B with his wolverine claw. He came home from preschool with those notched popsicle sticks, then disappeared downstairs with a roll of tape and some scissors. A few minutes later he came back upstairs proudly sporting the claw.
Z is supposed to wear glasses. We tried it last summer, and it was a disaster. She broke prescription glasses three times in two weeks. We ended up deciding that they were more of a danger than a benefit at that point, and gave up until she was a little older. Then a couple weeks ago, M had a brilliant idea: why not buy her some cheapo glasses at Claire's and let her play with them? Maybe she'll break them, but at least it's only $5 down the drain instead of $100+. Or maybe she'll like them & will actually wear them for fun, which would make it easier to get her to wear "real" glasses eventually. It worked! She loves them. She rarely gets them on right (usually they're upside-down, which is extra-coot), but who cares? At least they're on her face and she's not secretly trying to snap the stems off while we're not looking.

I love the Wolverine claw! Wolverine is a hero of mine, as well.
And QQ wears glasses (sunglasses) much the same way (either upside-down or cockeyed). She's sometimes wear them for all of a minute or two -and then they're facedown on the sidewalk, having been thrown with some force.
Great idea with the glasses.
B looks like freddy kruger! Glad you told us it was Wolverine, that's much better!
stupid factoid...we have Wolverines at our zoo...they are wild little beasties...from Minnesota!
Gotta love the Wolverine... or Hugh Jackman - which ever... he is my 'wallpaper' :)
Hope it is still snowing in July when I am in CO... cannot wait...
Sorry I don't get by to visit as much - life here is insane right now... which is a good thing :)
Take care
