Spiderman Soup


Sometime last September, Tyler decided he wanted to "the Black Spiderman" for Halloween. I think I posted about that decision on a Friday evening to take Tyler to Target and get him that Halloween outfit, although it was a) 7 weeks before Halloween, b) he threw a tantrum for it, and c) it was against all of my better judgement.

We did get him the costume, and because it scared the crap out of Connor, (seriously, he cried and cried when he saw Tyler in it), we talked Tyler into another costume. Connor ended up being the "Red Spiderman".

That black spiderman costume was at our neighbors house for months. We sent it to the "fixers" (as far as Tyler knew) to get a hole repairs. Those "fixer people" sure take a long time, because they have so many costumes that need to be repaired.... hehehe. It was nice to have the costume gone, because then I could finally detach Connor from my leg.

About 2 weeks ago Vicki reminded us that the costume was still at her house. We decided to bring it home (what could be the harm), and so both spiderman costumes are wandering around our house, every day now.

Every night when the boys get home, that is the first thing they do. Spiderman costumes are found, clothes are stripped off, and they run around with their costumes on. Connor loves his too, and hilariously refers to it as his "Spiderman Soup". I'm not sure if he can't say "suit" or if he thinks the correct term is "soup". Either way - it cracks me up every time.

They have slept in the costumes, gone outside in the costumes, and even tried to wear them to daycare and into the bathtub. These simple, cheap, spandex costumes that were purchased about 4 months ago, still bring total entertainment every day.
