"Are your kids adopted?"

Pete gets this question occasionally, most recently about 2 weeks ago. We were at the mall and I had left them in the playarea to use the bathroom. A lady who had adopted 2 children from Guatemala thought Pete had adopted Peter & Kiersten from Guatemala too! Poor Pete has to work on his tan since he is 1/2 mexican (and 1/2 German). The kids & I are already naturally tan, but the sun has really given us more color! Its funny b/c the kids do look like Pete too if you take the time to look past the color of their skin. It always makes me laugh when he gets asked that question b/c of course, I'm never around when he is asked.
