Night time routine

Bedtime for the boys gets wacky! Bubble baths, dimly lit rooms, and reading books while snuggling with mom and dad is supposed to be calm and soothing. For some reason as soon as these monkeys are clean and sweet smelling for the night, their crazy sides come out (well more than usual). I don't understand it. PJs and lavender lotion are supposed to be sleep cues, right? Well for whatever reason, they have one last burst of energy right before bed. Maybe it's their version of a riot or protest of bed-time.

How can we go from this......

.....to this......

..... or this..... in about 8.3 seconds flat?

And how does this.........

turn into this.........

..... or this with absolutely no warning?
