Just Call Me Rudolph


Two days of fun in the sun and I have a distinct resemblance to a certain reindeer.

We blasted straight out of wintery spring right into the height of summer. Of course next week we will be back to cool and wet. But yesterday and today, we caught a glimpse of the future. Yesterday sweetP and I participated in a Relay for Life. We dutifully wore our sunscreen and sweated through two hours of 95 degree heat. We laughed and had a blast. I was the cool mom and he was the cool, fabulous, amazing kid.

We hung out with his best friend. They had to have been separated at birth they act so much alike. They communicate without words, they act alike, they talk alike. They are basically twins. It is hilarious to watch. It is one of those friendships that we all hope stands the test of time.

Today, we hung out at the fire house. SweetE and I sprayed the fire hose and knocked over a traffic cone. He sat in the firetruck and put on the headphones. We watched AirLife land. He dug a hole with a back hoe. SweetP grumbled the whole time because he just wanted it to go home and get ready for his birthday party. If he had his way, he would have spent the entire time watching a nesting bird. It was really cool, but I have no idea what it was. It had it's eggs under a bush. The area was blocked off with caution tape. He stood so quietly and still watching it.

With all of our outdoor adventures, my nose is a lovely shade of red. We forgot sunscreen today at the firehouse. And I forgot to put on any makeup.

At least the birthday party was indoors. The boys played and had a blast and we only had to sign a credit card slip. Tonight, before it was even 8 o'clock, sweetP asked if it was bedtime yet. It was a very busy day.

Yeah! A relay for life, how wonderful. I couldn't believe how much hotter you guys were than we were. I thought my msn.com was malfunctioning.
