A couple weeks ago Kristin came up with this clever way to give the boys incentive to obey.  She drew these little trees on paper and each leaf had a number.  If the boys were asked to do something and did it the first time they would move up the tree one spot.  If they were asked more than once, they moved down.  We told them that when they reached twenty-two at the top of the tree they could go see Star Wars - The Clone Wars.  That’s a big deal for for a six year old and a three year old, but it’s also a pretty big challenge to get to twenty-two.

Anyway, yesterday the boys finally reached their goal and we made plans to leave after dinner and have a boys night.  We stashed ‘cheaper than theatre’ candy in our pockets and went to the theater.  I hadn’t heard anything about the new Star Wars movie, but the boys were super excited about it.  Now, one thing I can say is that I think they should have made all the Star Wars movies like this one.  I might offend some Star Wars geeks out there, but this is easily the best Star Wars movie out there.  I know the other ones were revolutionary for their time and all that, but the problem is they had bad actors and they were written poorly.  Come on.  Tell me you don’t agree.

Anyone else seen it?  Heard anything about it?  Weirded out by Jabba the Hutt’s gay uncle?
