The World of Transformers, Spiderman and other Super Heroes

I've come to the realization that I am out of my league having 2 boys. I thought I had a handle on boy toys. After all, I was a "Hot Wheels" kind of girl growing up! When Malachi and Isaiah were smaller, they loved to fix things with their hammers, screwdrivers, pliers. I knew what each tool was called and how it was used. Piece of cake.

But as the boys are getting older, they are becoming more interested in the unknown (to me) world of Super Heroes. Really the only experience I had with Super Heroes growing up was when my dad, sister, and I were wrestling, my dad would say "Nah nah nah nah, Batman!". When James and I were first married, the Spiderman movies came out so I became familiar with him and I also enjoyed the movie "Batman Begins". But other than that, I was clueless.

This past year, though, I've been introduced to Ironman, Wolverine, and the Transformers. For Christmas/birthdays, the boys received Transformer toys. They've asked me to help get their guys changed from a helicopter to a car back to the guy. Um, help! And don't even begin to ask me what all of their names are!!!

Also, for Christmas, the boys received a treasure box with Spiderman, Ironman, and Wolverine costumes, complete with masks. Now this I can handle! It's precious to see Isaiah dressed as Spiderman with his mask covering his face. The only part of his face you can see are his big, brown eyes with long eyelashes peeking out at you. He will come over to me and say, "Don't worry, Mommy, I'm a Super Hero here to save the day!" He then saves me from all of the "bad guys".

Samara condenses all of the Super Heroes names into one word: "MAN". Smart girl =)
