The Ultra-Appreciatives

Remember, I said my mama's day was to be continued? Well, I was in for a wonderful surprise. I stepped onto the set, created by my wonderfully clever husband, and was treated to a song and dance by... The Ultra Appreciatives!!!

Here is the song, written by Ben, that was sung during the performance (to DMB's "Save Me"):

 Ultra-Appreciatives, how grateful we,

For what U do, and what U be...

Never heard of us, heroes kinda new,

Our super-power is our thanks for U...

With these here U's, we call 'em Uuumerangs,

So vital to-us, the name's just slang...

Symbolizes-how U save us, Papi, Brave, and True,

And-what, would-we-do, with-out "U"?...

U're there for us in, every way,

Brave drops her blankie, U save the day

U save us, Papi, Brave, and True,

What's an Ultra-Appreciative, without their "U"?...

U save us, save us,

A big thank-U, from us three

U save us, save us,

A big thank-U-from-us-three

We're so lost-when-U-are-gone

It's a conclusion forgone...

Caring for True from womb to now,

Potty training her, I'd have a cow...

False alarms and all, you're still content,

Even wiping up, all those accidents...

U save us, Papi, Brave, True,

And-what, would-we-do, without "U"?...

U save us, save us,

A big thank-U, from us three

U save us, save us,

A big thank-U-from-us-three

We're so lost-when-U-are-gone

It's a conclusion forgone...

I need U to free our clothes and house of dirt,

You wake up so early just to iron my shirts...

When I think of your love, I wonder wh-y-y-y-y-y

But Papi thanks my "double-U" for saving me

Ultra-Appreciatives, how grateful we,

For what U do, and what U be...

Never heard of us, heroes kinda new,

Our super-power is our thanks for U...

Equipped. With these here U's, we call 'em Uuumerangs,

So vital to-us, the name's just slang...

Symbolizes-how U save us, Papi, Brave, and True,

And-what, would-we-do, with-out "U"?...

Now, Ben would not consider himself crafty, but really, he is just too modest. I mean, come on, he cut and sewed on U's to shirts, found some tights, used my scraps for the U's and the capes, painted masks, drew a whole set, and wrote a song. If that isn't crafty or artistic, well, gosh, then I don't know what is! My husband is superhero-ly hott! 

They were just insanely adorable that I had to take lots and lots of pictures. I mean, what husband will dress up in tights for his wife?!! Apparently, mine and I love him even more everyday!!! See more pictures here. 

I love my Ultra-Appreciatives! I am getting spoiled, how are they gonna top this next year?!! I don't know, but I can hardly wait! I love being a mama!!!
