Thomas's Fortress aka "His Room"

Thomas is famous for one thing, his VHS tapes! Yes that's right, VHS, most people know what they are, but to Thomas they are treasures! VHS tapes are becoming harder and harder to find, especially since no stores carry them anymore (by stores I mean..Target, Walmart, etc.) So where do we find them?? Thrift stores and online via Amazon or Ebay mainly! We gladly collect all Barney's, Wiggles, Teletubies, The Big Comfy Couch's, Land of The Lost, and The Dukes of Hazzard's. So if you have any you'd like to clean out of the attic or in your kid's stash, please let us know! 

As you can see below, Thomas has lots and lots of VHS tapes, of which he keeps in a cabinet under his TV. Sad thing is that this is only a small portion of his "stash!" He has tapes at my house, the garage, and in storage boxes! Plus we are constantly ordering more, due to the breaking of some or the overuse of others. 

VHS players are also becoming more and more scarce, but thrift stores make up for that :) 
He even has multiple VHS tape re-winders, collectors items really, since the VHS players actually play and rewind too! 

Thomas's room, as you can see, is pretty simple, yet describes him completely! He loves angry birds, thus the angry birds bedding! And he has a Slee-Stak poster from the 70's show, The Land of The Lost, one of his favorite shows! Plus cannot forget his artwork above his head-board too! He's proud of it as we are!

Thomas is a simple man to please, he loves his VHS tapes, and blares them loud and proud for all to hear! Trust me I know, I can quote and sing all of his tapes, and that is no joke :) Sometimes others in the house, can be heard singing along to the tape he is playing at that moment! Also there are times when I open up his door and start dancing and singing along to the tape too! He usually smiles and probably is thinking what is my crazy sister doing now?! But I know he still loves me so all is good :)
