Sun and Fun...or shoud I say Trouble!!!

Yea! Today was such perfect weather! Landon had his very first T-ball practice today and he absolutely loved it! He is playing with a few other boys from his Sunbeam class and he is just thrilled! He wore his new "T-ball pants", no they aren't the real thing, I haven't been able to bring myself to buy him tight little white pants, so he wore his new wind pants and yellow "T-ball shirt", nope...not the real thing, much cuter!

Landon, Binnie and I spent the day together outside...pulling weeds, stirring the dirt and bark for our flower patches and eating popsicles! It was so much fun, Landon was in heaven after 3 popsicles, no shoes, and digging in the dirt. It was Binnie's first taste of summer literally...she loves the bark, to eat that is. She's terrified of the grass so she spent her time in the bark. She was so content chewing on bark that she sat there for 3 hours totally content...without sunscreen.

Yes, I am the failure of a mother who totally spaced putting sunscreen on my children...they are absolutely fried! (I really hope my mom isn't reading this, she'd kill me) Binnie has no hair to protect her little head and so her noggin is totally rosey. Landon keeps telling her how burnt she is and how bad it must hurt. I just hope he doesn't look in the mirror! He'd freek if he saw how red he is! I am trying to talk Jay into staying home from church with Binnie, so we'll see how that goes, but I don't think he's going for it.

Anyhow, as we're out in the yard, Landon hears a motorcycle and his little burnt ears begin to perk..."here comes the yellow power ranger mom!" I look up to see a man decked out in a yellow jacket, yellow pants and yellow helmet on a yellow crotch rocket. Landon was speechless! He stood there in awe grinning from ear to ear as he came face to face with his hero...the yellow power ranger! (It was our next door neighbor Kayla's man coming to pick her up for a date, but I with held that info. as not to spoil his excitement) the moment was priceless!

Last laugh...Landon is such a good helper and is so protective of Binnie, so when he turned around to see her with a mouth full of bark, he hustled over to her, picked her up (underneath the arms as we have practiced), and CHUCKED her onto the grass and I mean CHUCKED! She flew through the air and face planted into her hell...the grass!
She wigged out and Landon stood there like the little hero he was. He stood there, proud of his strength and quickness, not even questioning his actions. And, well, I was laughing too hard to even begin to speak let alone explain out how wrong and not ok it is to chuck your little sister. Sometimes it's best to just bury your head and act like you didn't see a thing!

Of course all of this happened on my watch while Jay was on his bike ride. So, I am all to blame, but what an eventful, fun day it was for the kids and I.

These are the days we stick to our motto: WHAT DADDY DOESN'T KNOW...CAN'T GET MOMMY IN TROUBLE!!!
