Tonight has been a hoot. Amanda is at a book study group, and Ben and I have been playing for hours. I was about to put him to bed when our women’s lacrosse team’s favorite movie, “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl” came on the Disney channel. Ben was absolutely mesmerized! It is now 10 and I am letting him stay up (after all his mom is gone) and he has no regrets….in fact, neither do I.

In truth, Sharkboy and Lavagirl is probably one of the worst movies of all time….that’s why the lacrosse girls like it. When they were here watching it a few months ago their laughter was heard all over our house. We actually own the 3D version, but Ben would never wear the glasses I am sure.

But in just a few minutes Sharkboy and Lavagirl will save the world….perhaps just minutes before Ben and my world ends…..but it will be worth it. He is having the time of his short little life, and I am enjoying it too. He and I have a lot of fun together. I am more than happy to let it continue tonight!

Goodnight my friends and God Bless. Maybe she will not notice we are both still up! I can dream!
