Birthday boy

Gavin celebrated his 5th with a superhero themed party featuring a guest appearance by the Riddler. They met some animals with super powers and decorated capes. The Spiderman tattoos and kryptonite-enhanced Superman juice were big hits.

Superheroes

Decked out in our superhero gear for Gavin's birthday party.  Daddy was Clark Kent wearing contacts (in other words, NOT in costume!)

Outfit

Lucia has started to pick out her own clothes the night before. Here is a recent outfit, which she accessorized with a necklace, sunglasses and hair bow.

Superhero playdate with the neighbors

The kids were so tired afterwards that even Gavin took a nap!

Super heroes!!

Here they are posing in their newly decorated masks, chanting something about superheros.  Finn, the stickler for accuracy, refuses to wear his mask b/c "Superman doesn't wearing one in the book."

Superman's Fortress of Solitude

Today is Day 4 of a week of no school, so Gavin and I have been hard at work building Superman's icy fortress underneath his bed.  At his insistence, it features a door with a keyhole, re-arrangeable felt letters for his name (but not, at his request, for his brother & sister) and crests for Superman and Batman (so that you know if they are visiting).  In the midst of all this activity, he declared "today is the best day ever!"  Music to his mommy's ears :-)

And now, he has just asked me to make a guest key for visitors to the fort??
