You might be asking yourself what these strange leetle creatures are. Hmmm…Art? Toys? Um, I dunno, maybe beercaps with duct tape and googly eyes glued on? 
Wrong. Wrong. And wrong again. These fabulous creatures are… drumroll… STORM TROOPERS. My N-Dawg is OBSESSED with Star Wars. And God forbid I mess up and call it Star Trek- Only one time did I make that mistake.
Anyway- N found a ton of beercaps from the restaurant and decided to make his own little army. Some duct tape, a large bottle of blue glitter glue, some pony beads and googly eyes, and we have a ferocious army of storm troopers. They are everywhere! Strategically placed, mind you, in formations to fight. Cute little boogers, but a little unnerving to wake up, turn your head, and have one of them staring at you from your pillow. They are in my purse, my school stuff, hidden in my plants, perched on the side of the tub (that one is the perv storm trooper, methinks…)- everywhere!!
Epiphany- I either have a really creative kid with a great imagination, or I am so poor that my kiddos have to play with beercaps for fun. Heh heh. No worries- my kids have all of the obnoxious toys that their friends have, except for the Wii- I worry about me elbowing them out of the way so I can play and make Miis..

N Dawg lost his first tooth on Friday. Wow- who knew that one little gap could cause such a cute whistling with every word? He looks so much bigger now- more KID than baby. Okay, I know, I know- six is not ‘baby’ but to me it is very much so!
I asked him if he was going to put the thing under his pillow, and he paused.

“Ummmmmm… I don’t fink so. I fink I’m gonna hold out for more money.”

Alrighty, Alex P. Keaton. Whatever floats your boat.

(Footnote- he crumbled and got a dollar from the Tooth Fairy. Who knows, maybe, next time, he gets a Sacawagea?!?)
