Summer Time

I don't know if summer is officially here based on the calendar, but it is so super hot here that for us I am calling it summer!  We just though we'd start checking things off the Annoying-things-about-summer-list:  

Starting with... 

Bee stings!  O grabbed the drinking fountain and starting screaming.  Turns out she wasn't the only one getting a drink.  This pictures was taken a day after, it just kept getting worse and worse maybe a mild allergic reaction?  I don't know?  It's been a couple of days now and it's finally looking normal.

Sunburns.  Yeah as if this is my first summer with kids.  All three of my girls got a bit of a burn at some point this weekend!  I felt like such an idiot.  They are such whities that even if it's only going to be like thirty minutes on the trampoline (in that spaghetti strap top - that is now permanently burned into S's back) they need to get sprayed down with a little SPF.  And I already know it is not something to be cheap about.  I buy the really expensive kind that sprays on clear (and I don't have to rub) and I dowse them all, head to toe, hair part included.  Jeez I really can't believe they burned.  I am going to be way more on top of it this summer!  No picture because do I really need to document my stupidity?

Cold Green Pool.  It was getting so hot so fast we pulled the winter cover off the pool.  We have never seen it so green.  Seb was sick.  Even when we moved in and the previous owners had given up the summer before it looked better than this!  I though swamp-thing might climb out and any moment.  Seriously I was afraid to be out there when the sun went down.  But with the pump running all night and $200 at the pool store it is all better (color wise).  It is still freezing (think Lake Tahoe)  68 degrees (and that's up from 55).  I'm already sick of vacuuming it and at the same time can't wait to have all the friends over when it's warm enough.  I didn't take a picture because it was that scary!
