This week the boys have been going to a Holiday Bible Club at a local church. It's had a Super hero theme looking at various bible heroes such as Gideon & Samson. The boys have had so much fun there! The kids were divided into four teams called Crash, Bang, Wallop & Kapow. The boys were all in the green 'Wallop' team. Today was the last day & everyone went dressed up as a super hero either a made up one, a famous one or a bible hero. Lee is there tonight with the boys for the final session- a family fun evening!
Timmy wanted to go as Bananaman as we recently introduced them to the 80s cartoon series that Lee & I both loved so much as children. (Bananaman is a very close second to my favourite super hero Superman!). I had fun (ahem!) making the cape & sewing it by hand late last night. Timmy was disappointed that there were no banana peel boots but with a flash of last minute inspiration just before we left for the church I remembered the yellow rubber gloves hiding in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. Banana peel gloves more than made up for the lack of boots & I have to say I was quite impressed with the finished result!
Jordan went as Super Ted (another of my favourite super heroes). I was glad to get some more use out of the ears I made for World Book Day (see here) & Jordan was excited to have his face painted again! I ran out of time to sew on Super Ted's belt & buckle & the white trim on the cape though. Another time perhaps? By the way, I had never made a cape before yesterday & now I have made two (Luke was one he made at his friend's super hero party in September. It has the letter L on the back)! Jordan came second in the best costume competition (not bad out of 100 or so kids eh?) & the Wallop team won best dressed up team which Timmy said was down to the fact that he was dressed as Bananaman! ;o)
Luke is a boy after my own heart & LOVES anything Superman/Supergirl so of course he had to go as Superman. He loved the Superman logo I made out of felt. He calls it Superman's Double S. He told me at tea time that he wants to wear his costume forever! I was so proud of my three super heroes as I drove them over to the holiday club. It was really quite exciting to look in the rear view mirror of the car & see Bananaman, Super Ted & Superman looking back at me!! LOL!Which brings me to my favourite song of the moment called Jesus You're My Super Hero. We have the album on CD in the car & we all love listening to it. (If you'd like to see the real people singing it you can find it here). Hope you enjoy watching it!
Have a lovely weekend everyone! TTFN! :o)
