"Why didn't you wear a hat?"

He survived! I didn't think it would happen, but he survived! He survived his first over-nighter camp-out with the 11-year old scouts. While their dad's also attended, he survived...only slightly scathed.

Ryan walks in the door and he is the most wonderful thing in the world at that moment. (I like having him home on the weekends and this past Saturday he was on the camp out.) I then take a closer look and he has the most angry looking sunburn I've seen in a long time. I say, "Wow, you're red!!!!!!!!" and then ask, "Why didn't you wear a hat?" His response was "Yeah" and "I don't know."

Then last night, in the glow of the computer as we work on the dreaded budget, I look at his poor sunburned forehead. I notice that his head now seems to have a texture to it. After a closer inspection, a gasp, a pitying look of sympathy, I inform our not so prepared Eagle scout that he was the proud recipient of a 2nd degree sunburn.

This morning reveled more as throughout the evening and morning he would mess with it. After another look of pity and sympathy, I get over myself and grab the camera.

Here is our scathed scouter sporting his burn with honor.

"Tell me again why you didn't wear a hat?" "I don't know!"

"I will buy you the one you want. No matter the cost. I will buy you one!"

Here are the kiddo's being cute! Like they could be anything else...

Addy chillin' in her bouncer.

Smile for you're daddy!

Since having the flu (by the way, the kids are finally all better now) this is how she prefers falling asleep. Being held, with her pacifier in her mouth and a blanket covering her head. So, silly!

Another famous hair-do by Kyra herself. The gel substitute...milk!

Showin' some leg.
