Bye Bye, Tickets!

Coleman and Carter are o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d with the Polar Express. Obsessed. And, they have Polar Express "tickets" that my parents printed off that they have taken with them anywhere and everywhere they go...including when they nap and go down for the night. The other night, Coleman woke up EVERY HOUR looking for his tickets. How that child even remembers that he has tickets in his bed, let alone is that concerned about them so frequently throughout the night is beyond me. He definitely doesn't have his Mommy's memory...I can't even remember what day of the week it is! Anyhow, after the eventful night of being up and down all night long we decided that the tickets had to go. So we talked about how they needed to go back to Santa until next Christmas, and we colored an envelope, put a "stamp" on it, put our tickets in, and even walked them to the mailbox. The boys went along with it fine...thank goodness! Now this Mommy can get a full night's sleep :o)
