The joy of a new toy

I awoke shortly after 8 a.m. today. Blessed event! I could scarcely believe it. The boys never sleep past 6:30 but for some reason they had not disturbed me or Hubby this morning.

That reason could of course course mean that our apartment was in ruins. I imagined permanent marker artwork on the walls, bags of cereal on the floor surrounded by their contents, more toothbrushes missing and a bathroom filled with toilet water. However I was pleasantly surprised when I neared the dining room and heard sounds of battle emanating from little boy mouths and found this:

WHEW!

To the friend who brought Darth Tater over last night. I thank you. Their tiny Star Wars figures had been battling the giant evil Darth Tater for a good two hours according to Count Dooku who said he was up at 6 o’cwock and had found said Tater in a bag on the floor (rather near my permanent marker stash, yes I know I need to move them).

As of this moment the battle is still undecided, but the group is hoping their recruitment of a Happy Meal Bee toy in their defense will mean the difference between victory and getting “mashed”.

Darth Tater: MUHAHAHAHAHA! If I can’t destroy you, Summer’s corny puns surely will!!!

    Now THIS is some solid blog content! LOL

    What is it with kids and toothbrushes? If I can keep them in the bathroom, they’re destroyed within a week anyway. Thank God for the 2/$1 toothbrushes at WalMart.
