The Peterson Family

Swimming and Dinner with friends part two

A couple weekends ago we decided to head up to the community center to go swimming. We have a family pass, and the kids love it! Amy decided to join us with her family. It was a lot of fun, but for some reason it was kinda chilly in there that day. So we decided to wrap it up and head out for some Rancho Grande (our fav Mexican restaurant). I know this may sound idiotic, after our Chinese dinner fiasco (I forgot to add that Damon turned off the lights to the entire place while I was cleaning up Ryan) but sometimes it takes a while to learn. This time we had 12 people-4 adults-2 pre-teens-and 6 under 6. I can't believe how smoothly it went. That's right I said it went smoothly! The kids all ate dinner and behaved like little adults (minus the 6 trips to the bathroom). As we were boxing up leftovers and paying checks, they brought out complimentary desserts for the kids! Does it get much better than that?

Note to Bapa Bryce....

No more band-aides on foreheads please, I don't care how much they beg!

Bob the Builder

The foster agency Jazmin is place with us through gave us some tickets to see Bob the Builder live at the State theater. Jazmin loved it, Jake hated it, and Ryan liked the second half. Go figure! I think the boys were over tired from playing at their grandparents that day and the night before, so that made a difference I'm sure. I would have gotten more pictures of the kids enjoying the performance, but the camera nazi came and said "no pictures in the theater". I tried to debate the fact that it was intermission, and I only wanted pictures of my kids enjoying their first musical, but she started spouting out "publicity regulations this and publicity regulations that". I should have asked what they were planning to pay us in royalties to use pictures of my kids!

Jacob's hidden talent

Daddy and Me

Joel took the boys to our local ECFE daddy and me class. They usually have some fun project to do. In the past they've built a bird feeder, made kites, and enjoyed messy night. I think that one is self explanatory. This time it was build a tool box, and that they did. They aren't that heavy, but they are pretty big, so Jake had a hard time carrying his. They brought them home and promptly filled them up...with cars.
