My crafty friend Kari made the cutest superhero cape for our friends' son's 3rd birthday. At the party, she mentioned she was going to make another one for a girl with rhinestones. Which got me thinking. A superhero cape would make a perfect addition to our dress up closet. I am always on the lookout for dress up clothes that aren't frilly princess dresses or wedding gowns. (For those of you who already know me, you know I don't do divas and I can only handle princesses in moderation.)
At first this was just going to be a non-princess dress up outfit but then it exploded to full-on Halloween costumes for the entire family.

My husband is such a good sport!
Then I took the superhero idea and made an awesome Christmas gift for my nephew (picture to come.) I paired his cape with a superhero tee and a superhero potty training book.
A few months later I got the idea to incorporate superheros into our annual cousin photo shoot. Every summer we try to do a photo shoot with the cousins for Grandparents Day.

Like I said above, this year we decided to do something superheroish. I present: SUPER COUSINS!
The two little cousins already had superhero outfits. I quickly made one for my niece (tutorial to come later.) We (my sister-in-law and I) asked my dad and a family friend to meet us at a park. We threw the costumes on and told the kids to go play.

| Thanks, Papa! |

| Thanks, Stephanie! |
Not only did Stephanie rock her X-men tee for the photo shoot, she took it a step further and edited a few of the pictures.
Between my dad and Stephanie, there were about 1500 shots. Click play to see a few of my favorites:
Next, I want to make a comic book for the kids. Shutterfly maybe? A friend of mine told about
Halftone, an app that turns your photos into comics. Has anyone used it?
