The Little Red Hen

Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!

Noisy Nora

Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

A Chair for My Mother

A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Glow-in-the-dark pajama boys

Okay, like many moms I have a weakness for dressing strings of boys alike. Only now that they're older, I try to confine my efforts to pajamas and Christmas sweaters.

How cool to find these glow-in-the-dark dinosaur blanket sleepers at Target all the way up to size 16/18. The only trouble is that now Ben (6'4") wants some too! I promised him I'd look - but then he has to let me blog his picture too :)

I ordered these from Target via Amazon - but just checked and they are all out of dinosaurs. They do have some robots and other themes, though:

Love,

I'm a real lover of boys' pajamas. They're always so hilariously obnoxious.

My mother in law has a lovely tradition. She buys all 8 of her grandchildren matching Christmas themed pajamas and hands them out on Thanksgiving Day. After the big Thanksgiving meal, we take photos of everyone dressed up in their PJs. The kids range in age from 2 years to 16 years old. Your boys look great in their PJs. You and your children may enjoy this tradition too.

Oh, those are great! I'm a big fan of matching-boys-clothes.

One of our Christmas traditions is having a bed-related gifts on Christmas eve -- often pjs, but sometimes sheets or pillows or the like.

We have an angel-tree child to buy for this year, too -- and are looking for the right pair of pjs for him.

Those are so adorable!

I also love the idea of buying grandchildren matching PJs, I may have to do that when I become a grandma!

I love it! I love matching outfits, but I really love dressing my girls all the same. But while it's easy to find matching dresses for my 3yo and 2yo, it's almost impossible to find the same one for my 10yo. Anyone know of an inexpensive clothing line where I could get matching dresses for all three girls?
