Gotta love garage sales


Titus posing in this strange get-up in front of his "new" train table. We went to a couple garage sales Friday and found a whole box of "Crash Test Dummies" cars and trucks. These things are every little boys dream. They are made to explode apart when they crash into things. Not something I could ever be talked into for full price at the store, but a whole box at a garage sale, okay. I also found some bright, primary colored, wooden beads to string on shoelaces. These were mostly for Isabele when she's a bit older, but she likes them as things to look at a chew on right now - the stringing will come later.
At this point, since Isabele was asleep in her car seat, we decided to head over to a sale in Mentone that had a "train table" listed in the ad. Titus had seen a train table with trains at the toy store the other day and we had to pull him away from it, so we were casually looking for some Brio type trains. Well, it was worth the drive. What a deal! The table and a gently used starter set of trains and track plus an add-on set of cars were still there. The price was good and it was 95% Brio. Wow!!

I'm not sure why he needed one of his blankets wraped around his waist and his hat on - kids.
