Quote of the Day

I'm a train guy, mom - I'm not a chore guy!

...in response to my new proposal for a kids' chore chart. Now he's all over it, though. At the end of the week he will get a dime for each star. With his saved money he can then go buy any trains he wants and can stop asking/telling me daily that it is time we go buy another train!

I Love Trains

I love my trains. I love Neville, Skarloey, Percy, Bill & Ben, Lady, Mavis, Edward, Culdee, Mighty Mac, Arthur, Alfie, and of course, Thomas! I like playing with them. I love touching them. I love seeing them. I want to talk to Thomas; I would tell him that I love him. My favorite thing is to dream about Thomas. I forgot some of the trains I love: Rusty, Henry, Gordon, Diesel 10, Diesel, Lady, Iron 'Arry, Iron Bert, Toby, Salty, Henrietta, Bill & Ben, Donald & Douglas.
