Thomas (Need We Say More?)

Blogging has taken a backseat to the chaos of our nightly ritual of dinner, bath, and bed, and the weekends are a blur. Even remembering to grab the camera is an afterthought. But we did bring it along for our first roadtrip to Strasburg, Pennsylvania before Thanksgiving to take the boys to see Thomas. Max enjoyed his jaunts on the trains, but wasn't as bowled over as we thought he would be to see a life-sized "Really Useful Engine" (maybe Spencer would have gotten him excited). We got a rich lesson in the importance of sleep and routine for little boys (with Max's non-stop tantrums on the floor of a store in the mall and Wyatt joining in the chorus). Still, it was a memorable get-away.

We hit the road at 6am. Max didn't sleep a wink on the way there, despite the heavy eyes.

Getting tired, but still insisting that he wasn't.

Wyatt out cold on the chair of the hotel room.

Completely unrelated to the trip, but too cute not to post.
