Amongst the Madness....

Amongst all the craziness of B's birthday parties, working, and just life, B decided this year she wanted to PLUNGE. Every year the Police Department plays a big part in the Special Olympics Polar Plunge. B helped me last year sell T-shirts. This year, she wanted in on the action...she wanted to JUMP. (Crazy little girl!) I told her she could do it, if she raised the $25 fee herself. I printed off her form and she took it to school with her. By the end of the day, she had raised the money. She received another last minute donation and her total donation to the Special Olympics was $45!

What a trooper. She didn't even hesitate at the side. She walked right out on the ice and as soon as they said her name, she was straight in. She jumped with our friends' boy named Austin. Me and Kev were standing at the ramp waiting for her to get out. She jumped right out, went around us and made a bee-line for the hot tub. I barely got her out of the hot tub to get dressed! She was so glad she got to jump and she was happy that she was able to raise a bit of money for the Special Olympics. What a fun time!

Just before going in!

Ready, Set, GO!

Burrrrr, and it was COLD that day!

Gettin' out as fast as she could!

Happy Birthday B and Uncle Paul!

B turned 11 on the 18th of February. Lucky little bugger, she got 3 parties out of us because we couldn't fit everything she wanted to do into one day. So, first party was bowling with a few friends. (Of course, I forgot my camera!) Second party, friends over for a movie and some games. And the third party - family party and celebration with Uncle Paul, who shares the same birth date! We had fun. She is spoiled. But in a good way!
