Superheroes

Nana and Papa went to Walmart the other day and picked some jammies up for the kids. Logan got Superman jammies. Rory went through a phase where she had to wear the same outfit over and over again. It was only for a couple of days. Logan has hit this phase with his new Superman jammies. He wants to be in them all the time. To tell you the truth, I'm surprised they're Superman and not Batman. Papa is known for letting our kids watch Batman and eat jelly beans when they're still choking hazards. :)
Anyway, Logan's Superman jammies paired with Rory's Supergirl Halloween costume from last year are quite a pair for playing.
This morning they were running around saving all dolls and toys from near catastrophe. I had to pull Logan out of his playing to brush his teeth. Rory screamed, "Superman! Save me!" Logan replied in a bothered tone, "Hold on Supergirl! I'm brushing my teeth!" It was cute. Of course as with anything, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. In this case, it was Marley.

We have a keychain of glass with Kaelyn's picture etched in it that lights up blue to illuminate the picture. It looks really cool. Anyway, it's on a string so Rory can wear it as a necklace. During superhero play, Rory said she lost her powers. I grabbed the keychain and put it in her hand and told her to concentrate and her powers would come back. She would know when they were back because the "crystal" would glow. She closed her eyes, and I pushed the button on the keychain to make it glow blue. And that's the long explanation for the prop in this story.

Logan got hold of the "crystal" and started swinging it. He caught Marley in the mouth, and she let out a crying fit that I haven't heard since she had colic at 2 months old. Logan got a timeout, and Marley got this.

See the red mark?

I know it doesn't look like it, but she's in a lot of pain. Really. So the lesson here is, "With great power, comes great responsibility." I guess as Supermom, which is what I was dubbed today along with Superbaby, A.K.A Marley, it is my mission to raise these heroes into greatness. I accept.

  1. I know that Nora doesn't always believe it but she is "SuperMom" day in and day out. She is and always will be the world to 4 of the greatest kids on earth. To me, it's no surprise that Kaelyn, Rory, Logan, and Marley are so good. Look who they have to go by. Nora is also a wonderful wife. I thank God each day that we are and always will be together. I think there was some voodoo that she performed though given how hard we fell for each other after just seeing one another from a distance. She "claims" that she saw me first but I know this: if my bladder had just been a little bigger I would have survived. :) If you really need the story about the "first glance" just ask. It's a wonderful story and one that, again, I thank God happened. Nora is awesome and there is no disputing that. Great blog too about Rory, Logan, and Marley. Rory and Logan do love those outfits and getting them out of them is a very hard task to do. Of course my arms could use a break from "flying" them around the house. Yay and Marley's in real pain ... sure! :)
