I agree ~ I love my outside time and not going to miss it ~ I have a clear policy about what is expected to be here and if parents have not sent the proper clothing for the season they get one 'freebie' reminder and next day they get asked if they have everything needed and than get turned away at the front door to go get it and come back if they forgot again!

In meantime I have put MY SOCKS on children if need be to keep their hands warm and have put my spouses wool socks over shoes and a plastic bag over it all with a twist tie to keep feet warm when boots were forgotten ... it might not look pretty but it does the JOB and IMO it is not fair to the child to suffer because the parent 'lack of planning' and it is also not fair for the entire group to miss outdoor time when their parents DID provide what was needed ... also agree with the other ladies if the kid ends up with 'frostbite' fingers or toes WE are still LIABLE even though the parent is the one who forgot their stuff because we 'chose to take them out anyway'.
