Thomas the Train!

Yesterday I took Mckay and Jackson to the "Day Out With Thomas." The boys had fun getting their picture taken with Thomas the Train and then riding the train for a short trip. They also enjoyed the different stations you could visit before riding the train like building with Legos or playing with toy trains or meeting Sir Topham Hatt! Because of the price of the tickets I would recommend doing this only if your child loves Thomas and trains. It's definitely worth it, especially if you have 3 to 5 year olds! I thought Jackson was a little too young to enjoy the whole trip, but he liked the train ride. Thank goodness I didn't have to pay for Jackson's ticket since he isn't two yet! Yay!











































By the way, I wanted to add that we had a weird thing happen to us this past week. A few days ago the bathroom mirror in our master bathroom fell off the wall all by itself. This is a 7 foot wide and 4 foot tall mirror so it's pretty big! The first time it fell it just came forward and ended up leaning against a towel rack on the wall. The other end hit a decoration on the wall and broke completely off. We made some phone calls to have a glass company come and measure for a new one. Unfortunately when I was preparing for the glass people to come measure I didn't realize that the mirror was resting on the container that was holding my jewelry. The entire mirror ended up falling down the rest of the way on top of me. I was lucky I wasn't hurt worse. The mirror scraped up my arm and I got a few cuts, but nothing too serious to require stitches. I'll have a bruised arm for awhile, but I feel blessed that I wasn't hurt worse when the rest of the mirror came tumbling down in pieces all around me or that my kids weren't there when it happened. So now I'm paranoid about the rest of the mirrors in our home. I'm going to make sure the new mirror is secure this time around!

Mckay's Preschool Program!

Mckay had his last preschool program for the year last week! They are always fun to go to because the kids are fun to watch. Some kids really get into the singing (or yelling the songs) and start dancing and some are just like Mckay that would rather not even be there and just sit there and mouth the words. At home Mckay loves singing the songs he learns but as soon as he is in front of a group of people, he gets a little shy. Hopefully he'll out grow this soon. But we had fun anyway watching the kids sing patriotic songs and spring time songs.
