Imagination [train] Station

Some days, the kids play so very well together that I'm certain they don't even need me there to supervise. This was one of those fabulous mornings. I was finishing some laundry upstairs and they were really quiet. When I came down to check on them, I found them engaged in a super-fun imaginary adventure that included a train ride to the circus. When I asked what they were doing, Allie said, "We're riding a choo-choo-rain to the circus!"
Allie kept referring to Zachary as "Engine" (instead of conductor) and continuously made requests for snacks, reading material, seat-switching, etc...to which he immediately obliged and served her with exceptional zeal!
Except when it was time for him to "drive" the train, as pictured below. He's yelling, "chugga lugga choo-choo!"

Pictured below, Mr. "Engine" is doing his very best to appease a disgruntled passenger. Apparently, she'd requested a peanut-butter & jelly sandwich, not a turkey sandwich (seriously, that was the real argument).

When she requested a seat change, she wasn't upset that her new seat gave her absolutely no leg room. As long as she had her reading material, she was happy.

In the picture above, behind Allie, you can see Raccoon & a bird, enjoying their fruit. And below, Allie's baby doll Abigail is enjoying her "hot soup and iced tea."

And of course, Panda found himself as the caboose, and was spoiled rotten with a lot of ice cream.

When I asked if I could ride the train, I was told that there weren't any seats left, but if I wanted to sweep (the carpet floors with a broom), I could.
Which I did.
Also with zeal.
