Day Out With Thomas




You know when you tell children to smile and they just pull the cheesiest thing?





Well I think My baby does a really fabulous cheeser!













This year we went to the 'Day Out with Thomas'. Which was a very interesting experience for both me and Evan. I think he enjoyed most of it. He loved the train ride with the girls. They had the 'conductor' sit with them - which blew my mind that Evan did not run screaming (after he looked at me and said in the most informative voice he has 'driver'. As if I didn't watch enought Thomas movies to know this already.





After the train ride there was this tiny hay maze. These kids loved it. They ran and ran. Mae never wanted to leave - Its a good thing we tried for pictures first.


Ev has never really been one for pictures. It wasnt really a suprise to me that he became the hay block rebel...




Overall, I think it went great until he found the train tent. Then it fell apart. Grandma Susan had to get him a train (for a rape me price). And it still didnt work. So Evan and I left as many many many other parents and children did- Pick them up kicking and screaming and making empty threats about never being able to go anywhere or do anything with Thomas again! Which in our case ended when we got in the car and turned on the Thomas movie.

SOOOOO BEHIND.....

Mine, not yours. So today at work, I wandered over to the other area (which is now punishable by death) and learned something very interesting from my snake charming horse riding cowgirl and her side kick the twelve year old. THEY BLOG!!!! Now my sister has been doing this for a while- but I never felt bad for only posting like two times in my whole life because I would use the excuse that I didnt have time. But that has all gone out the window. If the Mar-Mar's have time to do this, then so do I.

Now bear in mind that I dont do this at all. So if the pictures arent right (like they don' even exist) or the text is not centered or wrapped or something feel free to keep your suggestions to yourself. I have tried to get my most recent pictures off my memory card and onto the Kodak program, but am not very successful with it - I will keep trying and maybe get a more recent picture of the fat baby on here.

I know work is lame, but I am still rolling my eyes about it twelve hours later. Our Captain has been handing out the "other duties as assigned" like they are going out of business. My snake charming buddy has been so good to go along with my crazy Bountiful ideas (luv ya!) - and somehow we both got roped into the business of fixing other peoples problems (yes that is the general wording of our job description, but still...). You think with her horse riding- pig roping- cow tipping experience she could have seen the ropes coming to get us. And she may have, but as she had this news broken to her many weeks ago, I think she didn't yell out to warn me so she would have some company on the broken boat of corrections.
