Star Wars Lego Lucas

Almost every single night since his 6th birthday, Lucas has laid in bed at night, just after lights out and whispered in my ear, "Mum, for my next birthday I want  a Star Wars Lego party with a remote controlled spider and a remote controlled snake."

"Er... We'll see!" I say almost every night.

Well the day came, and all his dreams came true.. and then some. x

Check out the preparations here

I accidentally invited the whole of his year! Luckily it's a long weekend and only 13 could make it! :)

After initial training, the kids were tested. They could use both of their new skills - the Jedi mind trick and light saber fighting.

To our surprise we had 4 unexpected visitors... they were in white so we called them Storm troopers and put them to work!

 After fighting the storm troopers on the flying fox, the kids ran into an aerial attack:

 (good job it was a hot day!)

After lots of battles with the Storm Troopers  (poor guys! They got beaten to a pulp :) Hahaha!) we had cake. Totally yummy, strawberry-lemon cake with white choc icing. Homemade marzipan Lego men were yummy. Should have made more!

After fighting through the undergrowth, finding enemy balloons and bashing them, they made their way to the Death Star!

This little girl got so into it, that she went for another super whack - watch out Steve!

The final blow!

Just as parents arrived, the Rebel Alliance was ready for their own areal attack.. on the Mums and Dads!

Then lastly, the non-lolly bag to take home. Of course they got to keep their light saber and cup full of pinata lollies. So this was a fun extra. Homemade Lego crayon shapes with a mini colouring in book.

I LOVED that the kids went for the R2D2 water bottles, glugged down the Jedi Juice (mild apple juice), and munched on all the healthy snacks (Darth Vader cookies may have been a bit evil, but if they had a wookie cookie to follow it would balance out right).

We all went home exhausted and on a buzz. It was SO MUCH FUN!!!! I can't wait for Riley's now. It's an easy one, another trip to the fire station :) Aaah!
