Star Wars TIE Fighter

Lane has been studying the letter "H" at school the past couple of weeks and one of his projects was to make something out of a Hat! So, Lane being the boy he is wanted to do something with the Star Wars theme. Since Daddy was into Star Wars when he was little, (actually he still is), he was able to come up with the idea of doing Darth Vader's TIE Fighter. So off to Michaels we went to gather items to try and make this project a hit! We all worked for several hours and I think it turned out pretty good!

Here is the TIE Fighter we were trying to make.




Here is Lane's TIE Fighter!

Here is Darth Vader inside.



Mom made me put it on for a picture!


Lane was anxious to get to school to see what all of his friends would think of his creation. As we walked into his classroom all of the kids said "Wow Lane, that's awesome". He turned around and smiled at me and then said "yeah I know I worked really hard on this project." It was so funny because he was so proud. Of course I walked out with a big smile on my face too!!

That is awesome!! I could never make anything like that, much less even come up with the idea. Lane, you did a GREAT job (as did Mommy and Daddy)!
