Little superheros!

Honestly I think Ben is sooo funny! He woke up at 5:30 in the morning and ran into our room frantic! He was saying over and over "Mom, I have been waiting all week to wear my spider-man costume, can I PLEEEEEAZZZE put it on!" There was such desperation in his voice. After I woke up for a second I told him that first of all that this was the first I had ever heard of him wanting to wear that costume and second of all his claims of waiting "all week" to wear it were ironic since it was only Monday morning! I was so dang tired so Scott got up and got the costume and went downstairs with him. This is what I saw when I came downstairs, he was watching cartoons and waiting for me to make his breakfast.


All of this excitement before 6 am and more importantly before my coffee! Naturally when charlie got up, hours later, he wanted to wear his batman costume.

We were ready to go to the YMCA, like every Monday but they insisted on the costumes, so what the hay!

In a strange twist, Charlie decided to add dinosaur house shoes to his hands.

When we got to the Y, Charlie walked on his Dinosaur house shoe hands and his feet all the way across the parking lot while I yelled at him to stand up so that a car didn't hit him. He was just going too slowly on all 4 and I was trying to carry Ellodie's 50# car seat and a diaper bag. Ben agree to take off his mask so that the sitters would know "who's kid I am".

When we got home Kari came over with her little dog named Sophie. Here are pics of them playing with her in the front yard.

Ben slept in that costume! When I left for work the next morning Scott was arguing with him about putting normal clothes on. He explained that even Peter Parker wore real clothes when he went to school and that the costume was for crime fighting! Ben was cool with that.

Ben has been asking me the last few days where he can buy Spider senses, do they sell them at toys r us?
