Day Out with Thomas and Bedtime Lately

Back in March we took Tommy to meet his all time train idol: Thomas the Train.  It's an understatement to say his dreams came true that day.  Here he is, with Daddy all to himself.


Tommy is checking his map, making sure we are in the right spot to board the passenger cars.




He had a blast riding the train.


He was thrilled.


He also had the bug-version of his mommy all to himself.

And the moment of truth, posing with Thomas...


We convinced him that this caboose was James the red engine.




Back home we filled the sand/water table with sand only, and it has been keeping the kids busy playing bulldozers and cooking with the sand and cups.


We've been getting some time in on the playset in the sideyard also.


Khera has taken over the bedtime story routine.  She's an excellent reader, she must get that from her Daddy.  When I was her age I spent more time fibbing about reading than actually doing it...


Tommy's been spotted in some interesting sleeping positions.




And Elle's bed is one stuffed animal away from being featured on an episode of Hoarders.


Sorry we've been away so long, but we'll be playing catch-up over the next couple of weeks.  I hope you're enjoying your spring as much as we are!  We'll be back soon!
