Recipe: Idyllic Father's Day

Two fathers
Three sons
Five Thomas the Train engines
Tons of blue track
One too few switches
One bridge
One tunnel
Two stations
Five engine sheds
One turntable
Three yellow cupcakes with chocolate icing and sprinkles

Arrive just before youngest son's naptime. Bring train boxes upstairs from the basement. Get every male working on a different segment of track. Mix them all up. Let the engines run. Alter segments of track. Man the switches. Keep the trains from running into each other. Put back on track when necessary. Share cupcakes with the cousins. Pick up the train track and engines. Crash on the couch right after uncle and cousins leave while Mommy fixes supper.
