Star Wars & Bunting
It’s that wonderful time of the year…… the preparation for Ben’s Birthday. It is no secret that I love birthdays, birthday parties, and all things that make them wonderful. So this year Ben is having a small (family and neighbors) Star Wars Lego party. I started on the invitation today and didn’t expect the reaction I received. You see I put bunting on it and apparently Star Wars and Bunting don’t go!!! My brother-in-law even went as far as comparing it to putting X Men in tutus. Andrew tried to tell me there is not such thing as Star Wars bunting. And my sister-in-law said it makes the Star Wars characters seem a little feminine. But I love it!! More importantly Ben thinks it is amazing!!! I think this will be the last year I can get away with bunting for his birthday. So in my world Star Wars and bunting are a perfect match!!!
A few hours later…… I rethought the whole bunting thing and went with stars. I still prefer the bunting….hehehhe!

The Most Important Thing in Ben’s Life…..
Ben’s Pre-Prep are participating in the ‘Through Children’s Eyes Photography Exhibition’. The images are taken by the children and themed around them capturing the things they feel are most important in their lives. Well…… guess what Ben picked…….. Mum’s DS!!! He told his teacher is was ‘because I like to play games on it everyday’. In his dreams maybe!!! So today when we got home we needed to take a photo of the DS. Ben said to me ‘Mum when we find the DS from your hiding place and take a photo….. Can I play it?’
Here is the photo. It is the only one in focus. We used my Nikon so I had to steady the camera while Ben looked through the viewfinder and pressed the button. Pretty good hey……
This is what Ben had to say about his picture ‘ This is the DS. Obi Wan Kenobi is a Jedi Knight in his ship. I like to play Star Wars Lego on Mum’s DS. It is my VERY favorite game.’ Very cute and I don’t know why I should expect anything but Star Wars to be what is important to Ben at the moment….. he just loves it. Mrs Symonds his teacher is learning about Star Wars very quickly!! She is so very patient and kind.
On a different note……. Ben’s school is getting a very important visitor next week. Prince William is dropping in for a visit while he is in Australia…… pretty special!!!
