I can't believe I am about to show you this...

Alternate Title: I think I pulled a muscle.

Alternate Title: I lost my mind to show you this.

Phew, what have I gotten myself into?

For Christmas I got our second punk a great little book, "The Superhero Starter Kit". It is a great book and he is having fun with it. It came with a neat red cape, wrist guards, masks, and stickers to make your superhero logo on your shirt. He has been running, leaping, dodging and diving ever since he put the cape on.

I thought he might like more variety for masks so I made more masks out of felt. I also made more wrist guards. And I am such a good mom that I did all of that for his dog "Bolt" as well. He goes around the house, he and his super dog, saving any stuffed animal or brother that needs saved.

So when I was going to get a picture for one of my "52 Weeks" pictures I thought I would incorporate his superhero character. I made a mask for me and put on the best super hero outfit I could think of. I have pictures of us jumping in the air and looking tough. I think I pulled a muscle in there somewhere too. When I looked at the pictures I had taken I thought there was NO WAY I would EVER show that to ANYONE.

That's it. End of story.



But I said I would show it to you, so here is ONE of the pictures.


Wait, no, I can't.



Fine - here it is......

But I'm NOT showing you one of me jumping in the air. No Way!

I still can't believe I showed you this.

You are a wonderful mom. That is so funny. I really want to see the jumping one. If your vertical is anything like mine I'm sure you can get off the floor a good 4 inches! :)

Just think when your son is 80 he'll look back and remember what a cool mom he has! That'll make you what 100+ but oh well.

When I was a kid I could con my gma into anything. We use to play badminton in her front yard. At first she just did it to give me something to do, but then she actually liked it and wanted to play all the time. Don't laugh I was a farm kid and had to travel over 10 miles to find a playmate. My Gma lived just a mile away ;) She also wasn't your ordinary old gma either.

April and I were playing softball last summer. We were warming up before the game playing catch. She threw it to me and it went over my head. But that didn't stop me from jumping to catch it. April about peed her pants laughing. She told me I got off the ground maybe 2 inches. Sucks to get old doesn't it!

Great job, Carin!! It made me think of some dumb stunt I did about a year ago, as Stacie and Diane watched, and we all three heard the POP of the muscle. Needless to say, their laughs came about as fast as the POP did!! Keep up your good work!!! Linda
