Unless you have been under a rock this week, you know that weather all over the country is completely koo-koo. Here in Central Florida we had a wind chill factor of 16 degrees last night. Seriously, that is not a typo! The worst part is that for us Floridians we can somehow manage to survive the cold, but it's just really, really uncomfortable. We don't have all the "stuff" you need make it bearable. Things like heavy coats, gloves, space heaters, pants, regular shoes, etc. I don't actually own one long-sleeve shirt. Not one. We got a call from Cindy's school on Monday letting us know that because of the cold weather the kids would be allowed to wear jeans all week long. (Normally, they can only wear jeans on Fridays and you have to pay a dollar. It's a charter school, what can I say?) This of course was not necessarily good news. Thanks to a genetic defect passed on to her by her father, Cindy HATES wearing jeans. She pretty much won't wear them no matter what. So this very cold week, was just going to get even more uncomfortable. Just great.
But, have miracles ceased in modern times? I say unto you, Nay! For behold my child as she departed for school on Tuesday morning:
She wore the jeans! I couldn't believe it. And is that a smile on her face? Apparently the freezing cold weather did, in fact, reach Hades.

Maybe it's a warm-weather thing... or maybe they just want to be comfortable. But Avalon hates jeans, too. She likes shorts. I can get her to wear those elastic-waist jean wanna-bees sometimes, though. Her fashion-conscious father loves that!
