Bad Batman Butterfly

Andrew making up his own unique character. This one is called 'Bad Batman Butterfly.'

This is a combination of Batman, butterfly wings, and a foam sword. (thus the name)

Fruits of our labor.

Andrew and Daddy made peanut butter cookies tonight. He is quite the mix-master and really enjoys cooking now.

This is a pic of Andrew enjoying the fruits of his labor in the nearly finished basement.

(oops, I mean Superman, not Andrew!)

Batman, little Batman, Batman girl, & Batman boy

We have many Batmen in our house. Also, many Spidermen and Supermen. Overall, just the full superhero crew. As Andrew has designated each of us...

Andrew = Batman, Spiderman, or Superman... depending on which superhero costume he is wearing.

The rest of us as follows:

Madeline = Little Batman, Spiderman, or Superman (see above)
Momma = "Superhero" girl
Daddy = "Superhero" boy

And so we all fall into line. Madeline especially is turning into quite a good sidekick as you can see in the pictures below (the cape she is wearing was dug out of the laundry and put on by Andrew so Madeline could have a costume too).




Also too cute, Andrew has taken to crawling around when playing with Madeline so she can follow him easier. Otherwise he gets too far ahead and she looses focus. So you'll see Andrew take off crawling in one direction, then a giggling Madeline following quickly behind!

Playtime with Daddy

A few pictures from this weekend of the Daddy usually behind the camera!

Basement - 1 week to go!

Everything is now almost completed with the basement. We are waiting for final inspections, installation of door handles, and final clean up next week, then it's all ours!

As you can see from our pictures, we got the TV hung late this week, and Nathan has been finishing off the network/cable lines. Andrew & Madeline got the first viewing of the new TV with a Sesame Street show while we were working downstairs.

Basement almost finished!

Weekend visit from the Shupps

Amy, James, Thomas & Olivia visited this weekend to celebrate Andrew's 3rd birthday. Thomas and Andrew had a lot of fun playing together, which was very fun for the rest of us to watch!

Also, Amy & James brought one of their delicious birthday cakes, artfully made up as a construction site to complete the birthday weekend!
