Deacon recently discovered the show "Thomas and Friends" and asks for it by pointing to the TV and saying, "Choo, choo, choo?" So we ventured north to the Union Station in O-town to check out their retired train yard. We dressed him in overalls like an engineer, but it was so cold we had to bundle him in layers and the effect was lost, haha. They actually had a few trains there, including the one that brought the Olympic Cauldron to SLC back in 2002.
I was intrigued with this cork board they had inside the station because it was made out of actual corks!
He was in heaven while we were there, but cried as we drove away saying, "Choo-choo" in between tears :( ***As I write this he is sitting on my lap all grins saying choo-choo, over and over.....
On Saturday I had a little Valentine surprise for Nathan. I'd been hiding a bottle of Martinelli's in the back of the fridge and made some chocolate dipped strawberries.
Then he surprised me with this hilarious card he made. Let's just say he has officially used more of my scrapbook supplies than I have Ü. I just finished reading Beneath a Marble Sky and had given him a breakdown of the story and how it centers around the Taj Mahal which a sultan built as a "small" token of the immense love he had for his wife. So I thought it was cute that he put that on the front of the card and tied it in with a cute saying on the inside.
That night we snacked on our strawberries and bubbly while watching this:
Don't judge!
This is seriously the best show. I dare you to watch the pilot episode and not be hooked!
