I am so inspired by this scripture journal. I think I need to take my study up a notch or two. Could I be consistent enough to fill a journal?

a super-duper Four Fusion
Meet Four Fusion– our resident super hero who just turned 4. He picked the name (with help from his sister and a dictionary and trying to find a word that started with F that sounded good with 4) just for his super hero birthday party. Barry was in charge of the cup cakes and I was in charge of the super hero costumes.
I made a dozen little capes,
and a dozen little masks.
The little supers all drew their own super hero emblem on the back of their capes. (I can’t take credit for the genius idea though, I found it at Creative Kismet while I was asking dear Google how I was going to make a super hero birthday party really fun for 3 and 4 year olds.)
Brenna and Jonah created Super Hero IDs for everyone to color and fill out what their name and super powers were.
We attempted to play some Super Says,
but ten 3 and 4 year olds have attention spans about the length of one stint of standing on one leg with one arm in the air.
So they mostly just went wild in the basement.
The kids loved their capes and the really hard-core heroes loved their masks too. The felt was a little itchy on their faces– so if you want to try this I suggest using craft foam or something else that wouldn’t stretch out on the eye holes and wouldn’t have the itch factor for the masks.
Happy Birthday super guy! You really are one of the cutest people that have ever existed. We love your imagination and your strong will. We’re so thankful you were born– and especially that you’re ours!
(I think every one of these pictures that I picked for this post were taken by Barry– so thanks Barry for being a good photographer!)
hipsta
Barry surprised me with a new phone on Monday. The one had was from 2003– but his is the one that really needs replacing. We got it when we lived in Albuquerque– so 2001 probably? It has a greenish screen with pixelated gray text. He had to hold the battery on with tape for a while until he found its discarded twin in a box of junk and switched batteries with it.
Anyway, as I was saying, I got a new phone. It’s pretty cool. It’s an iPhone 4. It can do everything but fold laundry. If you find the app for that make sure you let me know.
I’m having fun with the Hipstamatic. Changing lenses and flashes and film with a flick of my finger is so fun. I’ve never been much into technology and games (except for tetris while I was supposed to be writing papers in college), but I have to say this gadget is pretty cool. I mean, it reminds me when it’s time to take kids to karate– my hand written paper planners could never do that for me, so even things that were written down in multiple places would get forgotten.
And my kids can’t keep their hands off of it. I told them I will not put kid tempting games on it because it needs to be a PHONE– but maybe I could find a good knitting app…
