And once again, ladies and gentlemen--

The Mother of the Year Award goes to... (drumroll)

GWENN MANGINE!

It's been mad nice outside this week (thanks to global warming, as was pointed out by my sister Gretchen.) So today the kids and I played outside for probably 3 hours. We played on the swingset, worked on our T-ball hitting, base-running, rode bikes, rode scooters, chalked up the driveway-- the whole nine yards.

Here's Josiah having a ball swinging:And then here's Josiah this evening:
At first when I saw him after nap I thought, "Wow, he must have a high fever, he's really red."
So I felt his forehead and he was cool. I thought, "Maybe he's having a reaction to the antibiotics"... and then I remembered the three hours outside, sans sunscreen.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I let my eight month old son get a sunburn. I am now cursing that darn global warming I was so thankful for earlier in the day.
