Superhero night

For a fun addition to our superhero theme, I created Superhero night. We started off the night with a special dinner. I made batman biscuits (boy that huge wilton cookie cutter set has come in handy), superman soup, captain america shields and spiderman sundaes.  Now things always look better in my head but this was for the boys and they thought it was awesome. It's a good thing they are too young for pinterest or they'd see all the super awesome stuff those moms are doing!

After dinner, the assignment was to create your own superhero. Everyone (Mr. Fun-hater included) had to come up with their own persona, powers and create a costume. Then we took pictures and Bob created special badges to be given out when they passed their test. While bob worked on those, the boys watched a couple superhero shows.

Here are the superheroes and their profiles:
Dawson: Captain America-Able to eat entire body weight in a single sitting, Stronger than all two year olds the world over, A will as strong as stone

Ollie: Super Dream Creature Man- Blow fire like a dragon, fly, shield he can fling and knock people down and shield comes right back,super strong when lifting concrete, change into any super hero

Me: Super Mama- Caffeine gives her super strength, Hugs that melt anyenemy, x-ray vision makes delicious treats, wrangle several villians at once


 Bob: Super Dev Man- Shoots conditional expressions from eyes, wrap enemies in closures, super duper bitwise operator kick, immediate function chop

Following the shows, it was time for the obstacle course. I'm thankful for the circular layout of our house. It made it easy to set this up. We have balance beams so those were included and the rest was around the house stuff. I think we did the course 30 times. They loved every minute.

The whole night was a success. Ollie just tonight asked if we could have another superhero night. It was worth the effort!

 Until next time, it's supermama signing off. Happy playing to all and to all a good night!
