Thomas
July 4, 2008
We took the boys out to Thomas last Saturday. It was hot–I think someone said the temperature was 106, and it sure felt like it. We just melted, but the boys had a great time (look at the expressions on their faces in the pictures). At least we didn’t end up with any sunburn.
When we came home from Thomas, the boys got out their plastic Thomas trains. At one point, they had five engines running around the track.
Nancy and I are going to Japan on Monday, so there won’t be any posts for a couple of weeks. Hopefully I’ll get something posted at the end of the month.
Our strawberries and raspberries are starting to come in, so the boys have been out picking several times. They never seem to have any left in their bowls when they’re done picking, though 
We also have four cherries on our cherry tree–we lost a lot of cherries to the weather.
By the time we get back from Japan, it will almost be time for preschool. The teacher will come and meet the boys in August, and Nancy is going to take them to several playdates with other kids from the preschool.
You have to watch out for three-year old logic. I had the following conversation with Owen this morning:
Owen said, “Can I have strawberry milk?”
“No, we’re about to have lunch.”
“Where are we going for lunch?”
“I don’t know–ask your mother.”
…he runs off and comes back…”She doesn’t know. Can I have a strawberry milk now?”
