Man of Many Talents

Spiderman of many talents, that is. He can save a city from crime and mow the backyard all in a day's work. Not to mention scare a sister into behaving. Merrick has many obsessions. He's an obsessive type of kiddo. Sometimes it drives me a bit crazy, the way he gets hung up on things. But at the same time he is amazingly persistent, notices details and doesn't forget a thing. (Looking at the bright side, here)


I've occasionally been given the third degree for deviations from the norm such as taking a different route home from the gym. "Mom, where ARE you going? This is not the way home." But at least ONE of us won't get lost, right? Even if, in my defense, I was just trying to go drop off some bills at a mailbox, not confuse my children.


He loves all things Spiderman right now, and this will be his Halloween costume since nothing else will be tolerated. I'm afraid I might be shot with his web if I didn't comply, as baby sister has been in the past. For a long time he wouldn't even try to "shoot a web" like Spiderman because he couldn't hold his fingers right. Perfectionist much? I have NO idea where he gets that from. Ahem.


I'm not sure what started the Spiderman fetish, but I guess it could be worse. Spongebob, for example, isn't nearly as talented I'm sure. And it would be hard to scare little sisters by just laughing obnoxiously. So makes sense I guess.


Check out more Fall shots at YouCapture.
The first shot is for Show Off, and last is for Texture Thursday.

Such cute pictures! I didn't know super heros did yard work. I guess they have to keep themselves busy when crime season slows down!
