Our el cheapo mom


About a month ago, our mom noticed that that when we were setting up our train tracks, we were always running out of track pieces before we could make a train track long enough to leave the play room. On the day that she decided that she was going to splurge and find some tracks on Kijiji, she actually found this train table and accessories for $60. Second hand tracks tend to run at $1 per piece, so this set of tracks, trains AND a table was a great deal. The only downside was that the set didn't come with a map to show us how to set up the tracks. She jumped anyway, and sent Daddy on a wild goose chase that night. 

Here's the end result. It's been a month since the table entered the house. Yesterday Mom found the same table and track on Kijiji for significantly more, $100. This table, however, had a picture of the tracks set up. As of this evening, we have our tracks set up the way they were supposed to be. Thanks Mom! 

Love from Emily, Sophie and Kate.
