Good vs. Evil

I was surprised when Hunter wanted to dress up as Spiderman.  Jacob was the ringleader (of course) in this game of pretend, but Hunter doesn't usually like to wear costumes. 

This guy has no problem donning a costume.  The costumes have been behind a locked toy closet door for quite some time.  The basement has always been out of control and a struggle to keep clean.  We finally got it cleaned up and put a lock on the door before the baby came.  New Rule: they are allowed to take one toy/bucket of toys out at a time.  Then the door is locked again until they clean up the current mess.  We put this system in place just before Adam was born.  They immediately messed up as much as they could with what was at their disposal and it has been like that ever since. We just barely cleaned it up this week for our 2nd attempt at our new system.  So far they have done great and they have been playing downstairs a lot more lately.  I think they really missed all of their toys!! 

Hunter's mask makes me laugh.  They eye holes are on the side of his head!

These guys make me smile!
