Muscle Man and Sunday Fun

Since it's football season we are generally in the house watching the games all afternoon. To compensate, we made sure to get out this morning. We had breakfast at the park and tried to play...Kiran wasn't interested! So, off to Target we went. Kiran picked out this "muscle man" superhero costume (gotta love 90% off the halloween merchandise!) and was quite thrilled to play superhero once we got home!

I also try to have projects to do while we watch to keep Kiran busy and because the kid LOVES any "project"! So, today we made a Thankful Tree for Thanksgiving. We cut a tree out of an old box (I have to say I impressed myself with the 3D tree!) and Kiran cut out leaves out of foam sheets to write what we're thankful for. He got impatient and had to write his name and one thing his was thankful for on the tree trunk. In case you can't read the preschool writing - Kiran is thankful for glue!

Here's our finished tree. Kiran thought of one more thing he wanted to write on it...he's thankful for his little chair. This was in addition to the things he came up with earlier including his little table, crayons, costumes, puzzles, and cutting.

And at the end of the day, we have our typical Sunday disaster in the family room/dining area. But Kiran was having fun and was hard at work at his little table. He takes everything very seriously and takes every opportunity to "collect information" and write it all down. We're doing a lot of spelling words out for him lately and find countless sheets of paper filled with the letters/words he's been "working" on.

Later, when he was getting tired and goofy, he decided to wear a cloth puzzle as a wig. He needed to have long hair so he looked like Michael Jackson and could perform for us. Can you see the resemblence?
