Kayson had a "Grandma Day" with my mom and nephew Gabriel that is his age on Tuesday. They went to a park in Alpine to feed the ducks and play on the play ground. Well, being as fair as he is, I slathered him in sunscreen before I sent him off. (It was the one sunny day this week) When my mom brought him home he was bright red! She said she saw him starting to turn red while they were at the park, so she took them to the playland at McDonald's instead. I figured maybe I hadn't put enough sunscreen on him. But the next morning, Kayson woke up and said, 'Daddy, I can't see'. His face was so puffy, his eye was almost shut. He was red and puffy the rest of the day. Long story trying to be not so long, he ended up with dark red, almost purple rough patches on his face, I wish I had remembered to take a picture. The poor kid looked terrible for a couple of days, and I can still see it though it has faded a lot. We finally decided that it couldn't have been a sunburn (oh, he also never complained that it hurt), and think it must have been some sort of reaction to the sunscreen. Since then, my sister has told me that her kids get 'burned' by the spray on sunscreen, especially on their faces! I can't believe I did that to my kid. I will never use that kind again (banana boat kids continuous spray). What a waste of $7!
So as you can see it SNOWED. Go figure. Here it is tax day and mother nature decides winter isn't over. We got more snow april fools and tax day than we did in march. About a foot and half. Th snow was super heavy this storm. It broke trees as big round as 2 feet. It came down a little in the evening and then during the night it dumped. It only took 24 hours to melt away but wow what a storm. I'd been hoping to plant some stuff in the yard, WRONG! Oh well.
