Surprise Arrived!!!

Hold on to your pants everyone! Below are a ton of pictures!!

What’s this, the surprise box!!

Let’s open it up & see what’s inside, yeah?

oooh, Kalah has requested a needle case out of these fabrics….OMG I love them!! Nice, nice choice!

so what do you think it would take to bribe me into making a needle case for her?? Let me tell you Kalah, you are one smart cookie when it comes to bribes!

sorry if they are a little out of focus, lately some days no matter what settings I have the camera on I can’t get good pictures, but only on some days. Lame!

Let me preface the next group of pictures with a little background. Trevor loves trains, he has since before he turned 3. As any parent knows, when a kid loves trains they love Thomas the tank engine (theme song plays in my head, sing along Tracy). Now, the Thomas series has something like 80 (billion) different trains, engines, carriages, trucks, cars, etc.etc. So far the only engine that Trevor has needed but didn’t have was Henry (he pronounces it hengry, he used to use the word hengry for Henry and the word angry so Tracy & I always tease him by saying hengry engry, he doesn’t get us) the #3 engine. I have heard about Henry for the last year, every time he gets hurt or is sad he cries to Henry. He doesn’t want mommy or daddy, he wants Hengry! Do I have to go any further to get you to see that my child has a serious engine problem?

Now back to the pictures.

At this moment I really wish I had a background soundtrack on my blog. Trevor is sitting at the base of my chair looking through a Thomas catalog that Kalah so kindly sent with the trains & making the “ch,ch,ch,ch” ing sound. Every once in a while I hear a little yip of joy and in a falsetto voice of Henry a train whistle. sigh…if only there were something that made my heart leap like that….
