The Computer Guy and I recently took the three youngest children to the Oklahoma City Train Museum. We tried to bring the older children too, but I don't have the kind of money it would have taken to bribe them into being pleasant while climbing through old train cars on in extreme summer heat. #5 is three and loves trains more than anything. It was more my husband's outing with the children. I just came along for the ride.
The Computer Guy, #4, and #5
He taught them useful things like "This is the brake. It makes the train stop."
 |
| and all about that little doo-hicky thing that connects the wheels. (See how well I listen?) |
 |
| He put pennies on the tracks which the trains ran over and flattened. |
 |
| I said stupid things like "Hey. There's a wagon." and then took a picture of it with the color setting all wrong. |
 |
| Oh, and I carried the baby around in his sling. |
 |
| Then the baby got hot and I said it was time to go. |
 |
| Which made everybody happy. |
 |
| At last I could help. Bribery with a giant lemonade. |
 |
| and there was peace in the car. |
Oh, there was one other person at the train museum. The Computer Guy brought
her along. Have I mentioned that I hate her? I have? Good.

LOL! He didn't bring her to the coop meeting on Sunday, did he? I didn't get to see her! BTW, all went very well today!
Love, Suzanne
WOAH! Ok... I didn't know she was sooooooo hot. All super thin, and sleek and elegant; she looks really smart from the looks of things.
Seriously, and the way she is sort of whispering in his ear in that photo, shows how attentive she is. I mean, no offense but you didn't really LISTEN to him about the trains did you? And when she takes photos does she mess up the color settings?
I wouldn't worry though. I mean, I assume he doesn't have his hands all over all day or anything... right?
Please don't kill me :)
PS... I re-read that post and worry that I have lost the ability to write with any sort of grasp of the english language.
Oooo, I would have loved to have been there. I love trains, and no one else in my family cares one or the other. Sorry it was so hot, though.
"She" is small but extremely powerful. :(
Suzanne - She was there. She goes everywhere with him.
Joe - I think you're hysterical! How could I be angry with someone who makes me laugh? Remember that this is the MILF version, her predecessor was even hotter.
I totally always bribe my kids with giant lemonades...twins again!
:)
My train junkie is 13 and has been one since he was 3. If your little guy ever has *any* train questions, wonderings etc....Ian is your man.
When we were first married I referred to my husband's new computer as "The Mistress".
Ha! You caught them in the act... a photo to prove it!
Such cute pictures and oh, how boys love trains!!
