Tonight, I gave the boys a bath by flashlight which totally delighted them and stopped all bath fighting and splashing hijinks. They even made shadow puppets. I totally recommend "dark bath," as they called it, if you ever want to shake up your routine.
Jack has been cracking me up lately when I catch him playing. He is really into acting out scenarios with little figures from multiple playsets at once. He lies on his stomach and moves guys around and talks in many different voices. He distinguishes between his various Doras. He has Dora, Princess Dora, Hair Dora, and Brand New Dora. He also calls Mrs. Claus Santa's mother.
Here's Santa kicking it on an aircraft carrier

Now that Ben and I have made it through 15 minutes of un-skippable previews on The Town blue ray, I'm going to actually watch the movie. Hope you're having a fun night too.
Dark bath is brilliant. Once in awhile I take a dark shower cuz I find it to be even more relaxing but never would I have thought about it for the kids. Great tip!
