Bedtime Stories with Lucas

Pajama Time
by Sandra Boynton

The moon is up, it's getting late,
Let's get ready to celebrate.
It's Pajama Time!

Pull on the bottoms, put on the top,
Get yourself set to pajama-dee-bop --
It's Pajama Time!




Now some are old, and some are new.
Some are red and some are blue.
Some are fuzzy. Some are not.
But we can all pajammy in whatever we've got.
It's Pajama Time!
Yeah, yeah, it's pajama time!

Some are pink and some are green.
Some are the ugliest you've ever seen.

They might be stripey, or polka dot.
But we can all pajammy in whatever we've got.
It's Pajama Time!

Pajammy to the left - - -
Pajammy to the right - - -
Jamma jamma jamma jamma P! J!
Jamma jamma jamma jamma P! J!

Now all around the room in one big line
wearing our pajamas and looking so fine.
It's Pajama Time!

Hop into bed. Turn out the light.
You can have a party in your dreams tonight.
IT'S PAJAMA TIME!
Hush, hush.
It's pajama time,
hush, hush.
Good night.
Sleep tight.

Freestylin'

Josh and Lucas have a new favorite video -- Ronaldo vs. Ronaldinho in a freestyle soccer contest on YouTube. It's set to great music ("freestyla") and they will watch it over and over and then rock out to their own freestyling moves.

When you have 10 minutes to spare, watch both of these videos and compare and contrast.

Here is the link to the inspiration:

And here are my boys' inspired moves:

Random photos of the boys at play

Playing Wii Music (drumming, I believe):



The dinosaur exhibit at the Museum of Science and History:

Digging for dinosaur bones:

Found one!

Shooting the water cannons:

A little clean-up:

Josh showing off his school project: the insect he made from items you can find in your house (his choice was an ant made from lemon juice bottles):

Lucas sliding down the inflatable at Josh's school carnival:

Lucas' acrobatics. We took him to see the Chinese acrobats perform at the Main Street Arts Festival, and now he just tries to stack things and climb up them, and then balance himself in different poses and yell, "Acrobat!"

A chocolate alligator-adorned lollipop from Mommy's work trip to New Orleans:

Happy Mother's Day

Believe it or not, Lucas is actually smiling in this picture. This is what it looks like when he "oversmiles" for photos. I laugh every time I look at this card.




My loot from Josh: handprint flowers; a drawing of him doing something that makes me smile (he chose himself going to the movies (without me) to see How to Train Your Dragon, because, he reasoned, I was proud of him for not being afraid of the dark) (that's me smiling on the right side of the drawing); my certificate for being the greatest mom; and my hersey's kiss treat (which he asked if we could share; there is one of them in the spoon).




A closer look at the certificate. Josh has the best mom because "She spends time with me. I love my mom-e."



I am very lucky.
