I would have posted a picture but Jason took the camera to work:(
Do you ever notice how kids get more creative when they are bored of their toys and you won't let them buy more because Christmas is just right around the corner?
Today our kiddos made super hero "costumes" out of old socks.
They cut five holes in the end for their fingers to go through, like a fingerless glove.
Then they had me use a permanent marker to write SR , SA , SK, SE (Super Riley, Ali, Katie, Emmie).
Yes, the big kids know how to write by themselves, no they are not allowed to use permanent markers.
We had an "incident" involving a Sharpie and our computer keyboard when Riley was a toddler. I have never forgotten about it.
Anyway... Then I drew lightning bolts, buttons for shooting, etc on them.
They spent all afternoon running around talking on their pretend walkie talkies, shooting one another and saving the day.
And to think I was just going to throw those old socks away.
