I think I may have said before how obsessed A1 is with Star Wars. She has seen all the movies and LOOOOOVVVVEEEEESSSS them. Yes, A1 is a girl. A2 watches them as well and I really didn't think she was that into the movies until recently. A2 is extremely cute and sarcastic, and she's only 3. Lately she has been doing the funniest thing, she'll look at you and her eyes will get HUGE and she'll whisper something like "Mommy, Doctor Bader is behind you!." She calls Darth Vader, Doctor Bader. How cute is that? She also calls the light sabers life savers. So funny.
So now both of my kids recite lines from Star Wars and when they watch the movies they say the lines along with the movie. A2 hums the theme song and dances around to the music as the movie is on and A1 had taught her self how to play the theme song on the piano. A2's favorite line in the movie is when Han Solo says to Chewbaca "Laugh it up fuzz ball." She says that all the time. A1 draws pictures of all the characters which are actually pretty good and now A2 has started doing the same. I'll have to figure out how to put some more pics on my blog so you can see what they draw.
A1 was Princess Leia for Halloween and I have to say that that costume has gotten a lot of wear. It was well worth the 30 bucks I paid for it. It was the white dress, belt and a wig. They take turns playing different characters when they play dress up. A1 used to be Princess Leia a lot and A2 has taken an interest in being her too. Well, the costume is waaayy too big for her so she improvises and makes her own costume. She wears a white slip with a scarf tied around her waist and her snow boots. It is so cute. The cutest part is when she wears the wig with it. Her head is just a tad too small for it. Sometimes she puts a pair of pantyhose on her head if she can't find the wig. I try not to laugh at her because then she takes it off.
Another outfit they wear is something I am sure A1 came up with. In one of the Star Wars (A1 can tell you exactly which one. She can also name all the characters and planets on Star Wars) movies Princess a prisoner of Jaba the Hut. In this movie she wears a bikini type out fit and is chained up. So, when they are playing this Princess Leia character they really use their imaginations. I was shocked the first time I saw this new dress up outfit. Let's just say it could be deemed inappropriate. They put on a skirt (not so bad) and tie scarfs on their arms for the chains. Well, for the top part of the outfit they take their shirts off and take a pair of pantyhose and cross the legs of them across their chest so that the legs of the pantyhose are covering their "ta-ta's", as A1 puts it, and then they tie it behind their backs. Very creative. Not really appropriate for a 6 and 3 year old but creative.
One day, I was cleaning up in the kitchen and the girls were playing in their bed rooms. Their talks had been centered around Star Wars all day long so I shouldn't have been surprised when A2 wanted to play Star Wars. All was quiet when I heard "A2, let's play Star Wars! This can be our light saber." I heard a strange "buzz buzz buzz" so I went to check it out. Like I said, my kids are creative. A2 had brought her battery powered tooth brush into the living room and was waiving it around like a light saber. Before I knew it, they had their toothbrushes out and were fighting each other. This happened before Christmas so we thought that Santa should bring "real" light saber for Christmas. So he did. He also brought the original Star Wars trilogy. The light sabers are really neat and really big. The light saber part springs out from the handle and it lights up and makes all the sounds. Left in the hands of a 3 year old and 6 year old they can be quite dangerous. I don't think Santa thought that through too well. These light sabers have been the culprit of many bruises, knocked over lamps and drinks and probably added to the many scratches on the walls and doors. Things become very entertaining when the girls decide to be Luke and Darth Vader in the scene where Darth Vader cuts Luke's arm off. Or should I say Doctor Vader . . .
