Choo-Choo!

What is a mother to do when she is desperate for entertainment for her kiddos during a hot Phoenix summer?  Have them build a train!

 All it took were a few chairs and some stuffed animal friends!

 The kids played this game three days in a row.

The conductor yelled, "All Aboard!"  When all of the stuffed animals were loaded, we all started "Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga"ing.  Until the conductor put on the breaks with a "screeeech!"  And then it started all over again.  The game was relatively fight free.  Except for the stuffed animals who kept arguing over who got to be the conductor.
