Vadering

Admiral Motti has passed away - or at least the actor who portrayed him did.  For those of you unfamiliar with the character, he's the guy on the Death Star who pushes Darth Vader a bit too far.  The end result is a "force choke," where the poor Admiral learns the importance of keeping your mouth shut.

Apparently, this has reinvigorated a meme that Daddy may have missed out on the first time.  It's called "Vadering."

As you can see here, Madison is testing her powers, and it's not going well for Daddy.  It's a simple enough idea to do when taking the photo - Mommy was behind the camera on this one.  It looks pretty funny, as if Daddy is being lifted upwards.

Bottom line:  don't mess with Madison.  We're hoping she steers away from the Sith side of things a bit, of course.  For what it's worth, Daddy actually has an action figure of Admiral Motti, which is pretty obscure if you ask me.  Not quite as obscure as Wilrow Hood, Jek Porkins or Muftak.  But obscure nonetheless!

Today we got some piano in - the recital is still coming up!  We had some more fun with games and ice pops, and then looked at the weather:  can you believe the temperature is going to plunge again tomorrow?  It won't be bitterly cold or anything, but we're all about to get chilly again!

The day was spent at the office, where we tried some more "Vadering," and had another fun picture:

This was taken at our office, which is pretty much where Daddy spends his Wednesdays.  We had a great night tonight, as we talked about Nehemiah, and his big walls.  Of course, this brings to mind the walls that Daddy has climbed - and just about passed out doing:  the Great Wall of China.

The message was a good one.  Or, at least Daddy was really into it.  We were building walls on the stage and setting up the boundaries in our lives.  That's all part of our adventure at KidPak, while Under Construction.  Of course, we showed the old cartoon we redid the sound for:  it was a cartoon dedicated to Nehemiah (or Nehemiar, if you speak redneck).  Anyway, we took all the audio out, and made it into a goofy cartoon with new voices and new dialogue (and new sound effects and music).
