Super Heros


O.k.  So for gymnastics this week it was super hero week.  They sent home a letter last week saying to wear your super hero outfits to class.  Well for some reason I thought we had super hero capes in our dress up bin.  But to my dismay, last night when we went to look for them, they weren't there.  BUMMER!!!!  So today we ran to find cheap fabric and rushed home to make super hero capes.  So three hours later I had made super hero capes for them to wear to gymnastics.  Well, the kids got all suited up in their super hero stuff and we headed to gymnastics.  When we got there, guess what?  NO ONE ELSE WAS DRESSED UP!!!!  Well the teachers were, but none of the students.  I was a little bugged.  I had just spent a good majority of my day making these capes when I could have probably gotten away with not doing it.  I know there was no way of knowing if everyone was going to be dressed up or not, but come on.  Really?  I just couldn't believe it!!!  But they did turn out pretty cute, if I do say so myself and the kids had so much fun running around the house being super heros.  I even made one for Carson.  He would run along right with the girls and later kept saying "SUPER FAST!"  So much fun.

Plus your kids will always remember how fun it was even if no one else dressed up. You are like super-mom. I am always amazed at how much you do.

I agree with Shauna. You are a great mom, and think of how many memories this will make~!

They turned out way cute! I don't think the kids dressed up when Anna went to gymnastics either.

How super ironic. I have been shopping Etsy for capes for my girls. I think you just inspired me to go ahead and make some. I think I'll do it this weekend. What a great idea. Saves me like $80 too!
