor that we would celebrate his birthday the day Dad came home - well when Nate was flown off the carrier for Cooper, Connor thought we were going to celebrate his birthday. I can see the whole logic in it...his Dad was coming home, but the birthday party would have to be put on hold again! SO the day we came home from the hospital we celebrated Connor's birthday in Connor style - steak, rice, fruit salad, and a cake - and of course lots of presents!!!
The following Monday we threw Connor his long awaited Star Wars the Clone Wars Party. You know your little boy is not so little anymore when he tells you he wants an all boy birthday party and then proceeds to tell you that he likes his friends that are girls but it would be best if it was just boys!
All of the boys came eager for their Jedi Training - a mission they eagerly accepted. The first task - to see how long they could keep the balloons in the air with their saber swords (which I made out of swimming noodles and electrical tape)!
Their second mission was to save Obi Wan, Yoda, and Padme who were taken by the Droids (simply stomping on the balloons which had pictures of the characters in them)!
Their favorite mission.......attacking Darth Vader by way of Green Light (Yoda) / Red Light (Darth Vader).
As the Star Wars theme played loudly in the yard, Darth Vader came out to accept the challenge!
Happy Birthday Connor - you are the best Jedi there is!!!
