May the 4th be with you!

What better way to spend a rainy Saturday than at our local comic book store?  I like to share my geekiness with the kids by taking them to Free Comic Book Day every year!

This year, it was even better because it fell on May the 4th - Star Wars Day - so there were plenty of people in Star Wars costumes at the shop.  David loves all things Star Wars, and Sophie knows a lot about it just by spending so much time around her brother's obsession, so they were more than happy to pose for pictures with the characters we encountered.

We picked up our free comics and a few other things, then had lunch with some friends - and now we're home reading the free comics!  David chose a Star Wars/Avatar double comic, plus ones featuring Spongebob and the Smurfs; Sophie picked a Tinkerbell comic, one with the Tick and a third with the Incredible Hulk.  I'm a proud geek mommy today (and every day - but I love seeing my kids enjoy geeky things too)!
