Bad Mommy

We had a day trip to the beach last week for my friend Cindy’s birthday. It was our family, the Chlarson family, Joni and her boys, and Lex and Barb. So, I was so busy chatting and soaking up the sun that I neglected to put sunscreen on my kids until lunchtime. Skyler and Gavin fared fine. They are little tan boys–little brown beans (as Joni would put it). Brennan pinked up a little on his face and shoulders. Hunter, who is my redheaded, freckled guy didn’t come out so well.

His right arm looks like it’s had a 1st degree burn, and it is definitely going to scar a large area of his arm. I took pictures of it after the blisters started popping 2 days after. (Actually, they were helped along by Skyler who purposely twisted his brother’s arm to hurt him since he knew Hunter’s sunburn hurt. He was punished severely too.) The 2nd picture is from this morning–5 full days after our trip. It has crusted over like a scab and most of the pus is gone. Every time I look at him I get a twinge of guilt. But I think I’ve learned my lesson. I’ll NEVER forget to sunscreen them again!

Oh yes, and Brennan had his 2nd haircut. He looks so much older! He’ll be 1 on July 9th. I’ll post pictures later since he’s sleeping right now.
