Snow Play

OK, I just learned a valuable lesson that I feel I have to share. We just got hit with about 6 inches of snow, drifts up to 2 feet. So, we all got decked out in our winter coats, snow pants, layers upon layers of warm clothes to go out so I can shovel the driveway and the kids can play in the snow. I was able to get the whole driveway shoveled, but the kids weren’t ready to come in yet. The lesson to take away from this is: Don’t dress them up quite so warm. You’ve got to find the balance of clothes to temperature that makes them ready to come in once you’ve completed your shoveling. They would still be out there now, except Brandy mentioned getting some hot chocolate, which was just the right amount of motivation they needed to come in.
