A turtleneck, paper and some scissors.....flash of fun

So today was one of those days where the kids didn't have school, dad had to work, and mom was sick.  Fun times all around.   

But wait, superhero costume in a box to the rescue!  Seriously, what to do when you are under the weather and kids need something to do?

Step 1: Grab the largest long sleeve shirt you own and turn it into a cape
Step 2: Cut out superhero mask from paper or fabric
Step 3: Ask child what superhero they want to be and what their powers are
Step 4: Send them on a mission to save the world

And yes, I had an hour to myself while the kids engaged in imaginary play, exercised (lots of running back and forth, ninja moves), and worked as a team against the forces of evil.
