Three

Now that Christmas is over I have a month to plan, organize, create, purchase items for Aidens 3rd birthday party. Ekkk!! And with returning to work mid jan my "free" time is limited. (Gonna be swamped)

The present is under control. Since Aiden is a train and car hoarder he needs a spot to play. A table is out of the question bc we have no room.

Game plan. Turn his trundle base into a fun table. We don't need a mattress until its time to move Brody in there so we've got 2 years of play space.

Cost?! Nothing!! I have the paint and train set already. I've started but many more coats to go...I traced the train tracks so it will be easy for him to set it up (like a puzzle). I didn't want to glue or nail them in since eventually there will be a bed in its spot and the boards will be turned over. (The black square is the cars parking lot. haha)

But I can't not get him anything so....listen how awesome I did:
I got a motorized train off eBay for $8 those suckers are like over $20!

The best deal...Disney Cars diecasts. I had planned on getting him 3 new ones bc they are $4 each, but Walmart had them marked down to $1.25!!!! So I got him 6, and 2 extra for their school's Christmas parties next year (They can't spend over $5).

His other 2 gifts were steals too. Got a Buzz Lightyear jacket for half off and his favorite show at the moment is Curious George so a new friend to keep him safe in bed since he says he's "scared" (joking bc he wants to join me in bed).
