Boys and their Toys

Jake has become quite the car man. The obsession began a few months ago when we visited my moms and "borrowed" 4 hot wheel cars from my nephew. Jake loves the cars and plays with them every day. Since them I discovered 2 more cars here at the house that were my nephews in our back closet so he was up to 6 cars. Well within the last week or so we lost half the cars so the kids were constantly fighting over them (Abby loves to take them just to annoy Jake). So, I picked up a 5 pack of cars yesterday at Wal-Mart.
Jake woke up from his nap right on time at 3, but Abby was still sleeping so he got a good half hour of alone time (which he never gets!). I gave him his new shiny cars and he was so excited. I gave him the older cars too, but he threw those in a bucket and continued to play with the new cars.
Abby woke up at 3:30 and so I got her up and let her play with the old cars. She very quickly discovered Jake had new cars and wanted those. The fighting began. I saw him running back and forth from the sideboard to the coffee table and finally stopped to see what he was doing. He lined all the cars up, climbed up on his zebra and started playing (so Abby wouldn't take them). I had to grab a few pics. Too funny!
And yes, Murphy's law applied here too, I found the missing three cars yesterday evening. One was in the car under a seat, one under the dryer and the other buried in the pantry.
