The clock was ticking, so I broke open the box and got out the directions. After glancing through the multistep pamphlet I decided this had better wait for Ben. Mom and I went to the grocery store and got all the ingredients for the dinner we were cooking. It was getting late, so Mom decided to pick up the boys while I started the cooking. Now, any of you who know me, know I have given up on cooking a long time ago. It's not that I can't cook, I actually used to be quite good at it, it's that I haven't had anyone but infants and toddlers to cook for in quite a few years. I read the ingredients, skimmed the directions, and got started. Unfortunately, skimming the directions was a bad idea because I skipped an important step. Thankfully, Ben came home and decided that taking over the cooking was more important than putting together the toys. So, I was back on toy duty. I armed myself with Ben's electric drill and did my best. The next thing I know, Mom is back and the boys are trying to break into my work room. I couldn't have them spoil the surprise, so I sent them to a friend's house until we were ready.
This was taking a lot longer that planned. I was ready to pull Ben from his culinary duties when there was a knock on the door. It was another friend's husband! Thank goodness! I put him to work finishing up the train table, because after all, dealing with Fischer Price is a man's job.
He got the table ready just in time. Maddox must have gotten tired of waiting for his party because he tried to burst through the door before we were ready.
The train table was the hit of the party and Ben put the Cozy Coup together while we were all eating dinner (the dinner he cooked, poor guy).
The boys had a great time at the party and enjoyed their Sesame Street decorated cupcakes.
I now have a one year old and a three year old (almost). Time goes by too fast.
