Well, truth be told we didn't PLUNGE in, but we did get wet and splash and have a marvelous hour playing in the pool today, for our advent activity. Call us wimps (it was 82 degrees) - but we had a blast! *note-pools in Texas are not heated. We wore hats, for a winter effect :)
Okay, now don't laugh too hard. Long before she was born, I got this little vintage swim cap for like $3 on clearance thinking it would be fun for some pictures one day. Well...it looks kinda silly on, but since it's 0-6m size I figured this might be my last chance for any pics. And since we were Polar-Bear-Plunging today, I thought, why not? She doesn't have hardly a lick of hair, I won't dunk her under today, it's warm and we're pretending to be Polar Bears...nothing really makes sense and we're a bunch of sillies anyway, so why not bring the silly swim cap? And there ya go. Her brother and sister really liked her "flower hat" I couldn't decide if it was cute or just crazy, either way - the bebe is cute and there's no doubt about that. And she seemed pretty happy wearing it, so win - win :)
In fact, we were all happy. It was a lovely afternoon. We went home, turned on the A/C and made some hot chocolate with peppermint ice-cream, one of our favorite winter treats. I think these advent activities are just as much for me as they are for the kids. It's fun to look forward to each day! I can't promise pictures every day, but a handful here and there will do fine to document our new adventures and new traditions.
