Ticked at Thomas

There are greater tragedies in the world than this Thomas train recall, but still... what a mess. I mean, in this day and age, how does such a large and well-reputed company make a boneheaded mistake like that? And it's not like their toys are cheap, either. This morning I got out to the post office to send back our offensive car. After spending $1.39 on the bubble mailer and $7.82 to mail it, I will get a replacement for our $10 toy in about 2 or 3 months. I'm a sucker, right? - should have just thrown it away.

These photos are from yesterday, when it hit 34C or 40C if you're one of those people who factor in the Humidex. We filled up Liam's pool and let him have at it. However, I didn't fill it early enough in the day, and he still thought the water was too cold to get in for more than a couple of minutes at a time - and forget about actually sitting down in it!! Instead he played with his water wheel and filled up the watering can and dumptruck a bunch of times. Poor Mal had to watch from the sidelines, though Liam was kind enough to occasionally cart a toy over to show to her.

RE: THOMAS.
We are supposed to get some sort of FREE GIFT for our troubles for sending back the toxic trains and for our expense to send them back............can't wait to see what we get in 90 days.......can you hear my sarcasm over the internet? SHEESH!!!!!
