The nerd in me is emerging...

I can't believe how excited I am about this...lol.
In first grade, the kids do a unit learning about eggs, they get to have an incubator and wait for baby chicks to hatch, etc. Well, one of the projects they do is an egg project. The assignment is for their whole family to work together and create something "eggs"tra special using eggs, egg shells, egg cartons, etc.
When Becka was in first grade, we decoupaged tissue paper on some blown out eggs to make a caterpillar. Guess what idea Jake and I came up with for his project?
That's right, STAR WARS! We are gonna make all the characters from the old movies (#4-6), Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Obi Wan, Chewbacca, Yoda, C3PO, R2D2 and Darth Vader. If I can figure out a way to make a model of the Millennium Falcon out of egg cartons, I am so gonna do it! I am so excited it is ridiculous! Time to get out my glue gun and have some fun!
