Addison wanted a 'Superhero' party for his fifth birthday. Andy and I wanted to honor that desire without having an evening filled with small boys running crazily around the room like "Dash" and others pinning us against the wall with their spider webs. So......creative Dad to the rescue!
Andy created a myth....i.e. background story.... to how Addison got special super powers and how he chose three special boys to share his powers with--thus creating the "A-Team". Their super powers were the common superprowesses of flying and magical breath that could free victims who had been frozen by "Mean Man".
Andy created the above costumes himself. The boys thought they were the best! Addison's friend Luke had this to say, "Andrew, could we use these costumes for Halloween?"
Every superhero team needs a logo. This amazing logo, which actually captures the physical characteristics of the A-Team, was created by Aaron, a student at Malone whom Addison adores. (In case you're questioning our math. The original A-team did have five members; however, one member was not able to attend the party as planned.)
This is the extremely evil villain -- Mean Man.... Sexy, too, isn't he?
Mean Man was finally captured and subdued by the A-team flying in circles around him together as a team. Notice, the villian is captured without violence! A pacifist superhero....I wonder if a Disney franchise is in the cards?
The A-team has to get their super-energy somewhere. (I will tell you their other identities, just don't let Lois Lane know.....left to right--Luke, Addison, Noah, Phillip)
It was a fantastic night; Addison wore his costume, including his mask, throughout the entire next day. He actually turns 5 on Dec. 11. He loves superheros, his daddy's stories, playing with his sister, playing with any computer game, and writing/coloring. We feel really lucky!
