Spectacular Spiderman

We have been watching a cartoon on Netflix as a family every once in a while in the evenings, Spectacular Spiderman. It's actually really good and much more like the comic books than the movies were. Peter and I are constantly busting up at Spiderman's quips, and the kids of course love it. It's good family time for us. We all pile on our bed and plug the laptop into the TV.

Well, last weekend Jonah and Eden went to a birthday party for their good friend, and it was a superhero party. The kids were supposed to dress up. I dug out this Spiderman costume I had bought on clearance after Halloween for like $5. I was saving it for next year, but Jonah was super excited that he could wear it before then- and that Spidey had muscles! He started flexing and showing off as soon as he got the thing on.Eden dressed up as Princess Tiana for the party. We did have a spare Buzz Lightyear costume, but I'm sure she would have rather been a girl. She was the only girl at the party, so it didn't matter. The kids had a blast, and when I came to pick them up, Spiderman, 2 Ironmans, and a Ninja Turtle were in the middle of a battle! It was pretty funny. Don't know when my kids are going to grow out of thinking dressing up is fun, but in the meantime, it's a lot of fun for me to see them making up their own stories and pretending.

Levi didn't get to go to the party, so he got some quality time with Peter and I at Paradise Bakery. He insisted on wearing his Darth Vader costume. I guess he's okay with being the bad guy.
