out on the town

We are learning that we will need to adapt or give up our kid's "schedules" at times...

Last night we had our prayer service at church at 5 pm and afterwards we had been invited by Antonio and Leti to join them at another church where their friends attended. We decided to go, and enjoyed the service. Afterwards, it being 9 pm, we were going to go home and get the kids to bed (Carter was quite the bear from having to wake up from his nap and try and sit nicely through 2 services but it ended up he needed to run around and let some energy out...). Antonio and Leti said though that they were headed to the friends house for supper to celebrate her birthday and invited us along.

So off we went. I should note - supper here is normally eaten around 8 pm or later. Lunch is also later, around 1 or 2 pm. It's something we will have to get used to but the kids have been great with staying out late and so they're pretty flexible which helps a lot.

We had a great time there meeting their friends, plus the pastor of the church we had visited. Earlier in the evening we also met the pastor of another church in Delicias which is good to have so we can make connections with him at some point. Carter ran around with other kids and Logan was held all evening by everyone.

as we were leaving in the evening...Carter started playing with a puppy. There were 4 dogs there, and they all happened to be white. Carter has been telling us lately he wants a white dog in his home. Since we didn't say no we didn't want one, or Dallas says I didn't give a negative impression...Joel offered to ask his brother, who owned the dog, if we could have it :-) we shall see......

We FINALLY have kitchen cupboards so I can put stuff away and actually COOK and use my stuff again. It was such a thrill unpacking my gorgeous yellow dishes again... ahhh
