Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Star Wars Day is May the Fourth, because of a famous quote from the hugely popular science fiction series blockbuster is: May the Force (Fourth) be with you!
Movie marathons with friends, Star Wars trivia games and even Star Wars themed snacks will guarantee this day is full of fun as well as being very educational. Because Star Wars itself is such an enormous topic, the ways of celebrating the day dedicated to it are virtually endless. So choose one, have fun, and May the 4th be with you!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
Sad to say I don’t have any star wars pictures to share today so go along with the theme for today I decided to do a search and see what kind of party food I could find to celebrate Star Wars Day. You can make sweet and salty sabers with large pretzel sticks and fruit roll ups. Just wrap up the pretzel stick with the roll up leaving some of the pretzel sticking out at the bottom.
You can also make Blue Milk. Mix 1 cup milk, ½ teaspoon unsweetened blue fruit punch mix and 1 teaspoon sugar. Pour the milk into a tall glass and gently stir in the blue fruit punch mix. The drink should be lightly tinted blue. Adjust the amount of mix to get the color that you like. Add sugar to taste.
Another idea I saw was to make TIE fighter cookies. They are made from the 100 calorie Oreo wafer cookie packs, mini marshamallows, and some white chocolate to stick it all together.
And last but not least was Yoda Soda. It’s a lot like frothy slosh. Just put in some scoops of green sherbet in a glass and pour in some ginger ale or 7 up.
In the geeky spirit of Star Wars Day, I found 12 great Jedi quotes to pull out next time you're trying to teach your child a valuable life lesson.
1. Do or do not… there is no try. Yoda
Just get on with it and get stuff done, dudes
2. Wars do not make one great. Yoda
No. They kill people, too.
3. I find your lack of faith disturbing. Darth Vader
Always have people who support your dreams, otherwise you want to throw them in the lava. Plus, listen to your parents, no matter how bad they seem.
4. Your eyes can deceive you, don’t trust them. Obi-Wan Kenobi
Look beneath the surface to discover what’s really going on.
5. Don’t get cocky, kid. Han Solo
No one likes a kid who’s too big for their boots. Never rest on your laurels.
6. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Yoda
Don’t let fear or anger take you from where you really want to go.
7. Your Jedi mind tricks don’t work on me, only money. Watto
Ain’t that always the way? Sometimes you have to pay up.
8. Who’s the more foolish, the fool? Or the fool who follows him? Obi- Wan Kenobi
Don’t just follow the crowd. You might be following an idiot.
9. “Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” – Obi- Wan Kenobi
Our greatest successes come after overcoming obstacles and failures.
10. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Yoda
One minute you’re scared, the next you’ve stuffed up. No one likes a hater.
11. Truly wonderful the mind of a child is. Yoda
Children are capable of amazingness. Parents already know that, but sometimes you have to remind the kids.
12. Let go of your hate. Luke Skywalker
It will ruin you.
Truly there are a lot of people who like Star Wars, some of my own children included. I’ve always like the saying, May the Force be with you only I say it a little differently. May God be with you till we meet again.
Hope you all have a great start to this new week. Happy Monday !
