Marvel Universe Live
One of the boys Christmas presents from Linda and Leland was tickets to Marvel Universe Live. I had seen the commercials and thought the boys would enjoy it - real, live, super heros? What little boy wouldn't love that!
The boys convinced us to buy the glowing and flashing swords. They were pretty excited for the show to begin!
The boys were glued to the show as soon as it got started. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was pretty impressive. There were pyrotechnics, people dropping and swinging from the ceiling, motorcycle jumps and stunts, and acrobatics.
All the characters were there - they look just like the action figures the boys play with all the time. Pretty impressive.
Such a fun show - we hope they come back to KC next year for another show!

Winter Event
Last night, the company I work for held the annual winter event. It's always a fun event with food, drinks and great giveaways.
We had an 'official' photo taken like we do every year, but it's super bright and I look like a ghost.
Waiting for the presentation to begin and see if this would be the first time in many years that I'd be amongst the winners? No luck - another year without winning - but I knew several of the winners and was excited for them.
The boys had a fun evening with Grandma and Papa - Liam was disappointed that they only got to stay for one night, he wanted to stay for two! Grandma and Papa's house is way more fun than our house!

All About Karsten
Today was Karsten's turn to tell his class 'All about Karsten'. His teacher sent home a poster with a bunch of questions as well as a bag that had several things he should bring to share.
Also, since Karsten has a summer birthday we wanted to celebrate his half birthday at school this month. He chose a cookie cake to share with his friends. When it's your (half) birthday you get to pass out treats to everyone, take the first bite and choose a friend to help you deliver treats to the other teachers nearby. He delivered the cake pieces with great consideration while his classmates patiently watched.
It was pretty cute to see him talk about his poster with his friends. His teacher read the questions and he answered in a quiet voice at the beginning, but then he got more brave after a few questions. We got to bring the poster home - it will definetely go in his school memory box!
He got to bring a favorite toy (pull back cars from Gaga), a favorite book (The Day the Crayons Quit), a toy that's his favorite color (Hulk from his new Lego set) and a picture of his family.

Sunset
We've had beautiful sunsets this week - tonight, I glanced out the window at work and the sky looked like it was glowing pink. I quickly packed up my stuff so I didn't miss the glowing sunset. I enjoy heading home to my guys while admiring this beautiful sunset!

Tape
The boys have been into coloring, drawing and general crafting lately. I love it and am happy to keep them supplied with lots of paper, scissors and glue. Recently, Liam became enamored with tape. He used a TON of tape on a recent project that resulted in a dinosaur.
We eventually moved the tape to a location that's not reachable by Liam because we didn't want all the tape to go into his projects. I helped Linda with her Christmas shopping for the boys, and I needed to get one more thing for Liam. After several tape filled projects, I realized he would love washi tape - printed, colorful tape, what could be better?
I was right - when he opened it, he didn't know what it was, but when Linda told him it was tape, he was thrilled. Today, Karsten had to work on a poster all about him for school, so Liam created a poster of his own for Grandma to thank her for the tape.
