Just another CarleSpawn weblog

Super Ezri/Wonder Woman and Super Smash/Iron Man both graduated from the library’s superhero academy tonight.

They aimed at villains and knocked them over.

They crafted masks.

They practiced webslinging with Spider-man.

They raced through an obstacle course.

They met some special guests.

Epic, good times! We are also loving the book Ivan received as his summer reading prize entitled Big, Mean Mike. It has monster trucks and cute fluffy bunnies. Perfect combo.

The proud superhero graduates.

Aunt Amy can do fancy braids.

Ezri is impressed and wishes Amy was here whenever she wants to be Elsa.

Before the parade the kids fueled up on donuts.

Here they are with the banner the troop painted ready for marching.

At Adam’s housewarming party, he filled this play house with his friends’ kids. Adam and Lisa let the kids write on the walls with chalk. They are pretty great taggers. I think Ezri was ready to move into the play house named Hrafn House with its raven flag.

Meghan shared her funnel cake with us.

Ivan got his first taste of funnel cake and declared it yummy.

There was also a stand with like 12 different flavors of slushie.

Ezri made a pink and purple slushie.

Ivan said, “I will make mine christmas colors!”

This is while waiting for the ferris wheel to get its tire changed. The wait was too long we went home.

Eric and Ivan on the Jumpin’ Jack.

Here the kids are riding the motorcycles.

Ezri did not freak out riding this ride, but watching her did freak me out while she spun way up in the air.

Ezri squirting her brother to his squeals of delight.

This is Ivan’s “water dance! water dance!”

These next two photos are of Ivan coming to give me very wet and cold hugs and laugh about it.

Ezri went off to the back of the yard where she had an idea.

There she is toting the small plastic slide.

Look, she made her own waterslide!

Ezri was invited to see her friend Julia’s theatrical debut as a munchkin member of the Lullaby League. There was a dress-up and photo booth corner and an opportunity to meet the cast after the show. Also, there were cookies and pizza at intermission. Ivan fell in love with all the green worn in the Emerald City and watching the follow spot operator. Ezri was rapt with attention during all of the munchkin musical numbers and really loved seeing her friend on stage.

Ezri wrote out this recipe for the culinary masterpiece that she and Ivan created,
“In case it tastes so good other people want to make it.”

The dish is in the red pan above the recipe notebook.
3 Yellow eggs + 1 orange + 1 muffin + 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream +  1 scoop of strawberry ice cream = souffle (according to Ezri)

We found a butterfly.

Ezri wanted her photo taken with it. It’s in there. Somewhere.

At the tadpole pond, scooping up some wriggly baby frogs.
