The Vacation Effect

Today Veronica started her Thanksgiving vacation and, of course, she and Harrison got up on their own 10 minutes earlier than I normally would wake them up on a school day! For some reason, a day with nothing to do but play is the biggest motivator for getting out of bed there is! Since today's weather was pretty mild, they went outside in the backyard a lot and, of course, kept turning on the water! I had to change Harrison's clothes twice. Veronica wanted to put her swimming suit on, but I had to explain that it was too "cold" for that--even though it was fairly warm! She needs to experience a "real" fall, instead of these "wimpy" Alabama falls. Knowing her, though, she'd still want to put her swimming suit on. I wonder if they have a "junior" Polar Bears group somewhere . . .
