All aboard the Polar Express

Cold weather has settled over Kentucky leaving us confined in our home. Without the opportunity to go outside and play, restlessness has set in like an unwelcome house guest. We were having problems winding down the boys tonight after dinner. They were energetic, restless and confrontational. It was a constant cycle of timeout visits following toy skirmishes. Then, everything changed. While channel surfing I stumbled upon the movie “The Polar Express”, and the moment they saw a train, they were captivated. The room’s tension instantly dissolved, and each boy crawled up into my chair to watch the movie. Mommy brought us blankets for head rests and tucked us in. They were such wonderful snugglers, and we were soon toasty and content on this cold winter’s night.
