Super Hero Kidos

Well the Finkleas have kind of just laid low at home this week. For no particular reason, other than I just can't seem to get out. It has been cold and miserable, maybe it would be better if we had snow to show for the cold weather but no. It is just cold and wet and muddy. The kids have been cooped up inside and as a result have been bouncing off the walls. While we were in Utah over Christmas Santa had one more gift for Payton and Jaxon that they couldn't yet receive until they got home. This week we took Payton and Jaxon to pick out their helmets. No, they didn't get a bike, they just wanted helmets. So they have been wearing them all week all around the house.
Jaxon has this strange power come over him anytime he puts anything Spiderman, or Batman on. He all of a sudden becomes some super hero. "Spiderman/ Batman to the rescue." Its crazy. But we feel so safe with him around.
Payton has to have everything Princess, she is a total girl, and thinks all things Princess makes her a Princess herself. Rightly concluded though. She is our little Princess.
Ashton is in to everything. This has become his daily ritual. That and the garbage. So as trashy as it is our garbage sits on our counter for most of the day. Don't worry, Lysol is on hand at all times.
Tonight was another one of those nights where the kids got lucky. They got to go into their room at 7:00pm for bed but got to watch a movie instead. Payton got an injury today so she was soaking it for everything it was worth. Poor little girl!!! My friend Jen has given Payton a new middle name "GRACE." So this is January's injury for Payton. Stay tuned for up coming months.
This was the kids at bedtime tonight. They were watching Toy Story II. A new favorite.
So I have told a few people that I would post these. I made these capes for my kids for Christmas (Ashton's yet to be finished) It was a hit. We kept them packed up until we got home. They have broken them in everyday this week. So between the helmets and the capes, you can imagine how it goes putting Jaxon to bed and taking him into church.
My sewing machine was having major issues when I was trying to finish Payton's cape. My mother-inlaw was sweet enough to help me finish it all up so that Payton could have hers on Christmas morning. Thank you again Virginia for your help. Sure love you.
