Snow day play


How to get your kids prepared for playing in the snow (in minutes):

0:00-3:20 locate appropriate under clothing
3:20-4:30 change diaper of little one; ask older one to go potty
4:30-5:00 insist that older one potty while dressing little one
5:00-6:00 physically take older one to bathroom despite his protests that "he doesn't have to" and watch him pee for 30 seconds
6:00-7:00 washing hands (kid is obsessively thorough)
7:00-8:00 snow pants, warm socks, sweatsuit on yourself
8:00-9:50 snow pants and boots on older one
9:50-10:50 find where little one escaped to
10:50-11:50 snowsuit onto little one
11:50-11:54 realize you have no idea where all the gloves are
11:55-13:00 locate gloves
13:00-13:15 put gloves on older one
13:16-13:59 find little one again (you knew; where to look this time)
14:00-15:40 attempt to put gloves on one year old; multiple attempts
15:40- 15:45 desperately want a drink; realize you have to go the bathroom; decide against
15:45-16:00 older one thinks "watching a TV show" might be more fun; subdue desire to curse
16:00-17:00 put hats on everyone
17:00-17:10 take a quick picture
17:11 go outside

for about 5 minutes....before someone is crying

Little turkeys. Drive me crazy but I love 'em.
