Derek's Jedi Training Party



For his birthday party, we decided to have a Jedi Training Party. Derek was concerned about how we were going to do this since none of us are true Jedi. I told him that Andy & I would take an online course. They believed that we did! So after completing our course of study, we had the boys do light saber training (bouncing a balloon with the saber) and blaster training (nerf guns with targets). Our friend down the street helped us (he, too was trained online in the ways of the Force).




However, our friend and Andy were truly bad guys and there was a small battle where they were defeated by a bunch of energized boys with light sabers and nerf guns!



We had cake and presents. The cake is supposed to be two light sabers crossing. The red saber was chocolate, the blue saber was white cake. Like dark and light. Good and evil. That sort of thing. One of the kids asked, "What's that supposed to be?" I replied, "Cake, now eat it!"



Derek and all the boys had a great time!

Oh my gosh I loved this post! I laughed at the part about the "online Jedi training" and the cake. You are so awesome and you have such a cute, fun family!
