No, it isn't Tex related, but I wanted to show you what a little elbow grease can do to make your kid look Star Wars awesome. It's one of those Force Awakens statues sold at the big box stores. Tanner and I gutted it completely, used velcro, webbing, snaps and rivets to put it together. We did have to buy him a set of gloves and a halemt that would fit his noggin.
My son LOVES to wear this.

Oh, we finally had that talk when he was 5 years old. I knew I couldn't let him think that way, though I LOVED the enthusiasm for, "When can we go there, Mommy?!?" *sigh* He knows it's all for fun. He's like a walking encyclopedia now, and knows so much more about my own costume character. I didn't even know there was that much background information.
He and I donned our costumes and visited two second grade classrooms (his current one and Willow's 2nd grade teacher), and his old first grade and kindergarten classrooms. I read at least one book and did alot of Q&A about Star Wars and the costumersclub. I'm really glad Dorian wanted to do this with me as a stormtrooper too; He had alot of answers even I didn't know! For pictures, I got them to say, May the 4th be with You! and told them that Friday was Revenge of the 5th Day. *G!* Dorian wants to make up something for the 6th, but I told him the world can only take two days of this stuff.
Later after school, a local library asked us to come read a book and tell a bit about Star Wars & costuming clubs (geared towards kids). Willow threw on her Jedi for it too. Alot of fun, but boy were we tired that night!
