my life as a vampire

me sunbathingIt is proving to be quite challenging to stay out of sunlight. I have chores to do outside that I have to schedule at dusk or early morning so I don’t get all burned up. I mowed the grass at 7:30 last night and planted some mammoth sunflowers with Van and Viv. I brought the kids over to swim with my sister and her kids yesterday. I was literally 5 minutes in the sun talking to my little sis and she remarked my head was turning pink already.

The kids battled me a bit returning to their bedrooms, but I eventually won out. We have an agreement that they can sleep in Daddy’s bed on the weekends, but during the week, we all need our own beds. I read Olivia Helps With Christmas (thanks again to Liv for that nice gift) to Viv and Van and I took turns reading pages of The Ghosts in the Cellar.

I worked until 1am last night on the Lifecycle project and installing some WP plug-ins for the CurtainRodsBlog. I’m pretty tired, but this is the tail end for a couple of these projects. I need to get back on ZeroPercentCards ASAP too.

These pictures were taken this morning at 8am… I don’t know where these kids get this from. ;-)


And Mr. E is warming up to the kiddos…

    Do they have protection 100 sunscreen yet?

    My ten am on Saturday, it was 94 degrees outside! I’m already sick of summer.

    Of course, I probably wouldn’t be saying that if I wasn’t peeling on 80% of my body. I should own stock in aloe lotion.

    We’ve had so much rain here I’ve forgotten what the sun actually looks or feels like…

  5.  Great/Greta Says:

    Yeah really, there is sun??

  6.  SQT Says:

    Dude, get some stronger sunblock. We hit 100+ yesterday. Sucks.

    That vagina video is funny. I would never have thought to try that.

  7.  Catizhere Says:

    But, by tomorrow, “they” say it’s only going to be 88 (ONLY!) degrees

    I love the heat, love the sun, the beach, anything summer-related. but dude? heat index of 105?
    Yep, stick a fork in me, I’m done.

    My idiot husband went fishing yesterday. No hat, tank top with 15 sunblock. Now he has the balls to whine & cry to me that his shoulders hurt.

    It does look like you are having fun. My guess is that you’ll be in the sun soon enough. How’s the back? I hope you are well.

    that liv is bad people. do not ever say otherwise.

    Dude, they have these things now called HATS. You put them on your head and they protect your scalp from the sun’s burning rays. Check it out – you might find they help.

    great to see your future stars are enjoying the equipment. You must be psyched to have them around again.

  15.  Bud Buckley Says:

    Sunscreen. Often! Kids in bed? Not something I ever put up with but I understand. Just enjoy every minute!

  16.  lime Says:

    you need a vat of sunblock to dip yourself in every morning!

    that picture of viv at the organ is FABULOUS!!!!! oh man that put a huge smile on my face. thanks.

    Wish I’d had such an inspiring and devoted Dad.

    Really, my father was always busy working – I grew up surrounded by women.

    Hey brother…I’m REALLY glad that your kids are there with you right now.

    Seriously.

    Like in a mushy kinda serious way.

    And to lighten the mood, my scrotum burned like that at a festival one time.

    Not really, but I thought it sounded edgy.
