• Swim Meet

  We had our first swim meet of the year last night. James and Ben did really well for their first competition. We all went to the meet, even JD's mother, sister and brother-in-law. It's really great that they were there, because JD was timing the second half when out of the blue there was a huge clap of thunder and it started pouring. We scrambled to gather our stuff and get the kids to the van. We were all pretty soaked, but it would have been far worse without the extra adult hands! I thought I'd share a humorous conversation while we were there. A friend's son that is eight like my boys was sitting near us. He was eating fun-dip (with evil food coloring in it) and his face was half green. He sees Ben every day but not Tori and Julia, so he pointed at them and said, "So, you adopted two more, huh?" I explained that they had been here just as long as Ben. He then replied, "I can tell they are adopted. You know how? I know that white people can't have black kids. White people don't have chloroform in their skin that black people have. So, white people can't have black kids. What I don't know is if black people can have white kids. That I don't know!" After his speel, I looked at Ben and said, "What do you think, Ben?" Ben said a bit sarcastically, "Well, he's real smart!"

  I have to play catch up today. Catch up on the laundry, shopping and cooking. Fun!
