A Rainy Day

Today was awful! It poured until almost 2:00. Jon was sleeping in this morning and I was thinking to myself, "How can I entertain the boys and not have to watch Mary Poppins again?" The answer was the John Deere train that Uncle Maurice and Dot, Jennifer, Jase and Jayden gave the boys for their birthdays.

First, let me explain the train. It is a battery operated, ride on train, complete with tracks. It also makes "train" sounds. Yes it sounds like a train, I was regretting that by about 4:00 this afternoon.

The best part of the train is that Jack can ride it by himself. Which means that he spent most of his day going around in a circle on the train. Ben is learning how to work the controls, but by the end of the afternoon he pretty much had it figured out. He just needs a little help with the holding on part.

We only had a few incidents. Jack turned it over twice, becuase he thought it would be fun to ride sideways. He also almost ran over Ben once, but we are learning!

They had a great time. I cannot wait until nice weather so we can put it outside!!
