The Abengers

I have been looking through blog posts the last few days and realized just how much I enjoy looking back at the boys...especially in their younger years.  It is great to have a record.  So I need to keep it up and do better at recording what we have been up to.

We have such creative boys.  I love when they draw and create.  It makes me very happy.  Each year I have had them draw their valentines, then scan them in and copy for distribution.  They are treasures.  I think Ben's this year are very high up there as some of my favorites.  He has created his own comics this year and his classmates have encouraged him by continuing to ask for drawings of "The Abengers".  They are Super!  Ninja Penguin, Steve the Magic Taco, Dinosaur Chicken Nugget, and Dave the Apple. Since they are true heroes, they made them the Stars of his Valentines this year.  The kids in his class loved them. 

Add a Steve the Magic Taco Valentine's Box and you're ready for a crazy adventure.

 Here is Ben's "brief" description of his Abenger's series:

"The Abengers are the best possible heroes for when you want to get absolutely nothing at all done. Sometimes, they will even do more damage then good, even when they do nothing good, although it is completely unintentional. The first hero I am going to discuss is Dave the apple. For any of you questioning, yes, he is the apple falling in the following picture. He used to be a normal apple. Then he upgraded to Dave, which featured an apple with big eyes and a small mouth, a straight line expressing no expression. Only till early December did he once again upgrade, this time to Dave 2.0. This Dave had smaller eyes and a big wide happy, (somewhat creepy) smile. This smile is the only thing he can do, though he is perfect for rolling down a hill toward terrified enemies. He is what you call, "unorganic" and is 3 feet tall. This is the apple shown in the poster, but in the soon approaching Abengers graphic novel, it will mostly show Dave 3.2, who has a big jet pack.

Next is Steve the magic taco. He is a magic taco who flies floats around thanks to his small pet stars. What else can I say?

Then we have the Dinosuar Chicken Nugget, who is famous for...uh...nothing really. He tries to protect and defend chicken nugget's rights, until he realizes that they have none. The team considers him the team stunt man, a position that he is unaware of. Like most super heroes, he has a catch phrase, "oh dear". He uses this catch phrase in times of danger, which comes all to often for the poor piece of chicken.

The last person   Abenger considers himself to be the leader of the team. He is Ninja Penguin, an Adelie penguin who wares a small grey mask. The only thing he really cares about is flying. #he`s-a-penguin. His well known poem is written on one of these posters. "Humans say I can not fly. But that's okay to me. For I know that I can fly, Just as well as thee. The Abengers are...okay. "a quote by me"
