Boulder Asian Festival

Sam insists on wearing a pigtail in his hair just like Mae. Funny thing is, he actually has enough hair for it...I can't get one in Ted's no matter how hard I try. Oh well. Ted has stolen Mae's purse and uses it to haul around his favorite tiny toys. I think they both enjoy having 'girl stuff' around the house!

This morning was Jack's bday party at Pump It Up. Sam was a ROCK STAR...he was a little energizer bunny and I didn't have to help him! He has really come into his own, physically, and I'm so proud of him! Ted didn't want cake and about dragged me away, just wanting the goody bag. Maybe Jack had told him of their cool factor, because these were good ones. Batman Pez, gotta love that for the 3-5yo crowd!

After we got home and napped, we decided to go for the last hour of the Boulder Asian Festival. CCAI (our agency) has a booth there so we felt that Asian adoptees were part of the target attendance. There were lots of different booths of Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Indian foods, to name a few. We enjoyed Chinese vegetable steamed buns and Filipino pancit (Lily's mom always had pancit for me when I came over....mmmm...I had missed that! Mae loved it.) The balloon man was there so the boys were outfitted with masks and double swords. Sam got taken out by a skateboard...wham! to the back of the head. It was impressive. The poor young man was so sorry. We got the boys some ice cream and all was well.

What a nice weekend. It was like a mini-vacation rather than a 'let's hit all the stores to get ready for Monday' type of weekend. Ahhh... refreshing.

Sounds like a terrific end-of-summer festival! .. Do you remember the Ginza Festival at the Buddhist Temple in Old Town? .. We used to take you in your stroller and for a few more years. .. It was principally Japanese - lots of teriyaki things - and dancing and martial arts. .. Lots of fun! .. What a super final weekend! .. Mom
