spider girl

Last night was "super- hero" night at AWANA.  The only thing that Lyla has ever dressed up as before is a princess, so this was a brand new concept for us.  She will occasionally ask us to tie a blanket around her neck so that she can fly around the house like super man, but that's about it.  She does love super hero movies like "Superman" and "Green Lantern".  So, I was pretty excited about super hero night.  Travis and I went to the Disney store to see what we could find.  The salesgirl had a really cute idea.  She suggested that Lyla dress up as Rapunzel and carry a frying pan as her super hero weapon.  I immediately thought about how many little AWANA cubbies would end up with concussions by the end of the night.  Nope, onto the boy department...

We had a good selection to choose from with "The Avengers" coming soon.  They had options like buzz lightyear, captain america, hulk, iron man, thor, and...spider man.  Since spidey doesn't require any props and is a fairly simple costume, spider man jammies it was.  We threw on a red beanie and showed her some spidey moves and she was ready for the night!

I wish there were sound effects here.  She makes a cute noise when she throws out her webs.

Lyla's bible verse for the night was "Children, obey your parents in the Lord."  - Ephesians 6:1.  For obvious reasons, I love this scripture and spent extra time in reviewing this with her this week!  I have to say that Lyla has been so good lately.  I think we are well past the terrible twos and onto a very enjoyable time with her.
