Outside the box

Joe got a new amp from eBay - a crazy story for another time - but Ben had a blast "swimming" in the foam peanuts from the box. As you can imagine it made quite a mess but seemed just too fun for us to say no...

We've been enjoying the warmer weather and have been building elaborate train tracks on the screened porch. He's REALLY into trains again these days. Ben's been sleeping with / "reading" / carrying everywhere a large, hard-bound book about trains Joe had when he was a kid. He loves looking through it and shows anyone who will stop to read it with him. I definitely need to get a pic of that!
