May 12, 2010: Seafood Lovers

Oops...this is one of those posts that ended up completely out of order when I tried reposting things. It is actually from May 12, 2010:

Thanks Onyx Phynix, Maggie, Marythemom & Tudu with your help on what to do with a couple of boys for a day!

I did get a chance to talk to their foster mom. First, she cleared up something that I was a little confused about. It WILL be overnight. SW H said just Saturday, which didn't make any sense [why not just get a babysitter?]. So it will be Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. Poor boys. I warned her that they would be sleeping in a ridiculously girly room. Also asked that she send them with some sort of accessories...unless they like playing with Barbies!

The boys are "Joshua," 13 & "David," 8. They love skateboarding, so she suggested taking them to a skatepark. That works for me, provided the weather will remain nice. I requested that she PLEASE send them with protective gear. The hospital is across the road, but let's try to avoid that scenario.

I asked what they like to eat. Apparently, they love seafood, like lobster and crabs. Um, ok, that's nice. What do they like that I can afford? lol. No, I'm not taking them to R*d Lobster. Later in the conversation, she mentioned that they think fast food is a treat. Now that's more down my alley.

Foster mom hasn't had these two for very long. She is just going to a party and her bio child is going to a sleepover. She says they are good kids. Only rule is that they have to keep their pants pulled up. Good to know...didn't know that would be on the list, but ok. LOL. I'll have to let ya'll know how this goes.
