Hot Wheels

Happy Tax Return to us!

While the majority of our lovely tax return is going to go to paying bills and helping us eventually move, we decided to get a little something for the one who made the majority of it possible.

We bought Tristan a little Hot Wheels race track and a few race cars.  He already has a little bucket full of cars because Nick and I can't resist adding to his collection every once in awhile, but he didn't really have anything to drive them on besides the kitchen floor.  And let's be honest, that's not extremely fun.  So, like I said, since Tristan is part of the reason we get such a nice tax return, we wanted to reward him for it.

And he loves it!  We showed him how to turn on the motor and push the cars through the spinner, and he just giggles his little butt off watching the cars go round and round.  His favorite car is this hideous purple creeper van that came in a set of utility cars we bought him awhile back, but it's too big and heavy to make it around the track.  So he always gets a little sad and goes "awhhhhh" when it falls off. But the rest of them seem to do just fine.

It's fun that he is growing up and learning how to use new things.  And it's a good thing he has a little brother coming because the two of them are going to have a blast playing.  Nick and I remember growing up and playing with race tracks.  I myself had a whole giant tupperware full of hot wheels cars, a car mat and 4 way race track.  It's a good thing I was raised between two brothers because playing with little boy toys is just as fun for me as Tristan and Nick.
