Geotrax. Best toy ever, according to Henry

So, I came home from picking up Henry from pre-school last week to 8 large boxes on the front porch. I hadn't ordered anything and couldn't imagine Brian making such a large purchase. I did have a slight moment of panic thinking that he had followed through with his recent desires to purchase a "project" (i.e.. a completely dilapidated motorcycle or car).

Go back to this summer and our trip to Minnesota. We drove to Dallas to catch a flight and spent a lovely few hours with my friend Holly and her family. Remember these photos of my kids playing with their awesome toys? Well, the boxes were addressed to Henry and inside was their entire geotrax set. To say that Henry was excited was an understatement. He has spent almost every waking minute since then playing with his new train. Aubrey is loving it too. Fully assembled, it takes up the entire floor of our playroom. I am at a bit of a standstill on how 1) Henry will every allow me to dismantle it and 2) how on earth I will store it all neatly. A good problem to have I suppose. The kids are entertained on this rainy long weekend. Who could ask for more.

Thank you thank you thank you Holly. And thank you to Luke, Mark and Charlie for giving up your precious trains. You are welcome to come play with them anytime.
