Caught in the Web

Superheroes have found their way into our home.  Namely... Spida-min

It all started with this picture, Husband purchased when he was younger, of Spiderman.

(Husband hates that I call it a 'picture.' It's a lithograph.)

Next, the shows creeped in.  Maybe a t-shirt here, undies there. 
Then he started getting "Superhero vitamin shakes" occasionally.  

 
Finally we (I) succumb.  We owned it.  SBR's 3rd birthday party had a theme.  
Yep, spida-min.  In addition to the overload of Spiderman decorations: balloons, cake, streamers and new shirts for both boys,  his gifts were everything Spiderman.   Action figure (not a DOLL, Mawm!), beach ball and floaty ring, beach towel, jammies, shirts, sprinklers, coloring books, socks, shoes, sunglasses, stickers, goggles, oh my!  Seriously... puked. on. birthday party.

He also got 2 different mask and cape combos.  But we ALL know Spiderman doesn't wear a cape.  (eye roll)

For Halloween I wanted SBR to be Spiderman.  ET would be a spider, Husband the Hulk and I would be a spider web.  Surprisingly SBR wants to be a spider.  (of course he does, because that's not my vision. ) Come October, if that is still the case, I do have a backup plan.  It's genius, you'll never guess. 

So... when your 3 year old is jumping from his bed to his bean bag in his super hero cape... you obviously do what any normal mother of the year would do... you grab your camera.

no boys or animals were harmed in this photo

I absolutely adore this quote that will adorn the boys' shared room in just about 19 mos.  

Not that I have a count down to our new office/craft room, or anything.  

Sometimes being a brother is better than being a Super Hero.
