We are all thrilled for Christmas. IN years past, Christmas has come and gone so quickly that I hardly had time to celebrate. So I told the kids at the beginning of the week that we were going to celebrate Christmas every night.
On Tuesday night, I took them to see the new Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Last night, we sat around the computer and created our own SuperHero using the UGO superhero generator on the Internet.
K (nearly age 5) created a superhero called Wonderful Butterfly, decked out in purple and pink clothes and a magician's coat full of stars. Butterfly wings allow her to fly and if she's confronted by a sinister enemy, she has the ability to shift her size and hide in ways she cannot be seen. Mind waves come out from her head, allowing her hero to control peoples minds.
M (age 8) created Unstoppable Skeleton, a fierce looking skeleton decked out in torn red clothes and heavy black boots and gloves. Fire is his aura and he can summon the power and heat of the sun, not to leave out his influence over the Dead.
I created a handsome superhero ArkAngel, dressed in dark blue tights and shiny white armor with an insignia of the falcon. ArkAngel has great gray wings. He has power over the elements of the air, including the power of electricity and lightning. Though he can fly with the speed of Mars, he prefers riding in on the backs of great storms. If needed, he can summon troops of angels. His utmost desire is to do good.
I was sad that J wasn't able to create a superhero. She was busy with our real-life infant superhero M2, whose sole powers are the ability to drink an immeasurable amount of mother's milk and relieve himself whenever his skin feels the faintest hint of a chill. Anyone in the proximity of this latter ability is doomed.
M believes his hero is unbeatable. He might be right.
