The Zany Adventures of Dino Boy, Bat Girl, Spider Girl, and Dr. Pepper Man



Several weeks ago, we went to my niece's 4th Birthday Party. Now, let me tell you, my sister-in-law, Beth, is Miss Cathy Creative. I mean, she can do things with a sewing machine that Martha Stewart can only dream about.

She's gives me quite a complex, my SIL. Her crafting abilities blow me away.


Anyway, my niece is quite the little tomboy and she was bound and determined to have a super hero birthday party. So we get to the party and the kids are all given a little something that Beth had whipped up a few days prior.


Namely, hand painted super hero shirts and homemade superhero capes.


You'll have to look at the pictures below. They are the cutest darn things I've ever seen.


Then the kids were treated to an outdoor obstacle course where they had to chase the bad guys through pools of lava (a sandbox turned into a swimming pool with water dyed red and a 2x4 to cross), go through the ring of fire (aka a hula hoop hanging from the swingset) and scale tall buildings with a single bound (a rock climbing wall).


Then they came in and stuffed their faces with superhero cake and refueled their powers with ice cream. And then slept the whole 3 hour trip back home. Ahhhhhhhh.

They had such a blast! Hope you enjoy the pictures below. And aren't those shirts and capes adorable??!!

P.S. We were also treated to a special appearance by Teen Wonder (aka my 13 year old niece, Jessica, in her superhero costume.

P.P.S. Thank you so much for the sweet comments that were left on my blog post about Noah and CapriSuns/Gogurts. :-)

Oh I love it! Noah's costume is great.

I wish you would just drive down to TN and visit us. A better idea is when Erin comes back we go to Little Rock and spend the night. Talk and catch up.

PS--love your new blog.

LOL - Dreama. Which Super Hero would you be? Dancing Diva? Or Tan Queen? ;-)

Lori, I know! We have to get together. I think an overnight sounds perfect!!Or maybe we can just drive all the way straight to Nashville. :-)

What a blast! Looks like they had a great time.
I saw the idea on Tori & Dean (I know, I know) for a superhero party with obstacle course and thought of how fun it would be to do. Nice to see it in the real world version.

The Answer to Noah's Shirt Chewing...

NOTE: If you came across this page by googling "Shirt Chewing", please click here for the most recent post on Noah's shirt chewing. Thanks! Sugar. Who knew that five little letters could wreck such havoc? As I've mentioned before, Noah has a terrible shirt chewing habit. I can't quite remember when it all started, but we all noticed that it STOPPED completely when we were in Austin. The only thing that was really different was his diet - since we were living out of a hotel for a week. When we got home, we racked our brains to figure out what it was.... what food triggered Noah' s shirt chewing. We were home about 2 days when Noah started chewing again. Agave Nectar. Sim had put agave nectar on Noah's waffles. We took the agave nectar out of his diet and the next day, the chewing decreased. A few days later, I gave him a peanut butter and jelly rice cake. He started shirt chewing. It had to have been the jelly.. which goes to show that just because it's

Why I Haven't Been Blogging

I know that I haven't been blogging much lately. I don't know... I think I've just lost interest in it. In the past, I could blog about mindless, frivolous drivel - like how Sim didn't know who Rick Springfield was or my letter to Michael Phelps or how I'll drive across Texas in order to find a bag of special edition Hershey kisses . I could write about things that were fun and lighthearted - but I just can't find that place inside me anymore. Now, I did nearly blog the other day about how I almost had a panic attack when I thought that L'Oreal discontinued my favorite lipstick, but it just seemed pointless and unimportant - especially when compared to the real stuff going on in my life. I don't know what to blog about anymore. I know that blogs are meant to be for the blogger only and that you should be able to blog about anything you want - but I can't help but recognize that blogging about RAD is alienating me from the people in my real life

Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I can't believe it!!! I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?" And he said, "Iduvumum" Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?" And he said, "Esssss" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie." This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus). Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
