Choo... Choo...

Parker loves trains. In his new house he has a very large playroom with space for all his toys. We had promised to get him a train table for his track and Thomas engines. I knew they were expensive and I had even seen one on sale for $100. This week-end at a community yard sale we found just the right thing. Just as we were about to quite looking, we decided to stop at a spot where there were three sales close together. Maybe it was the shirt Parker had on, maybe she just liked the way we looked, but the lady holding the sale said, " We have a train table for sale." It was not assembled and leaning against the wall of the garage. I would never have noticed it! We took one look and knew it was exactly what we needed. Here's the best part--they only wanted 20 dollars for the whole thing. It included a bag full of trains and parts like trees and signs and people to set on the play area. We didn't need to negotiate, we started loading it in the car! And went straight home. . .
Where there was some very serious train playing.

It made Parker very, very happy. His mom says there has been non-stop train playing for the last couple of days!

The train table is awesome. Parker was very excited to show it off yesterday. He even let me play on it a little bit. That was a heck of a deal!

This buy could possibly go down in the record books as the deal of all eternity. Especially since two of those small train cars would cost 20 bucks at target.

Its 8:29am and he's been at the "toot toot table" for about 20 minutes already.
