Thomas the Train Table

Update.... They love the Train Table, So do I.. no fighting, no tattling, Just lots of fun!!! Yeah!! money well spent.

I don't know a lot about Thomas the Train. The reason for that is until the last 2 years I have watched mostly little girls. The girls were about the Step 2 kitchen, The Little Tikes doll house, The baby dolls, the Swings on the swing set...

Then the boys invaded us, I have 2 little girls I watch, one is here 2 days a week the other is here sometimes 2, usually 1. Part timers. Boys, goodness the Boys!!!... I watch usually 5 little boys who are 3 just turning 4 and the Wee Babe who is now 10 months old. He is a boy also, I am getting a new WEE Babe in August who will be 4 months old. He is 2 weeks old now and adorable.

Anyways, the Boys are all about Trains, Balls, Trains, The Climber, Trains, The tool set, Trains, Did I mention that they love TRAINS!!! all trains.. but Thomas is their favorite. Thank goodness for free OnDemand on our cable, because I can hook them up with Thomas anytime of the day for free.

Today I had went to some Yard Sales... DUDS!!!! then I needed to get to the bank it was after 1 p.m. I am sitting in line at the bank and see a Yard Sale sign that I had missed this morning.. Boy am I glad I missed it, because she was marking things down. They had the Thomas the Train Table.. I debated, Will it fit, Will it get played with, Is there enough stuff to keep the Boys busy.. Decided it was a good deal. I got the table and a whole box of trains for $50.00.. I hope it was a good deal.. I washed it up and took some pictures, so let me know what you think about my new Thomas the Train Table.. The top 3 pictures are of the same thing.. Sorry!!! couldn't figure out how to take them off.

Saturday!!

Wow, Saturday is here already, I am glad the week is over. I don't have any big plans for this lovely morning. From my Living Room window we can see a Yard Sale sign... So I think I will take a ride and check it out. I love Yard Sales, maybe there are some goodies there waiting on me. My sis actually called and wanted me to go to Yard Sales with her and my niece this morning, but I wasn't quite ready for my day to begin.. Now I am ready.

I think I will hit that yard sale and any others I can find. Then I would love to visit a couple of nurseries and find a few more plants for the flower beds. After that I need to wash the Van, inside and out.. Goodness how does that car get so dirty.

OOh, I need to go to the bank. Luckily our bank is open until 2 on Saturdays.. so nice.
I think I will then run over to a town about 35 minutes away and check out Kmart. I haven't been in a couple of months. I like Kmart just wish it wasn't so darn far away.

What do you have planned for your day??? Anything fun? I hope so, have a Great Day!!

The Garage

This is a couple of pictures I took this morning of my flowers by my garage. The huge bush is the Bleeding Heart plant. I will have to take another picture in a month or so when the lillies are larger, the bee balm is all the way up and the Hibiscus is a little taller and fuller. It bloomed yesterday, Red, so pretty.
Have a great day everyone!

( the second picture is the first one I took, the flag was really crooked)

(also, yes the garage needs painted)

Some of my Posies

Gerber Daisies, I love all of their wonderful colors.

Bleeding Hearts, I am awed by them.

These are Lillies, I love the colors
