So after my many hours of lecture before DD left for Florida, she completely ignored my Sunscreen Lecture!

Day before yesterday here and bff went to the beach. Not only did they not use sunscreen, they took baby oil! What a bunch of idiots!!!!!!!!!!!! They thought the baby oil would make them brown nicely. Yep, 2 albino white girls fresh from a winter in Washington think they can lay on the Florida beach slathered in oil! So today my sister had to take DD to urgent care because her face was blistering. They gave her a prescription for Prednisone and told her what type of sunscreen to use. AND being the wonderful mother that I am, I made her pay the $132 urgent care bill from her spending money! Our insurance will reimburse us for all but $15. However, I felt having to spend her own money on something that we warned her about might serve as a reminder to listen to us the next time!

It's nothing too serious, but just enough to be very uncomfortable. The doctor told them to avoid water parks tomorrow, but going to a regular theme park would be ok. So tomorrow they will go to Seaworld, use their sunscreen every 2 hours, along with the new hats they bought! Sunday he said would be ok to go to the waterpark as long as the blisters are gone by then and they are peeling. They just have to apply new sunscreen every time they get out of the water and wear hats.

Ohhhhh noooooo!

Bet she won't do THAT again!

I remember when I was around 5th grade I went to a friend's house. They'd just returned from a ski trip, and it was a very sunny day. He was red, his brother was beet red, and their sister had these gross blisters all over her face!!!

Nobody's showed up to distract me from making dinner. Darn it!
So off I go.

See ya later, gators!

But of course! Life with two little boys is never dull!

Actually, we had lunch with the Staleys at Rainforest Cafe in Tukwila today. I wanted to get a Safari membership, and apparently you have to get that in person. So I told the boys it was a special treat for them, and asked Staley if they'd like to join us. And they did!

They were already waiting for us when we got there, and she was smart enough to get her kids some little toys to play with, so all the kids played with them while we waited for the food.

And at the end of lunch she ordered a volcano. OMG!!! Big blobs of vanilla ice cream covered with big slabs of brownies, topped with a sparkler! I've never seen anything like it!!!

The kids were sooooo impressed, though DS3 was a little freaked out by the "Fire, Mama!"

It's so good to be home!!

I've been working OT this week. Yesterday I worked almost 2 hrs OT and today I stayed only 30 minutes later. My cousin are coming over for dinner soon and then I'm going to head over to the mall. Catch ya guys later!!

 

[staley7580]

Booo no one is here! The volcano WAS tasty, wasnt it?

My kids are just wiped out! I sense an early night for them... They have been playing with their new toys all evening, and are now chilling in their room reading. Well.. Alex is reading, Mikalah is crawling all over him.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

It was awesome! And impressive! DS7 was telling Daddy all about it, and DS3 is making that YIKES! face, it was hilarious!!!

How funny! That is cool! We should totally do that more often. I was SO surprised that Mikalah just just walked into that place. I was SURE that she was going to scream and cry the whole way in there!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Safety in numbers, that's the trick! Smart girl.

 

[staley7580]

Safety in numbers, that's the trick! Smart girl.

I know! I was so hoping that when you guys got there, she would be so distracted that she wouldnt even notice that we were going in. Then that stupid hostess had to stop and talk to that guy for so long... Hello!! There is a REASON I AM RUSHING YOU!! I dont think the food is that great.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

Oh, I meant to ask you. Was the crab cake that puffball? And is that what it typically tastes like? It was OK, not a big thrill for me.

 

[staley7580]

Yeah... that was the crab cake. and NO it wasnt very good. It is generally along those lines. Crab meat... bread crumbs, salt and pepper.. Mayo. Im sure other stuff goes into it, but I have had FAR better.

Hi Hyenas!

I have no clue what has been going on lately, but that is OK for now.

What I do what to know, from you Megan.........are you still going on the VIP Tour? I know that you are kind of thinking dropping out, and I was wondering why?

Howdy Hyenas!! Done with our movie. DS picked out Cheaper by the Dozen 2. I hadn't watched it before, it's kind of a cute movie. Anyway, I just had him doing a load of laundry (train em young!), noticed his fingernails were longer than mine, cut them and then sent him in to take a shower (oh and use some soap and a wash cloth this time!). Little boys can get so grungy!

hey melody! I dont know... I am just not all that interested in cruising through the park for 4 hours in a gaggle of women. Especially when it is supposed to be so crowded. it just doesnt sound all that appealing to me. I am going to give it til Sunday to decide.

Didn't Lesley PM you today about it?

Hey!! I'm going to be part of that gaggle of women!!!

I can see your point. I would much rather be cruising through the park dragging a couple of screaming kids than a gaggle of women.

Yeah, we ran the boys through the shower tonight, too. DS7 is soooo resistant to showering. I don't get it, he SMELLS like musty little boy, why does he not want to shower???

DS3, on the other hand, loves to play in the shower, so he's constantly trying to sneak in when one of us is in there.

Hello Girlses! I've been sitting here debating the Ladies Only Trip. Will I feel good enough, should I push myself, will I have fun going to DL and not doing the rides I love? Decisions, decisions!
