Today’s high temperature was in the lower 50s. Depending on the wind or sun conditions at any given moment, my kids varied their dress from a t-shirt to a winter coat. Jenny, mainly favoring a winter coat, even came in at one point for mittens. I had to help her put them on. Later, she came through on some errand which required her to remove her mittens, so I had to help her put them on again. She stopped to chat.
“It’s very warm outside, Mommy.”
“Is that why you’re wearing gloves?”
“Well, my hands are cold!”
“Mmmm.”
“But the rest of me’s not cold. {pause} In the sun, it’s maybe even…hot.”
“Mmmm.” I’m wondering where this is going.
“Mommy, do you think we could get out the kiddie pool?”
“Uh, NO.”
I know, I know. I’m such a party pooper.

Ha! We have the same problem around here. I have to put the kiddie pool away in December, when it gets too chilly, but we get a nice day in January, and they want it right back out again.Just kidding! A little, at least. 🙂
bet you’ll be glad to get back to the warmer near south… 🙂
My kids asked for the pool last week, too. It was all of 60 degrees outside. Do they think it turns into a hot tub if I twitch my nose?
Every day that’s above 30 degrees (and I say, ‘wow, it’s kind of warm out today’) Bocker asks if we can go swimming and set up the pool! I told him, “No, we probably have to wait until the ice goes out on the pond and there are no more snow piles around the house.”.
