Playing in the Water
We went to our friend Dale’s house on Sat. in WI. We spent almost all day at the beach. It was a blast, really. The kids played in the sand and water, went on the boat, found a crayfish and played with it, and enjoyed the other kids that were also there.
They had so much fun that Drew didn’t get a nap until 3 pm when he usually naps at noon. He wasn’t even cranky!
After the beach we went back to Dale’s for dinner and a bonfire. And of course, S’mores! Yum! The kids played with the chickens, ran around his huge yard, found a frog, and watched the older “kids” (adults) ride dirt bikes around.
Ron and I both have some sun burn. I did put stuff on me a couple times, but I either didn’t get it on well enough, or I didn’t put it on early enough. Sophia doesn’t have ANY sunburn (thank god), but Drew has a three inch band on his lower back and a spot on his shoulder. I know how he got his. See, I usually put the sunscreen on the kids while they are naked. That way I don’t miss any spots. Well, Ron put Drew in his swimsuit, then put the lotion on. While we were at the beach, he took his suit off and only had his swim diaper on. That would be the small band that got burned. Still, it makes me so sad! Fortunately it doesn’t seem to hurt much, so I’m thankful for that. But, this is definitely a lesson for us!!
Last night I brought the kids home late at night (it’s a 2 hour drive) while Ron stayed overnight. I got home, got Drew out of the car, still sleeping, walked to our back door and realized the door was locked!! So I go to the car to get my keys, only to remember that my house key was IN the house!
After making some calls (and having Drew screaming), we drove to my parents to spend the night there. I’ve been so tired all day long. I was tired last night when I got home, then had to get the kids to my parents and in bed, and had to share a bed with Drew. Needless to say, I didn’t sleep well. Then Drew woke up at 5:45 am. OMG!
Ron woke up early and made his way home. We’ve had a rough day with the kids who were also so tired all day. We were hoping an early nap would solve the attitude problem with the kids. No such luck. Sophia refused to nap, and Drew had a short one. It was no surprise to us (okay, a little) that they were in bed, sleeping by 6:45 pm.
Oh, we also learned that we NEED to have a spare key some where on our property. And, if last night hadn’t happened, we would have had a very nice time!
