Episode: My Superhero


We have to go to the Department of Changing your name Legally next week to get Rui officially renamed as Spiderman. What were we thinking anyway calling him Rui. It really was inevitable. Lenni lent him her Spidey suit on Friday when we went to visit her and all the kids. I had to pry it off him this morning (today is Sunday) so I could get it washed because she might come and pick it up today.
Gabby, luckily was appropriately named because she has spent the whole weekend indoors (with this snow!) playing Wii - especially the High School Musical singalong game.

Dave even treated us to 2 performances and Rui also sang a song and got a B!
