Ahhh, Winter

I know that I've been telling a lot of Anna stories lately, but she must be at a good age for funny comments. And, this story is sure to pour salt on the wintry wounds of my northern friends...sorry.

This morning, I told the girls it was time to get dressed. We had an important item on our agenda...the donut store. Anna started whining (what's new?) and stomped her foot. She shouted, "That's IT! I'm done! Take me to the beach. I'm tired of being cold!"

I said, "Honey, the beach is just as cold as it is here. (Yes, Heidi, she was cold and it was in the 50s.) It's winter. God gave us four seasons to enjoy, and the beach is something we get to enjoy in the summer." That did nothing to convince her.

"Well, just take me to an island somewhere."

Sheesh. I never know what she'll demand next...a trip to Disney, a chihuahua, her own private island...

Don't you wish we all had Anna's ideas in her head? She's always just "wishing and hoping" and I love it!!

I'm with Anna - I have been very cold this week and I'm ready for my tropical island!

Kimberly said...

Whoo Hoo...you go Anna girl. If you get to go to an island, make sure to take me with you!

Lauren said...

That girl is going to be T-R-O-U-B-L-E! She is your little diva, for sure!

Well, if Esme has her own private island, why can't Anna have one?

Katie said...

Cheryl--my thoughts EXACTLY.

I'll take Anna on vacation--if she's a beach girl, she's my kind of girl...especially since Brady's not too fond of the beach (yet!)!
