Nathaniel loves playing with choo-choos. So yesterday morning while Mommy went for a coupon run, Daddy decided a good distraction from Mommy leaving would be to build a mega wooden train track. While it never quite made it to the "mega" stage, it was still rather big and was a whole lot of fun for the kids. We still had a whole box of pieces left over, but I had hit the end of the line of my creative juices for the moment. Besides, being wooden tracks, they weren't too stable. Nate and Abigail really enjoyed it. Mom and Dad are still here and I think Mom just enjoyed watching me try to build it. I leanred that the key is symmetry. What you do on one side of the station you have to do on the other side so the track will line up. I wish I had this sort of set when I was a kid. Most of these pieces came from a free craigslist box of toys. Check out all those trains!
