Birthdays...

Well, it's getting close. Closer than I even thought. My boy is trying to turn THREE. I can hardly believe it. And he's talked about his upcoming birthday for weeks now. I kept explaining that first Mum would have one, then Daddy, then him. The other two have come and gone, and he's still waiting. Soon though! Of course we've already gotten him a couple neat additions to his train set and I wasn't good about waiting to give them to him. Well, what actually happened is that I wasn't good at hiding them from view...and the rest is history.

I'm not sure who enjoys them more though, him or the kitten (Doof). He runs up the rams, through the bridges and tunnels, racing and acting crazy. Wait, that pretty much describes both of them....hmmmmmm.....

This week is hectic. I'm trying to get our side of the house painted as a little side project before Andy's parents come down this weekend. So far I'm a bit behind schedule, but yesterday the cat kept climbing over the baby gate and putting his paws on the paint. And today as I was rolling the ceiling, I snapped the handle and the roller fell on my head, distributing paint on me, the floor, and everything else you could think of. Bet you wish I had a photo to go along with that one!!

And next weekend we go to Maryland to ride on.....you guessed it....THOMAS himself! The real live THOMAS!!!! Who happens to be appearing in several places across the US at the same time, but I'm sure ours will be the REAL LIVE ORIGINAL THOMAS. At least it will seem that way to anyone under the age of 5, let's hope. So here's hoping that I a) find my camera in time, and b) that little boy has the best birthday celebration possible. I think there's a shot.
