inevitable

 

this is what they do every year our first day home.

the baskets of track and all of the buildings are carried out from the playroom...

into the living room.

the track winds under the leather ottomans,

around the food stool,

taking over every inch of  carpet.

charlie built it with sam's assistance.

big played with it for hours while little napped.

then little took it over.

the village of sodor will stay intact for a few days

until dinosaurs attack, 

an army invades,

or hot wheels make it a race track.
