Peep Fest

If I was Guillermo or Maya, I would think today was a pretty awesome day.

Soccer, Peeps, Bouncy Castle, McDonalds, Sleepover. 

We started the day at Guillermo's soccer game. He was great. He scored a few times and took the ball away from the other team a lot of times. He even passed. 

Later, I took them to PeepFest hosted by Market Street Books. We arrived in time for the kids to take a swing at the pink bunny pinata. The kids were lined up from shortest to tallest. Maya was first. She didn't complain about the blindfold and even hit the peep a few times. Guillermo was a few people behind her and got the bat on the pinata too. They also participated in the Peep spoon race. Maya and Guillermo were only a quarter of the way through the course when nearly half had already finished. Maya was having fun at first but then a look of panic washed over her face. "It keeps falling off the spoon," she said. One of the race helpers came to her rescue, sort of. The helper put a peep on her spoon and joined Maya. Guillermo did pretty well, but then realized everyone else was finished and he wasn't close. We gave them a reprieve and told them just to eat their peeps. Later, they did some Peep Science, mixing Peeps with Coke, vinegar, baking soda and bubbles. They also found out that if you put a pop snap (is that what they are called?) in a peep and throw them on the ground, the peep will pop! We missed peep jousting, but will try to replicate at home. 

We came home, put up the bouncy castle, they laughed, had fun, Guillermo's friend came over and we took them to McDonalds. Now, this was a special event because we usually only go when we travel, but G was so excited that Happy Meals came with Monsters vs Alien toys so we caved. Guillermo picked Bob with his Happy Meal, his friend picked Insectasorous and Maya got Ginormica. 

Now, I have three sleeping kids at my house. They fell asleep with no fusses, no crying, no complaints. yea!
