Thomas the train, sewing

My sister Mary Ellen called me this evening, reminding me I haven't posted in a while!  Sorry!!  Everything's fine up here.  

Sunday was a good day of church(es) in the morning, nap and a movie in the afternoon, and our monthly praise service at Fillmore in the evening.  

Last evening we were at Anthony and Lori's.  Pictures below.

And today I was sewing.  I made a valance for my dining room window.  This afternoon I had the piano lessons I usually teach on Thursdays.  I might sew some more yet tonight.  I want to make runners to put on top of my tables and entertainment center.  

Austin is a little pro at some of the games on Anthony's phone.  So cute!



Then it was surprise time.  Austin just loves Thomas the Train.  In fact, it was Thomas who helped to potty "train" him (how's that for a play on words??), because his underwear had Thomas on them, and he didn't want to pee on Thomas, hahahahaha!!  Anyway, back to the surprise.  Lori learned that a co-worker was selling an entire Thomas the train set, complete with table, for an unbelievable price.  Lori and Dick set up the table in the family room downstairs, then Anthony took Austin down.  I just wish I had captured the look on his face when we saw the trains and bridges, etc.  This pic was taken after more things were set up.  Below is a video I took a bit earlier on.

My grandsons LOVED Thomas too, one in particular. Gosh, it sadddens me how fast Austin has grown up, especially since I'm here and enjoying Daven. I love babies!

I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with lots of yummy food, good friends and family and lots of memory making moments.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hugs,
Kat

so precious! Boo Bear is a BIG Thomas fan and has the table - we got it for him last Christmas. I always looked for someone selling stuff but am always too late. The kids did find a set of trains and tracks on craigslist a little while ago. How fun for Austin!!!

Hope you are well - I figured you were just busy with life and this is a busy time of year. I hope you will post photos of the runners and curtains that you made!

Hugs,
Margie :-)

What fun for Austin!

Busy, busy. Sometimes I wish for slower days but the income I now have is helping very much so I will just be content with busy!

My sewing machine is broken.....haven't used it in years!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

John LOVED Thomas the train. I would be buy one of the Thomas trains to give him on a trip and he would be totally satisfied for the 5 hour trip. In fact, when John would get nervous he would just say "Thomas" when he didn't know what else to say (he was about 5 then). That still cracks me up.
