My daughter, the superhero!

Ok, before I get to the Superhero story let's start here. Friday afternoon when the kids woke up from their nap I decided it was time for a haircut. Jackson was starting to be called a girl again (I still don't get it) and I had already trimmed Isabel's bangs a week ago. For some reason, Jackson had rather go to the Dr's office than get a haircut. It's always been like this. I have no explanation. Isabel is fine with it. Not scared and sits in the chair as still as I've ever seen her. Great. Well, before I brought up getting a haircut I asked the kids if they would like to get some ice cream. Yes, Yes. They wanted ice cream. So I said, ok, let's first go get a haircut and then we'll go get ice cream. Well, he was not fooled. Crying started. "No haircut, Mommy!" So, UGH!!!!!!!
I went from ice cream to a candy bar and I'm still dealing with tears. So I did what I felt needed to be done. I went straight to the top. I offered up the toy store for a new Thomas train. Done. We were in the car in just a few minutes off to get the haircut. He was hesitant and started to cry when it was his turn but I "nipped it in the bud" so to say. "Jackson Moore, you are going to sit down in that chair and get your hair cut like a big boy. No hair cut, no train." Needless to say, the hair is cut. ;)
(And yes, I know I'm being played by my son).
So, we're in the toy store FOREVER while they look at everything, touch everything, and ask a zillion questions. They have a Thomas the Train table in the store for the kids to play with so leaving can take awhile. Isabel hadn't found anything and then I heard her yell, "Mommy, look". What caught her eye? A bright red (Superhero) cape. She was literally jumping up and down. She is so funny with this thing on. Cracks me up, this kid.

Here she is, the Superhero!
