Day 18: The One With The Mustache Is Always The Spy

This rainy windy winter storm hit it's peak today. Winds are fierce, the county is flooding and we are battening down the hatches, folks! 

A couple of weeks ago I had bought some synthetic snow and we had a great time with the arctic Legos in the "snow" on the dining room floor. We had scraped up as much of the snow as we could and stored it in a couple of tupperware containers for a rainy day. 

Guess what? It's raining. 

I didn't like how hard it was to clean up the snow off the floor last time, so this time I decided to bring in Rebel's little kiddie pool inside, clean it off and plop it on the floor and dump the snow in to contain it. 

It was a runaway success. The snow only covered a fraction of the pool, but that gave room for the boys to sit in it. They decided this time around that they were going to play Star Wars, specifically the planet Hoth style of Star Wars. They brought down their Star Wars Legos, and aircraft hangar and some arctic ice pieces (for the Rebel base, of course).

An AT-AT was attacking but Luke Skywalker and his twin Otto were battling to beat the onslaught of stormtroopers. There's ALWAYS two of the favored character in our house, so instead of fighting, there's always twins - Camden named Luke's twin. 

Yes, I know Luke Skywalker actually has a twin (Leia). But when you have two boys, NO ONE is going to be willing to be the GIRL. Darth Vader also has a twin in this story, named Darth Hater. 

There was also an Imperial Spy infiltrating the base. This sparked a debate on whether Imperial Army even had spies, or if only the Rebels had spies. But of course the Imperials had spies, look at Lando, Calen says. 

This is what we talk about as a family. Y'all are out there discussing Fortnite and the Kardashians, we are discussing Rebel vs Imperial Star Wars spies. 

We win. Sorry-not-sorry. 

Anyways, Calen declared this one mustached Lego guy the Imperial Spy. He's the spy because he has a mustache, of course. You can't trust anyone with a mustache. 

I love how their minds work. 

The Imperial Spy!

Also tonight, Camden brought home a little 100 piece Minions jigsaw puzzle that he won as a prize at school, and asked if I would help him build it. Of course I would! So we built it together at the table, and then during a movie tonight (Incredibles 2) he asked if I'd help him build it with him again. I've been feeling the dread of them growing up lately, so when I hear a still-tiny voice asking "Mommy do you want to help me make this again?" I will always jump at the chance.
