Little ones outside

[cfred]

I have no idea. Winter bites! In my new neighbourhood, people shovel their sidewalks poorly. There's not enough snow to pull a sled, but too much to push a stroller through. The snow in my back yard is half way to my knees, so the kids can't even walk. I live in a townhouse, so our postage stamp really doesn't lend well to sled rides. I spent 20 minutes of sheer torture and sweat wrestling my all under 2 group into their snowsuits, boots and mittens....oh those freakin' mittens! Within 5 minutes of getting outside and plunking them in the snow, half of them were crying. I calmed them down, then we spent another 5 minutes looking at each other as I attempted to make snowballs interesting. Then my nephew lifted his arms and said 'done?'. Yup, DONE! I promised them that we wouldn't do that again until next winter when they're taller. Their parents all agreed.

Is it April yet?

It makes me think of the principal in Thomas' Snowsuit - in Arizona where no one ever wears a snowsuit
