Winter Blues

The morning after all of the Christmas Festivities died down, Avery woke Mommy up with a hand-written list.  It said:

Spring and Summer Fun List
1. Get a blow up pool and play in the backyard ...with friends
2. Go see bluebonnets ...with friends
3. Go on a family picnic
4. Go to the pool ...with friends
5. Get ice cream ....with friends
6. Girl party at our house (have friends over all at once)

Mom told Avery that we still have two months of winter left.  Crushing.  But to make the winter break special, Mom and Dad offered to take Avery and me to different locations to spend time together (and apart from each other).  I told Dad, "I'm going with you!  Let's get ice cream and play at the park!  Because is it summer yet?"  Nevermind the cold and the drizzle of the past few weeks, a girl can dream, can't she?

In an effort to ease the Winter Blues, Nana and D heated their pool.  For an hour, Avery and I splashed and played as if it was summer.   The 50 degree weather can't get us down!

It may not be spring yet, but we're all dreaming warm, sunshiney dreams over here in the McClinton home.
