Love to Learn: Our 5 Favorite Star Wars Books

With May the 4th coming this Friday my boys and I have been thinking about and talking about Star Wars a lot lately.  That got me thinking about all the fun books we've read and I thought I'd share a few of our favorites today.



Jedi Academy-- My two biggest Star Wars fans enjoyed this series of books about a young Padawan who has been accepted into the Jedi Academy.  Complete with all the awkwardness of middle school this fun read takes place in a galaxy far, far away.



Science fair-- OK so this isn't really a Star Wars themed book but the main character has a father that is obsessed with Star Wars and he is being chased by two guys named Darth and the Wookie (Star Wars fans that want to see his father's prized collection of Star Wars paraphernalia). It is a hilarious book and would not be the same without all the Star Wars references.



 The Empire Strikes Back; So You Want to be a Jedi?--  This re-telling of the Empire Strikes back was a lot of fun with actual Jedi challenges mentioned that my boys just had to try out.  It is part of a series but we didn't enjoy the others nearly as much because they were missing the challenges.



The Strange Case of Origai Yoda -- This is another cute chapter book series that my boys enjoyed.  When Dwight makes an origami Yoga in class no one is that surprised; Dwight has always been a bit of an oddball but when his finger puppet starts doling out sage advice everyone begins wondering how a paper Yoda can know so much.



Choose Your Destiny Book:  A Han & Chewie Adventure-- My boys love choose your own adventure books and what could be better than a fun adventure story with Han and Chewie?

    I love when you can find books with themes kids love. It gets them excited to read and often leads them into other authors and series.

Prime Purchases I Made in March

Image
 Happy April Fool's day to you! It's the first Monday of the month and time for Prime Purchases with Tanya.  I was doing so well with my Amazon purchases right up until the end of the month when we decided to host Easter dinner at our house and I felt like I "needed" so much not having any Easter decorations at all.  I bought a few new cardigans for this "in between" season and really love this cable knit one so much it's all I can do to keep myself from buying a second one! I also like this gray one.. . but I find myself wishing I had bought it a different color since it's not very "spring" feeling.  Evan needed some new hiking shoes and we really wanted something waterproof this year but our local shoe stores didn't have anything that worked so we turned to Amazon and he found this pair that he really likes.  I've been working on lots of scrapbook pages and I needed to buy some more of these adhesive refills and Cricut cutting

Alec's Accepted Student Day at JWU

Image
Last spring when Alec started his college planning I was pretty surprised that he only wanted to visit 2 colleges out of state (he visited a few in-state with his high school culinary class).  He ultimately decided to apply to just the 2 colleges we visited-- Johnson and Wales University (JWU) and the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Both ranked as the #1 & #2 schools in the U.S for culinary and baking/pastry arts. Funny enough out of his 2 culinary teachers he's had in high school one attended each of those schools!  Photo of harborside campus from last spring JWU Future wildcat photo also from last spring Visiting the CIA over the summer We were lucky that both schools are easily visited in a day and we had a great time touring them both. Alec made sure to ask lots and lots of questions. The two schools were so comparable to one another that we had quite the pro/con list going.  He LOVED the CIA's campus and that it was along a river and rather rural and quiet... but

Day in the Life: Friday Favorites

Image
 I decided to document last Friday for today's Friday Favorites post. I hardly ever document a day in the life anymore now that my boys are grown and mostly on their own. But I knew we had a pretty full day and thought it might be fun.  These are some of my favorite posts to read and I think I did a pretty great job remembering to document and take pictures for the whole day! 5:00 wake up and I allow myself to blog, read emails, etc. until 5:30 5:30 get up, get dressed for the gym, put away my laundry from the night before, make the bed. 5:45 head downstairs to make Alec's lunch (1/2 way though he came to the balcony to tell me he wasn't going to school since he wasn't feeling well-- he's 18 and allowed to make this call himself).  I decided to make a salad, some chicken salad, hard boil some eggs, and cut up all the fruit since we had just done groceries after dinner last night and none of that had been done yet. I emptied, reloaded, and restarted the dishwasher.
