Chuck E. Cheese

We went to Chuck E. Cheese for a birthday party today for their friend Darrian, we call him Peanut. They always have fun there, but Ben had a definite plan this time when he was there. He walks around looking on the ground for dropped tickets and tokens. He must have found over ten tickets – which he cashed in one at a time, so we have ten receipts for one each. He also found three tokens. He gets so excited when he finds one!

Greatest Kids!

Alex and Ben are the best kids in the world! Look how cute, and silly they are! This was taken at the Arts Off Broadway before their play practice. They thought it was the funniest thing they had ever see and done. They laughed and laughed.

Game Two!

Game Two! Virginia came with us to watch our game. Alex and Ben are doing such a great job. Alex hit the ball and forgot to run to run to first base. I think she was thinking it was the same as practice and she was just going to hit the ball again. It was so cute. I told her she did a good job; she just rolled her eyes and said, “Silly me, I did not know I was suppose to run!”

Our First School Play Day!

Alex and Ben each had a friend over to play …or friends. We had Abby, Kylie, Karen, and Matt over to play. The boys played Star Wars and the girls played house and Barbie. It was fun for each of them to play what they wanted to with their friends. I never realized how much six kiddos can eat. A box of dinosaur chicken nuggets, a box of gogurts, string cheese, carrots (they all got eaten too) and fruit. That was supposed to last a month! I must admit, it became quite loud when they all went on a musically parade. Thanks again Mom for all those nice and quiet recorders you send in your last box. They work too well!! The girls dressed up and put on a Cinderella play and then a fabulous Sleeping Beauty play. They did a great job and it was super cute. After their last friend had left, and we cleaned up the enormous mess, Alex and Ben asked when their friends could come over again.

Ben got a job!

Ben is becoming quite the enterprising entrepreneur. Today he took the rocks him and Alex had painted and went door to door selling them for a nickel. He made over $4.00 just going to five of the houses in our cul-de-sac. He was so thrilled. He of course had to share his profits with his workers who went door to door with him, Alex and Kiera. He gave each of them a dollar and still made over a two dollar profit. He was ecstatic. It was so fun to watch.

Go Padres

We got swim today with Daddy, Grandma, Aunt Debbie, and Adam. It was so much fun. Decked out in our bright orange Padre hats, we got to go to Petco Park to watch the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants play baseball. It was Adrian Gonzalez Day and we all got a Bobble head toothbrush holder of him. It was so much fun to eat hotdogs and peanuts. Too bad the Padres lost.
