Superheroes

The boys have been VERY interested in Superheroes lately, specifically Superman, Batman, & Robin. They then try to plan their wardrobe accordingly: a red shirt means they can be Superman, a navy blue or gray shirt means they can be Batman. And, as those are the only 2 superheroes I knew something about, that's about as far as we got for 'costumes'

They also want to know about the 'bad guys' they fight. I told them Batman fought the Joker, the Penguin, and Catwoman. Later, I heard them playing what they call 'Batman Superheroes' (because they were wearing navy blue and gray shirts).

They were fighting against "Kitty-woman".

Tonight, while deciding which superheroes to be. Peter dressed up in green and declared himself to be 'Lizard-man'.

A few minutes later, he decided he wanted to be 'Kitty-man'.

Andrew told him, "You can't be 'Kitty-woman' b/c she's bad!"

Peter replied, "No, I'm not going to be 'Kitty-woman', I'm going to be 'Kitty-man'! He's a good guy!"

Cowboy Jim?

The boys were helping me clean the Master bedroom closet, when they came upon Jim's old pair of cowboy boots. The following commentary was hysterical!

"Mom! Pop-pop has BOOTS?!"

"Pop-pop was a COWBOY?!"

"When was Pop-pop a cowboy?!"

and, my personal favorite:

"When Pop-pop wears his boots, does he turn into a cowboy?"
