Dinner with Daddy and the Train Station

While Momma had a Miche Purse party (a couple Fridays ago) with the ladies, Jack and Quent went with Daddy to Halo Burger for dinner and to play. What a big treat for them to get Daddy all to themselves!!
Although they were very interested in the ladies and the purses, I think they ended up having a much better time here with Daddy!





They were so excited to come home and tell me all about their night out with Dad. Playing with the other kids, eating french fries and peeing into the urinal were their big highlights!!
Thanks Tom!!
The purse party was big fun too and all the ladies had a good time shopping for these cute purses -have you ever seen a Miche purse?? They are really cool!

All Aboard!!

Last Tuesday, Aunt Ky-Ky was arriving at our train station here in town, coming back from a trip to Chicago. How cool would that be to watch the train come in and have Aunt Ky-Ky get off the train?! So, we met Uncle Lenny at the station to greet Aunt Ky-Ky when she came in!

Her train was supposed to arrive at 10:15 (kind of late, I know, but still too fun to pass up).
It was delayed 20 minutes and we thought that we would still be okay to wait.
We found ways to pass the time...


Playing in the historic depot, trying on paper conductor hats.



And catching fireflies with Uncle Lenny. How cool is that?!
They followed this poor little firefly forever, until it finally found some safety in a tuft of grass growing out of the cement.

Well, the train kept getting delayed and when it looked like it wouldn't arrive until 11:00pm, we decided that we had to pack it in and head home with the boys. We were disappointed not to be able to be there when Aunt Ky-Ky's train came in, but later found out that it actually arrived at 11:45!!
So, it was better that we had not tried to wait any longer. Still it was fun to hang out at the train station with Uncle Lenny and we promised the boys a visit with Aunt Ky-Ky soon.
