Costume Tomfoolery

You kids LOVE to dress up. Sometimes you consult me and your Mom before doing so, or ask for our help velcroing up a back or putting on some gloves or a tiara. 

But most of the time, we just open a door or turn a corner and SURPRISE there's Darth Vader on the toilet!

"taking a sith"

Or a couple of Sith armed and ready to attack you after a shower:

And sometimes, Dark Siders just gotta dance!

Other times you get super:

Then you get super-duper super:

Other times you get super super duper:

And sometimes, you just gotta go around town dressed as Wonder-Woman, keeping your robot brother and Daddy warm and safe:

All in all, we come from a super family. Look who came to visit! 

Aidan, you really inhabit your characters. I'd call you a method actor.

Julia, you do too. But if anyone has the slightest concern, you're quick to pull of your mask and let us know "Don't worry. It's just me Julia!"

But...then again, when you're in-the-zone, if anyone calls you Julia, you're quick to correct: "I'm Wonder Woman, Daddy! You keep forgetting!"

What a super fun way to be part of the action for a super fun and imaginative couple of kiddos!

You truly can be anything you want; we think you two are very super!

Aidan, you asked me today if when I got home from work we can all wrestle.

You bet we can!

You two are TOAST! With JELLY AND JAM!

Ninjas!

One day when Brady, Uncle Jeremy, and Aunt Michelle were staying with us, and finally after everyone was well, us Dads took you kids to the obstacle course...to be NINJAS!

...and your true ninja training  began: 

Jumping, climbing, reaching, balancing...ninjas are oh-so fascinating!

Oh the places you'll go when you can ascend nets of cargo, hills of carpet, and wade through pits of foam cubes!

NJA PBJ Break:

Back to ninja business: 

And then the most important ninja skillset of all: Dodgeball!

What a fun ninja day for your awesome, strong, able-bodied, sweaty, sweet, little ninja friends!
