What he has worn for the last three days

One track wardrobe

If possible, this child would wear a Batman shirt every. single. day. 

Luckily we have three (long sleeved ones). Each time we do laundry the outfits for the next three days are set. These shirts are in heavy rotation...

Super blue morning

Batman mask, cape, and undies. 

Yeah, that's how we roll.

The masked marauder

Is it Batman?  

Batman, cubed!

This year, Halloween brought three Batmans to our house.

We had the "Dark Knight Batman," the "blue Batman," and "black Batman."

Novak was a bit cranky from a long day with a short early nap, so only the older two headed out for trick-or-treating.

Nate turns 5!

On Thursday, Nate turned 5. My little boy will be heading to Kindergarten in the fall. It's a cliche, I know, but it's amazing how fast time flies. Since we were planning a birthday party for his friends on Saturday, on his actual birthday we just had a family dinner and gifts at home.

Thanks to Gramma Elaine for sending home a giant brownie so we had something to put candles in! :)




Yeah, it was that good.

Looking at a new space book from Gramma.

I mentioned the party on Saturday. We only got one good picture that day - I did get some videos but haven't uploaded them yet.

For Nate's party, he had a Superheroes theme. He invited six friends, two of whom were unable to make it. So we had Spider Girl Emma, Wonder Woman Rachael, Batman Nathan (our neighbor), Andrew, Nile, and of course the birthday boy, who made up so many superhero names I don't know who he was.

The kids had tons of fun playing outside (see here for proof) and then we had pizza and cake. It was a perfect party - low key and laid back. No planned games and just enough guests. (It doesn't hurt when the parents stay too!) Nate had a blast and is already playing with his gifts. Now, the challenge will be to get him to write thank you cards.

And see, we did have a real cake for him!
