This Train Is Bound For... Snacking
With apologies to the lovely person who first wrote the American spiritual "This Train is Bound for Glory," we present our afternoon project today...
...the beginnings of the coal tender...
...filling the coal tender...
...the finished train with its chocolate chip "coal" and stockpile of extra "coal"...
...we left poor Kieran with only a tube of wrapping paper and an empty Cliff bar box for amusement, and some freshly-steamed asparagus for a snack...
...the train artist himself!
..the TRAIN!And also! We got out tree up this weekend, so the holidays may commence at the Menagerie House! YAY!

Gorgeous! Wait till you see our sad excuse for a gingerbread house (as yet unstarted).

Hey All - It's still here, but we've had to convince the Lemur that gingerbread trains are not for dinner...
Chichimama - I cheated and used a kit with pre-made gingerbread. I bought it at ShopRite. They had a house and a castle as well as the train.
