Spiderman vs the Autobot

At Target the other day Drew and I picked up these hats, gloves, and backpacks for less than a buck. You know me, no matter how ugly, I'm a sucker for a deal! Of course Michael and Zach were in heaven. (Ignore the date stamps, like I said in a eariler post..it's a new camera!)

I think Zach was showing off for the camera, but Michael was on a mission to save the world from the evil....Spiderman!

We taped the Superbowl to watch on the newly instituted "Superbowl Monday," a Bates tradition for 2 whole years now. Drew is a good sport about it, and pretends like it's just as good as watching it live. He entered his isolation chamber Sunday afternoon while I vigilantly manned the VCR (a recent DI purchase). He took off work Monday and we started the pregame stuff around 10:00. By the time we watched the game, paused in the middle for a nice long nap (hey, I'm pregnant here!) and caught all the postgame stuff, it was 6:30! Drew was engrossed the whole time, but the boys ran out of steam quickly. So, for the 4th quarter we found something else to keep them occupied....

That's Mary Poppins playing on Drew's laptop in the hallway. Close enough so we could see them , but far enough away that "Just a Spoonful of Sugar" wasn't overpowering John Madden! Thank you Disney!
