The Amazing Caped Kids!


This morning we finally had a non-icky day to go outside and take pictures of the capes I made the kids play.  



When I asked Kessa if she wanted a cape she said, "Yes!  A princess one."  Little did I know that meant DISNEY Princess...as in licensed fabric.  But we had a good coupon so we splurged.  I got the template for the crown from here.  



I was super lucky to find this great pink satin in the remnants!  All the polka dots are felt. 



I know it's blurry, but I LOVE, love love love, LOVE this picture!!



Zeke's only request was that his was orange.  



He's not as fond of being "Super Zeke!" as he is of being



a knight.  Yup, that's right ladies, eat your hearts out, my little guy would rather be a knight that anything else!



For a change today Kessa let me take more pictures of her (and wanted me to!) than Zeke.  Most of his pictures today he was already half out of the frame.

and just for kicks, if you were wondering where Kessa learned to jump like that...

Hi Gina! I totally LOVE your antique book blog art!! Very cool!

Look at those heros! How wonderful! When my four were little I loved to make costumes for them! I would also go to the after Halloween sales and pick up fun hats, wigs and silly accessories for their dress up trunk.

Some of the homemade dress-ups are being saved for the day I'm a grandma, like Maxine! My eldest daughter and her hubby are waiting on the Lord's great timing to be parents. Today they are moving from Florida to Washington to be within 2 hours of us! What a joy to have the children near!

God bless your sweet family Gina!
