super hero naptime

i'm always on the lookout for boy toys. garrett has a girly girl sister and he loves to play dolls with her. so lately i've been trying to find more boy toys that he'll like. we were at target the other day and i found some super hero dive sticks on clearance. the kids were super excited since they were just like the ones the barnetts have.

the cast of characters included: superwoman, superman, flash gordon & batman

obviously olivia grabs superwoman and gives garrett the rest. so i'm ready for some good boy fun and figured garrett would start imagining all sorts of boy superhero scenarios.

nope, next thing i know superwoman is the mother and the other guys are her sons. the conversation went something like this...

olivia (superwoman): boys, it's time for a nap
garrett (superman): oh mom! we are not being naughty.
olivia: i said it's nap time!
garrett: ok, mom.

later little later...

olivia (superwoman): boys, i'm caught in a net. come help me.
garrett (superman): i'm coming sweetheart!!!!!

so i guess i'll just have to wait till ryan gets a little older to play super heroes with garrett. maybe then i'll hear them fighting crime and saving bad guys.

at the time of this picture, superman was missing (and still is). maybe he's taking that nap.

(sarah, when we took the guys out of the box olivia says "oh mom! they don't have a B on the back!" ha ha!)

never fear!! superman has been recovered. it was inside one of ryan's toys :)

and yes, olivia is more of the obsessive type. ha ha! sarah, just be glad you don't have polly pockets all over your house...i think that would add a nice dimension to your "find everything" obsession :)
