When Mama's Away...

the Daddy will break open the "saved" toys.

I went shopping today to buy the twins their "Spring/Summer Wardrobe". While I was gone this afternoon, Phil popped open some of the new toys that that we had put away for the kids to enjoy. Between Christmas and their birthday, they get so many toys that it is fun to put some away to "open" on a day when they need a little extra entertainment. Sydney Frances recieved her brand new Snow White dress-up set...complete with a tiara and some wobbly high heels. We had been talking about getting this out for her for a little while because we didn't want her to outgrow the costume. When Rush saw that she was getting to open something new, the "she got this for Christmas, so it isn't really a new present" excuse DID NOT work, so he also got to open his Percy train and tracks which we had been saving for him. He spent the rest of the evening by the track playing with new train, so it was a good move on Phil's part. He loved the train. Loved it. There are plans for a giant track with several engines and cars attached. Rush has the Thomas and Percy engines that were given as gifts, and our neighbor gave us all of their boys' trains and tracks, as well. The trains are battery powered, so he can hook them together, attach some cargo and send them on their way. He can also throw down the track brake and derail them all in a blink. Super fun!
