Hah, I remembered the wallet (and room key!). The really fun part was getting the sleeping kids (ages 4 and nearly 3) awake enough to get them down the stairs. The 4 year old pretty much slept thru the whole thing, including standing the the hall for a few moments waiting for stair access before moving to another stairwell.

The upshot? I did get to spend some time with the filkers, which I haven't done for a while. The downside? The nearly 3 year old is not asleep yet, at 2:30 am ::sigh::
