Halloween 2014: Suker Heroes

By Ashley -
So as everyone may have noticed we like Halloween at our house. I think the whole family should dress up in themed costumes and I'm not a fan of store bought costumes- it's my one creative mom things. 

This year Brian came up with the theme- Suker Heroes. It was a bit of a hard sell, but Mikey went for it in the end, and he loved it. He assigned everyone a color based on his perception of their favorite color and tried to come up with Suker Powers. 

These are the first costumes that can be reused! Trust me we have gotten quite a bit of use out of the costumes already. 

Here's Michael trying out the mommy hero costume. 

 Mikey showing off his Suker Hero cuffs (or gloves as he calls them).
 Zach wasnt ever too sure about his mask, he ended up needing to wear it as a headband instead.
 Ok so here is how the costume making actually looks. There is quite a bit of hot glue, random fabric that never needs to be purchased except at halloween, fray check, and a whole lot of pins.
I designed the t shirt logos, couldn't find the fabric I wanted (until part of the way through the project) so I had to paint/make my own. I thought about printing the logos out of iron on transfer paper... but decided that sparkles, felt, and hot glue were actually the way to (the shirt may be fragile but it popped).


Mikey tested the costumes along each step of the way He insisted that his super hero costume needed a shirt, a belt, a cape, cuffs, and a mask. and he was the one that also insisted on the sparkles, it was a good idea. 


 Zach may have been the cutest super hero I have ever seen.
 I made Michael's cape extra long to flap in the wind. He was a fan. He had to run bunch to test it out.
 Look how adorable Zach is.







 The A Suker Hero
 The M Suker Hero
 The Z Suker Hero
 The B Suker Hero
 and the Suker Villains
 Mikey had to test out the mommy suker hero skirt.
 We tested the costumes out at the MOMS Club activity.

 And the Suker villains, they were good sports.

    Amazing. Again! Those will bring lots of joy for lots of years. My kids still use a Superman costume Ben's aunt made for him when he was 3. You have a talent for Halloween.

Merry Christmas!

We are planning on having a very exciting Christmas at our house this year. We are super excited to announce (to all three people that read this that have already been told) that we are expecting another baby! Yay, the due date is December 22nd, so it is possible that we will actually have a very exciting Christmas, though in all honesty I am hoping for something more around the 16th than 25th.  We had an ultrasound today, and a few things. First off, I think this kid is going to give his/her older brother a run for his money. The ultrasound tech told us this was the most active baby she had ever seen, my response was pretty much, well you should have seen Michael 2 years ago. The baby is healthy, but... crazy. She had such a hard time taking measurements with all the flipping, flailing, and somersaulting. Pretty sure this kid is going to have to be so crazy to keep up with Mikey, but pretty sure that 2 years from now I am going to be exhausted. Even though it is a little b...

Baby Zach is Here!

Baby Zach is here! Zachary Henry December 16, 2013 8:41am 6lbs 14oz 20.5 inches Sweet guy, he seems so tiny compared to Michael, and so so tiny compared to how big Michael is now. I think he looks a little bit like Michael, especially his mouth. He has less hair and his eyelashes are lighter, but he is still adorable. I know he has the newborn grey eyes for now, but they look lighter than the pictures of Michael at the same age. I am curious to see what he ends up looking like in a few weeks! The three boys. I can't believe we have two boys! We have to have one token labor picture. And as there is only one this is the one that gets posted. More on the labor later, but let's just say I wasn't loving life at this moment, waiting for the doctor to arrive was the longest half hour of my life, but we made it so yay!  So these are out of order, but this is Zach right after he was born. He was very quiet. He cried initially, but after a minute he calme...

Genius Idea

By Ashley -
So I have this idea, I think it is brilliant, and I am really hoping someone reads this and 1. tells me someone has already done it and where I can access it, or 2. someone steals my idea and does it close enough to me that again I can access it. Ok so here is the idea, first let me describe the situation. You are a parent with small children and it is a cold/hot/rainy/snowy/windy day/, someone is contagious/your kid fell asleep in the car/your kids are having a meltdown and taking them out of the car and struggling with the 5 point harness might kill both of you and you need milk from the grocery store. Normally you would try and get it at a better time, send a spouse, live without, etc, but you can't because you need milk (or bread or eggs, pick an essential item), so you have an internal debate... am I going to risk it, am I going to pull them out of the car, run in, find the item, wait in line, and come back and struggle to get everyone back in or are we going to live without...
