Clone Wars Season Premiere

The countdown is over.  Since May, Jake has been counting the weeks until Star Wars, The Clone Wars returned to Cartoon Network.  So in preparation for the big night, Luke helped me make Star Wars cookies while the others were at school. 

We celebrated the big night with a small Star Wars dinner, Tie-Fighter Hot Dogs, Darth's Doritos, Greedo's Grapes, Star Wars Fruit Snacks and Yoda Soda to go with the fun cookies.

The only thing better than tonight's festivities is that next week, for show #2, which "looks totally AWESOME!", according to Jake after watching the sneak peek, will be on Jake's birthday.  Bonus.  The force is definitely with us!

Special Powers

"Ready are you?" "Help you I can, yes."

Yoda Soda Recipe

Lime Sherbert
Lemon Lime Soda (Sprite, 7-Up etc.)

Put a few scoops of Lime Sherbert in a tall cup. Pour soda onto sherbert in cup. "Power Bubbles" will appear. Talk like Yoda while drinking.

“Feel the force!” -- Yoda

A Long Time Ago

In a Galaxy not so far away, a baby boy was born named Jake.

As he grew, it became evident.

The force was strong with this one...

Can he measure up? Jake on his 3rd birthday
