spf 48 and hats for Lauren

Poor Poor Lauren Elizabeth.......she inherited the dreaded pale complexion. We have to smother her in sun lotion and force her to keep a hat on. The other day while I was at work, Dave was outside working and he had the kids out with him. Lauren had on pants and a long sleeve shirt and Emma had on shorts and a tank top. (Luckily it was too hot). Dave told me that he didn't feel like smothering Lauren in the sun lotion so he just covered all her skin. :)

Anyway, we are thankful for nice weather. Emma has made new friends with all of the neighbors and their dogs. Last weekend Dave and I spent HOURS staining the deck and our neighbor behind us is fairly new. She is a young gal (probably in her 20's) and has two boxers that Emma adores. Anyway, her dad must have been over and as soon as he walked out their back door we heard Emma say, "hi Mark, how are you?" Of course Dave and I stopped and listened and sure enough "Mark" answered, "hi Emma." OK.....I know I have covered the whole stranger danger about a million times but I guess a million and one wouldn't hurt. Dave and I laughed SSOO hard. The other day I heard Emma tell the neighbor that "my dad is 38 and he's older than my mom.....she's only 32." BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

Of course they say they don't mind talking to her (or rather listening to her talk) but how annoying sometimes. She even has conned the neighbor's boyfriend to letting her throw the toys to the dogs.

Not much new. We are shooting for next week to putting this house up on the market. I had no idea it was so much work and it's not like our house is in shambles.

OK, I just realized I haven't downloaded the pictures from my camera that go with this entry. AND since I am completely honest....I am too tired and they will just have to wait. (actually, I don't have enough battery power and I'm not staying up to charge the batteries.)
