thomas the "train" engine

one of bryce's customers that he delivers to was getting rid of one of those pop-up play tents. it was clean and in perfect condition. "i'll take it." bryce told them, and tossed it into his truck.
after dinner, he took it out and surprised the girls with it. they loved it and immediately started playing house in it. when it was time for bed, ava told us to close our eyes while she "did something". when we opened our eyes she had dragged the train from the living room into her room, and with a "ta-da!" informed us of her grand plan to sleep under it for the night.

sure, why not?


we hoped that it might be incentive for her to stay in her bed the entire night through, but at 2 (or was it 3) in the morning we heard her feet run across the tile floor and into our room.

oh well.

i love getting free crap that i would never spend money on. does this mean ava doesn't sleep in her own bed either? you guys with these older kids and tales of them not sleeping in their beds is freaking me out. emmi better not try that crap. actually... she's probably well on her way to moving toward that stage. she's already started with coming into our room too bloody early in the morning and figured out that we are too tired and lazy to put her back in her own bed.
