Train Ride

So Trent found this place about 30 minutes from here that offers steam and diesel train rides.  It's sounds better than it was...You can only imagine all the little boys that were there.  When we had first mentioned it to Gus he pretended he was sick so that he wouldn't have to go.
So they have these old train cars you can look through while you wait for the ride.  Once you board and the train starts going there is this old guy that asks to see tickets.  I thought 'what are they going to do to me if I don't show the ticket? throw us off? ' I know they were trying to make it like riding a train would have been, but I felt it to be rather lame and was not happy that I had to get up early for this. Overall the boys had a great time which is what matters most.  When we were walking back to the car Gus said 'mom don't be grumpy'  I was surprised because I hadn't said anything.  my reply was 'well i don't mean to be grumpy but I'm hot.'  He said he was hot too and not to be grumpy about it.  He's such a stinker!  Here my 7 year old is telling me to suck it up.  So once we got home I took a nap and felt better.

Last night I ventured to Target by myself, got lost but found my way back-i was too stubborn to call Mr. Navigation.  Earlier in the day I had read Gus' new school's parent manual and was excited to see the 2nd grade school supplies list.  I needed an excuse to look through all the school supplies.  So Target had the section and it was in the back of the store near outdoor furniture.  There was a lady sitting in an outdoor chair reading gossip magazines with her shoes off.  Can you believe that????? I was shocked.  Why do people think that that's ok?

Oh well....We are venturing to the Raleigh Farmers Market today.  We were told it has an extensive selection.  Trent has intentionally not purchased fruit the last 4 days because he's holding out for today.
I'll let you know how that goes.
