Best Performance in a Leading Role #SilentSunday

My daughter is thrilled and very excited to add "Jedi Training Academy" to her must do list for our next trip to Disney's Hollywood Studios. So I couldn't resist getting my youngling her very own Ahsoka hoodie for her birthday. Happy Birthday, little padawan. I'm so glad that Ashley Eckstein (who, incidentally also voices the character Ahsoka in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series) features all the cute and girly clothes a little girly Star Wars fan might want. So I tweeted this photo of Kylee on her birthday. Add caption Ashley, being an awesome human being, tweeted back to with her a Happy Birthday. I told Kylee.  WHATTTTT!?! She wants to know when she'll be old enough for her own twitter feed so that "I can be friends with Ahsoka too. The #DisneySide is strong with this one. Thank you again, for making her birthday super special! 

With Star Wars Weekends upon us, one can never be too careful. According to the Harrisburg Pennsylvania police , this stick figure family may be doing damage to your family unit.    Do? Or Do Not? Actually, not the Solos in particular, but any stick figure family. By letting criminals know how many people are in your family, whether you have a dog etc. they caution that you could be setting yourself up as a target. Our stick figure family does let possible perpetrators know that my husband is a complete nerd and so am I and our two children. Also that we don't care much if you know. You could figure out the same thing if you saw us in person on any given day I don't view any of this as particularly private information, hence the stickers, but if you do, maybe skip the stick figure family.
