(One for him and one for my husband since I try to hide them when playdates come over... limits my liability.) When she was visiting last week she thought they might need shields to go with the lightsabers... I am pretty sure she hates me.

My 3.5 year old is already setting the stage for what HE wants to do for his 4th birthday party. And I am a sucker for those big brown eyes.

All toys purchased by grandparents go back to their houses. Afterall, they need to have toys for when we come over. Right???? Right. Hey, at least your dad didn't get your son two wooden swords and a shield from his recent travels to Europe. I am quickly making too many rules. No whacking things. No whacking people. Not inside. Don't hit too hard. The poor kid is basically allowed to wave it around. by himself. when no one else is within a 10 foot radius. Ah, grandparents and their spoiling. I’ve started a new rule.

You have to love the grandparents that give you the gifts that are the loudest and require the most patience. My mother always sends those!

BONUS for your son, not so good for you. You need earplugs and wine. Take care...you will survive and your son (and his friends) will have a blast. I love that picture of you...the expression on your face, the coffee within arm's length...sums it up all so well! The things we do for our kids. Good luck with the big bash! ;) It lights up AND moves? BONUS for your son, not so good for you. You need earplugs and wine.
