TOTALLY THOMAS ... and A Bit of Decorating Fun!

I know, I know ... We've been back in AZ for 4 days now and yes, I'm still reliving the days of glory from our month in California.  But with Ben in Houston (he's trying to get home tonight before the hurricane hits!!) and me - doing nothing exciting with the kids except taking them to the Target garden department (and that might be considered more torture than picture worthy?)... I just haven't taken that many pictures since we've been back. 
Before we left town, Cake and Pap Pap watched Eli so we could take Joshua to the Totally Thomas Train Depot - Toy Store.  
Joshua was in Thomas HEAVEN!  He played and played and played!  
Finally, we were able to successfully drag him away and go to lunch at Claim Jumpers.  He agreed to go with us as long as "Mavis go lunch too."  
(Mavis is the "mo-key-motive" in the picture).
And ... when Bella (my mom) came to visit us in California, she bought Joshua an entire wood Thomas the Train set.  We found it on Craig's list for a screaming deal!!  When we got home, Bella came over with the "super surprise!"  Joshua has the train table and trains set up in his room and he now calls his room his "super surprise room!"  
What a happy camper!
And because my home is filled with SO MANY BOYS ... I decided it was about time to add a few ruffles to the roost!  These are pillows my mom and I made in CA ... 
 And ... a new centerpiece for our table.  My mother-in-law had lots of magazines that I went through and found some fun ideas!

  3. you always make fun things! You can come over anytime and give me some pointers. That would be much easier if you lived in our neighborhood rather than 14 hours away! Miss you friend.
