Leggo my Lego!

This weekend we celebrate Andrew's 6th birthday.


I just had to let that sink in for a moment.... He is so excited for his party. He is consumed with Star Wars, so we are hosting Obi Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader for a little lightsaber duel at our house. And pizza. It's a little-known fact that Jedi Warriors live on a strict diet of cheese pizza and lemon-lime Gatorade, otherwise known as Yoda Juice. Speaking of Yoda, equally consumed Andrew is with Lego's. He has been dreaming of the boxes upon boxes of Star Wars Lego sets that he will receive for his birthday and the hours and hours of building he (read I) will do. Good times, good times....

He also wants to go to his favorite restaurant, Bottega Louie, for dinner. He will eat their cheese pizza--the best pizza EVER according to him--and order a chocolate souffle, which he will NOT share. Pretty sophisticated taste for a little kid who otherwise sustains himself with hot dogs and bagel sandwiches.

The weather is not supposed to cooperate: A winter storm is passing through from Canada, dropping the temperature about 10 degrees, as well as a fair amount of rain. Not the kind of conditions you're looking for when having rangy lightsaber fights in the yard.... But, then again, we likely won't notice or feel it. After all, didn't we just tell you: This weekend we celebrate Andrew's 6th birthday.

Love,
Paul & Cynthia
