First Day of School and Super Heros





Ian is a big first grader. I'm trying to decide if I'm happy or sad about that! It is nice having him home, yet he also needs some more stimulation than his brothers give him sometimes :) He was so excited he could hardly stand it! The night before school started the school had a big picnic and open house, to see the class and meet the teacher. Everyone seems really nice so that's good! He's had some adjustments to all day school but he's been for about a week and is still liking it so that's good!



My boys have a sheltered TV life, they mostly like to watch Winnie the Pooh videos. There is one with a segment called "The Masked Offender." Christopher Robin is reading a story about the "Masked Avenger" to his friends and then Tigger pretends to be the "Masked Offender." His goal is to help people, but it doesn't work out. He sees Rabbit's scarecrow and thinks it's trying to get his garden, so he cuts it down. Then of course the crows eat his garden. So, that's the basics of the movie. So lately Ian has been the "Masked Offender." It's great, because his purpose is helping! All I have to say is, "oh, who can help me put away this laundry?" and Ian says in his deep voice, "have no fear, citizen, it is I, the Masked Offender, who can help. Masked Offender, to the rescue!" Then he does it. Afterward I tell him thanks and he says, "no need for thanks, citizen. Masked Offender, away!" It's sure a great way to get some work done - that's my kind of super hero!



This is his airplane hanger he made. He likes paper airplanes these days. He's saving some up to show his grandpa when we see him next.

Can the masked avenger fly? I could certainly use some of his help around here, plus it would have the added benefit of allowing him to show Grandpa his airplanes sooner...think about it Masked Avenger...

We could all use a super hero like that, it is fun that he likes doing those types of things, enjoy it while it lasts.

I wish I had that kind of super hero at my house too. Tell him to keep up the good work. I loved the cakes. Making them 3-d is no easy feat. Happy Birthday to your little guys!
