Trains and little Boys!

Image What little boy does not like a good train set? None that I know of including my own. Aunt Sitter came to visit this weekend, since Computer Geek is out of town, and preceded to put together our Ge* track train system. It had been put up because Chunk was never able to play with it without total meltdown, because he was incapable of playing without destroying it. It seems now he is finally able to play without knocking it totally down, but does not want to share with his brothers, LOL.

Image Little Stray loved chasing the trains around the track. He was quite good at playing with them without knocking it completely down. You may ask how we came to have so much track? Well, it all started with T-Monster getting one piece for his birthday, then at X-mas time we asked all of the relatives to buy him track, needless to say we have lots of pieces now. We have had this for about 3 years now and all of the boys love it. I love it because it is very tolerant of boys (only one remote has broken) and you can buy pieces to add individually.


Image "Choo Choo" says little stray. This fall I have seen that Lighting McQ*en is going to be able to go on the track with his own remote. I know one little two year old who is going to love that for his birthday. They also have an airplane addition that we do not have but it's a little pricey, but who knows, maybe Santa.



Image A friend of mine (who follows this blog) has said I am great at buying toys, well this is one that is well worth the monies. The little train turn themselves off, saving batteries and the track it very durable, especially against little Godzilla's. Aunt Sitter spent allot of time setting it up just right, trying to use every last piece. Thank you Aunt Sitter for coming and playing and feeding us and helping mommy out. We are so glad you were with us on our restaurant adventures. And even though you left us and mommy got the flu that night we still love you.

Not me Monday!


It is NOT ME that has not blogged or played NOT ME in a while, so hold on for a long one.
It was NOT MY new Kindergartner that was sent to the office for FIGHTING the first full week of school, at his PRIVATE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL!!
It was NOT ME that was somewhat relieved to hear that my Kindergartner socked the other kid on the playground because he had had enough of this Kindergarten bully picking on him.

It was NOT MY Kindergartner that said he would not be seduced by the dark side again and would listen and obey.

It is NOT MY Kindergarten going big boy that has lost yet another tooth, pulled out by himself at the kitchen table, click on the picture to see for yourself.



It is NOT MY one year old who can climb up that rung ladder to the top of the play set and go down the slide all by himself.

It is NOT MY one year old who loves to chew gum (will actually chew it and throw it away when done) and can say "guh" when he wants it, but will not say mama.

It is NOT ME who is absolutely trilled that Little Strays birth parents have signed over their rights and now we just have to wait for the paperwork to be done (I am not holding my breathe), he will officially be ours, just a matter of when.

ImageIt is NOT ME who is including a picture of Chunk just so he does not feel left out.

What did you NOT DO this week.
