marble surprise!

Isaiah and Levi received a huge marble track set for Christmas (from my sister - she gives good gifts! 2 posts in a row!). This set came with instructions on how to make three different tracks.  Since seeing the instructions on Christmas Isaiah had been really, really wanting to make them and we finally had a chance one naptime.  Isaiah and I worked and worked to make sure we got things just right (the directions were just a big confusing black and white picture - not easy to follow at all!).  But after quite awhile - we did it!  We picked the biggest track using just about all of the pieces.  Shortly after we got it together Levi woke up and was surprised at our creation.  I love the pictures of Levi because it is totally him right now - shorts, no shirt, a tattoo on his arm, blanky in hand and a random stuffed toy with him (he has not attached himself to any one specific toy but will often want to sleep with one - this one is his soldier bear that sings "I'm Proud to be an American", but he also likes a beanie baby dog and rabbit, a cute little lamb that Grandma Michele sent for Titus, along with a few others I can't think of right now).  We did keep this track set up for a few days but then it got knocked over so we ended up doing the other two when that happened.  What fun!
