samurai sj

On Monday, it was Labor Day.  We didn't have school and we didn't have any plans.  I was looking forward to a do nothing day, except for some minor housework.  We did our normal breakfast thing (pancakes) and I was deciding what chore I was going to tackle first.  Then, I heard small feet running down the stairs.  It was SJ.  He ran into the kitchen in his samurai costume.  He was practicing some kicks and yelling "high ya".  He had on a red bandana wrapped around his forehead and a white karate uniform.  We have several friends who kids practice Tae Kwon Do.  He appeared to be doing his version of his friends' exercises.  I tried not to laugh as he was in the zone.  Then, he set up his plushies as if they were his students.  He began to "instruct" his students.  It was quite a show to watch.  He wore that costume most of the day.  I didn't mind, since we weren't leaving the house.  My parents came over for dinner and he was still wearing the costume at dinner.  My parents are so used to SJ and his costumes that they didn't even react to it.  It was some comic relief to an otherwise boring day!
