I escaped last weekend with two wonderful friends to a spa in Martinborough, the wine region near Wellington. It was wonderful, relaxing, healing and full of laughter. All made even better by the fact that Jake had an entire weekend off (GASP!) and spent it with the girls so I could get away, anxiety free.
Everyone had a great time free of separation anxiety and full of Star Wars! I came back to a Star Wars focused family. Many discussions were being had about "RDD2", "the guy in the tree with the pointy ears", "the two guys fighting with flashlights", and "the walking guys getting closer and CLOSER AND CLOSER!".
Jake had apparently been searching around town to get the girls some action figures that would work for the girls. R2D2 was specifically being sought. Sadly, we couldn't find him anywhere. Josie picked out a Clone Wars cell phone which I think is totally lame. Not one authentic Star Wars sound effect included! Josie however, is in love with it! Sophie scored a C3PO figure and instantly made a bed for him in a paua shell, complete with tissue pillow and blanket. She took him to nap with her, happy as a clam, er, paua. ;) When she woke up, she staggered out, forgetting, I think, that she only had her pull up on. This is what was written on her leg.
In case you can't make it out it says "Sophie loves C3PO". I called Jake and we both had a good chuckle about it.

They've taken their first step into a larger world.
No R2?!?!
Good thing you'll be coming by Uncle Hat's around the holidays.
Jake and Nicholas should have a Stars Wars retreat, he is a junkie...I'm OK with that though.
