The making of a super hero.....

It takes a lot of work and effort to be a super hero. First you have to make sure your super eyes are still, well, super.....

Then  you have to make sure your super "golden" power shoes fit you to a tee....

Combine those two awesome powers and that my friends, makes for one fantastic super hero.....

Too bad his spelling super powers are currently on the fritz.....(translation for his front should say Buddy
reading, I'll just give him kudos for having a school related super power since all the other kids picked things like soccer, swimming and karate). So all in all a super fantastic, blind as a bat, but still kicking strong, day!

The Midas touch.....

Soccer season starts tomorrow for a certain little Buddy boy, which means tonight we picked up some necessary gear for our budding soccer star...

Ummm, I guess you don't have to be fashionable to be a soccer star....

Or maybe you do! Let me assure you that those golden cleats are perhaps the golden ticket to being awesome!!!!! I'm thinking perhaps the whole family should invest in some golden cleats to take the family from super fantastic to a whole new level of super wicked awesome fantastic! Yep, the cleats are that much of a hit! So all in all a super fantastic, soccer playing, day!

Tuckered out.....

My sweet little peanut pie put himself to bed tonight without the usual whining, sneaking and complaining... Perhaps he wore himself out at school getting an OUTSTANDING AWARD....

Who knew a tiny piece of pink paper would make a 7 year old all kerfuffley all over. Trust me, he showed EVERYONE his "award" on the way out of school. Or perhaps he was exhausted because after he begged and pleaded for a while, I finally broke and let him do this, this evening.....

Or perhaps he was so tired, because I worked last night so he stayed up all night reading books to himself. Errrrr, I want to pretend it was one of the other choices, although Shane said he was still reading when he went to bed last night! Nice parenting skills on that one. Oh well, GO LITERACY! So all in all a super fantastic, totally exhausted, day!

Sharing....

When Shane moved to Hawaii, I had a laundry list of things to purchase, to bring over to the island when we joined him. First on my list was a kayak.....I LOVE KAYAKING....Thank goodness that purchase was made and I we've been using it ever since we arrived......Let me correct that statement, Buddy has been using it ever since we got here! See that blip out in the middle of the ocean......

You guessed it, my boy once again commandeering my kayak. He's quite the expert, he took Shane and I both out around the buoy marking the entrance to the bay, of course he paddled the whole time, because sharing is just unheard of when it comes to kayaks!!!!

Well, he did let me hold the paddles for a picture....

I guess I should be grateful for something? So all in all a super fantastic, did you know that the Summer Olympics has kayaking......so maybe I have a future gold medalist along with future president/comedian (kinda the same thing anyway, right?), day!

Where is my manual?

Here's my sweet boy who starts second grade tomorrow. At dinner I filled him in on all my fantastic tales of second grade.....turns out I lied a lot and pooped my pants (thank goodness the Budster and I are such kindred spirits). In other news, we have been debating A LOT about home schooling our little ragamuffin, perhaps tomorrow will be his last day too? Hmmmmm, then my tales of pooing my pants in second grade may have been in vain....nah, who am I kidding? Pooing your pants and telling about it always makes a fantastic tale! So all in all a super fantastic, eternally debating, day!

Babysitting 101....

Buddy has a new weapon in his babysitting arsenal....it's called the robot........I think it works phenomenally well.....

Errrr, well, maybe not as well as giving the babies back to the mothers, but I think he's onto something!!!! So all in all a super fantastic, practicing our big brother dance skills, day!

Geckos can't fly.....

Since Kevin has been here, the boys have been doing a lot of (this is a direct quote)"boy things". Which means, I've been bored out of my mind! But that's OK, I have aunt Martha and a cranky uterus keeping me company these last few days! First the boys played with geckos.....

Apparently geckos can't fly, but in other news, they are extremely docile after nearly drowning in your "hot tub" while placed on the aforementioned airplane (see above pic).....Then the boys did some serious recycling....

Obviously this "boy" activity wasn't all it was cracked up to be! Thankfully, computer time is all that it's cracked up to be....

Well, except in my mind, but I keep being reminded I'm not a boy so I just don't understand! 

Thank goodness laughter has no gender bias! So all in all a super fantastic, boys ruling?, day!
