I plan on wearing pajamas and a sleeping cap, so Simon decided to go the sleeping cap route as well. 🙂

Flannel Rhyme:

FIVE WHITE FOXES

Out in the woods under the sun,

Up ran a white fox and that made one.
One white fox under a sky so blue,

Up ran another and then there were two.

Two white foxes sitting by a tree,

Up ran another and then there were three.
Three white foxes trotting by the shore,

Up ran another and then there were four.

Four white foxes watching a beehive,

Up ran another and then there were five.
Five white foxes sunning by the shore,One went swimming and then there were four.

Four white foxes underneath a tree,One chased a squirrel and then there were three.

Three white foxes looking for something new,One found some berries and then there were two.

Two white foxes having so much fun,One chased a butterfly and then there was one.

One white fox enjoying the bright sun,It ran home for supper and then there were none.

Music:

My assistant Travis, who plays the guitar is in charge of the music, and I honestly don’t know what he’s picked out yet. I asked to to lean toward lullabies.
