first train set

Our little one was ecstatic to get his first train set. I've never seen him so focused and so quiet for so long.  I love the intense look on his face.

I wonder where this new love of trains will lead.

Are you GREEN?

Paris is in 4th grade. Her class just read about recycling, the benefits of it and how important it is. The girls now collect community recycling for our 204 unit condo community. The community tried a recycling program for a few months by replacing one of the gargabe bins with recycling bins. Unfortunitly the people who's garbage bin was replaced with the recycle bins refused to haul their garbage an extra 7 feet to another garbage bin so the community could enjoy the benefits of having a local drop off.

Paris decided that she needed to take matters into her own hands. Each Monday these two pull the wagon around the community, collect the recycling items, sorted them and then later in the week, we haul everything to the recycling center.
