The big news on the playground at my baby bassets school is all about the new Star Wars movie that is coming out. A new preview was release and boy did it cause a frenzy. It featured Chewbacca and Han Solo, and I actually screamed out loud when I saw them. It’s not the kids that are going crazy, but all the parents. Parties are being planned and we are making lists of the supplies we will need when we are waiting in line for the opening. Oh!! What to wear! I think it might be cold at night and with my height, I am leaning towards a Chebacca costume, but if I am Jabba the Hutt I can eat more treats.
