Yesterday Claire came out of her room with her swimsuit on, and informed us that she wanted to go swimming. I was actually taking my Sunday afternoon nap (when you have church at 8:30 you deserve a nap!!). Chad and I both told her no, but she wouldn't budge. She ended up changing into her dance outfit, but still wanted to go swimming. Chad finally told her that if she stood outside for 5 minutes, he would let her go. Well, she went out to the back porch, and stood in her leotard and little skirt without shoes, crying the whole time about how cold she was. She would not come in. She was determined to stay out there so she could go swimming. We finally decided that we had to let her go, so Chad filled up some tote (not sure where he got it), with cold water, and put it outside. She was thrilled. This is what happened.
Hey this looks fun! I really want to get in.
Hey, this isn't so bad!!! Owen even wanted to get in on the action.
At this point Claire wanted to get out, but Chad made her stay in for a few minutes. He wanted her to realize that yes, it was cold outside, and no, we don't swim when there is snow on the ground.

Hilarious!!! Claire's just like the rest of us....trying to hurry up the warm weather.
Looks like all of you have been really busy. Miss you guys!
Well, next time Claire wants to go swimming, call Emma up. We get in the hot tub all the time...even with snow on the ground. :-)
That's funny. Why is it so fun to torture our kids? :-)
