Today was Ethan's party. It went pretty good. Had one no-show and one non-responder; 2 sets of parents stayed. The last kid is still here, but she was Kyra's friend assigned to kid wrangling, and she arrived late, so no biggie.
The lightsabers were a big hit, as were the inflatable ones for the little sisters. 2 kids took us up on the offer to wear a costume, so we had a storm trooper and a jedi knight.
I'm very disappointed to say that the cake looked fine despite being custom-designed. Yes, that is a strange comment, so I'll qualify it. Ever since I discovered the Cake Wrecks blog, I've been scheming for a situation where I can trick a decorator into messing up our cake order so I could send the resulting hilarious photos to Cake Wrecks. This even seemed tailor made for such a screw up, considering the bakery did not have a Star Wars-themed cake on hand. They did have a Darth Vader head (and as it turns out also an Anakin Skywalker head) so we agreed on Vader on top of a Star Trek cake. I was rather hoping it would be horrible. As it is, there were some inexplicable orange swoops surrounding Vader. Not sure what they represent, but not really that funny either. I'm sending a picture in anyway because you can never tell.

Ethan's new Luke Skywalker costume was cool but a bit big (hence the missing arm?? Not sure what he was doing here....)
