Fun with Thomas the Tank Engine

Playing With Engines

Today, Sarah asked to play with “engines.” So we brought down all the Thomas the Tank Engine tracks and trains for a little afternoon fun. She seemed to enjoy herself very much and refrained from eating the tracks…most of the time.

She loves her hat.

Going for Walk

Mom tries to make sure the kids don’t get a sunburn when they go for a walk. Here is Sarah getting ready to venture out. She enjoys her hat and seems to realize it makes her look cute.

The inseparable sisters.

Posing With Sister

Hannah remains as close to Sarah as possible at all times. Here we suggested a picture with the two special sisters. At that point Hannah plastered a cheesy grin on her face that was impossible to remove with mere words. It turned out cute anyway.
