Even superheroes need a good breakfast!
On Saturday morning
(make that early Saturday morning, when it's much too dark to take the amazing pictures I'd like to have taken,) the kids found this sign, along with their best superhero costumes laid out for them:
Once in costume, they were led to the kitchen for a fun surprise:
I love Sofia's face! This is probably the angle she was looking at:
Superheroes, power up to save the day!
I staged a fun little breakfast for the kids, using
stamps and
dies from Clear and Simple Stamps.
They were greeted with their regular breakfast fare, only a bit dressed up for some extra special fun.
Their regular green smoothie became "hulk smash smoothies"
(yes, they get one almost every morning: banana, peanut butter, wads of spinach, and milk.)
Kapow!
Comic bursts makes the cutest muffin toppers.
Boom! banana muffins.
(and a thank you to my crafty bff, Denise, for helping me come up with some of the breakfast names.)
For each breakfast food label, I stamped and accessorized a rag doll in superhero fashion, and then created a mask to be able to stamp either the
sunburst or the
comic book backgrounds "in behind."
I did buy some special treat cereals for the occasion: chocolate cheerios became "rings of power..."
...and frosted flakes cereal turned into "mr. freeze flakes."
I re-created "captain america's shield" with a waffle star, surrounded by yogurt and berries in the appropriate red and blue colors.
This banner hung off the table, so as not to compete with the chalkboard decorations...
I treated each banner panel the same way as I did the breakfast labels... my favorite part? The s-u-p-e-r that I thought to stick into rag doll Mia's banner.
The kids were seriously thrilled. They were so excited and giddily happy for the rest of the day, and never changed out of their costumes.
(just as an aside, Maia was also eating breakfast, but she wouldn't don a costume, and demanded to eat on the floor, so as not to be photographed. sigh. but she was just as happy!)
After their superhero "power-up" breakfast, they were each awarded with these certificates:
Because, you aren't really certified until you've been
doubly hereby certified. *hee*
I hope you've enjoyed our little dressed up breakfast! These designers have fun things to show off as well:
