I do my outside times from 9:00-11:00 unless we're at a park and we eat lunch there and straight to bed when they get home. And we go outside again at 4:45ish until parents arrive, both times for me work where the sun doesn't hit my backyard so it's not so bad. Plus after being in our playroom (basement) we like to warm up! It's so cold down there.....and I've taped off the air vents! They now wear sock when we're down there! lol
