Soccer Camp

Today was the first day of Soccer Camp for the older boys. They had a blast, of course. This is a full-day camp (8:30A-5P). They brought their lunches/snacks, sunscreen, and swim stuff (they will be swimming daily for an afternoon break). DH really tried to remind them last night to drink plenty of water and apply sunscreen often. We've always been glad that the kids all tan so easily. We still put SPF 30 and above sunscreen on them, but it's nice to know that we have that safety net if the sunscreen wears off or doesn't get reapplied. Today was such a day. DS#1 looks very dark, but is a bit red-tinged on his face and arms. DS#2 just looks dark. The weather was sunny and in the 90s today, after all. DH (who doesn't tan so easily) again reminded them to put sunscreen on often. Hopefully, they will both remember to do so tomorrow.

DS#3, on the other hand, looks very "white" right now. I hope he has his siblings' tanning capabilities in the future. He also had a big day today, but not in a good way. Poor baby--he was so irritable after he received three shots at his well-baby checkup today. He is eight weeks today and he is 11 lbs. 4 oz. and 22 3/4 inches long. Apparently, he is at the 50th percentile for weight and length and 25th percentile for head circumference. I caught him at a good moment this evening. He has the most adorable dimples, doesn't he? :)

What a cute grin! Love it. I envy Katy. She has an olive undertone to her skin and darkens up without any effort. Shona has my pasty white skin and we are forever applying sunscreen to her.

Those dimples are the sweetest! DH and I have totally opposite skin tones. He tans very easily and I, well, don't. The kidlets are a mixture.
