Today was a full on "snow day" in Colorado. Even the schools were cancelled. I was real excited to be outside building snowmen, and sledding, and then coming back inside only to burn our tongues on hot chocolate and making forts in the basement out of old sheets and blankets...Instead our day went something like this:
9:00 am home from work
9:10-9:30 read books and play
9:30-9:45 share a bowl of flax seed oatmeal and Mama drinks coffee (coffee is the sweet, sweet nectar of life, not enough in the world for me this morning to keep my eyeballs open)
9:45-10:30 tickle time, and begin to gather snow equipment for playing outside.
10:30-10:42 chase Alex around the house attempting to put on socks and boots for outside activities
10:43-10:48 wrestle Alex into hoodie and snowsuit
10:49 OH CRAP, FORGOT TO PUT MITTENS ON BEFORE SNOWSUIT
10:50-10:55 take off snowsuit, put mittens on, then snowsuit
10:56-11:03 Alex sweats bullets and cries while Mama gets into her winter gear
11:04-11:06 Put a crying, screaming Alex into sled, because, DAMMIT, this is gonna be fun
11:07-11:09 Alex is moderately happy being pulled around in 2 feet of snow, Mama is dripping sweat and desperately needs more coffee
11:10-11:13 ALEX IS NOT HAPPY. WANTS TO GO INSIDE. IMMEDIATELY.
11:14-11:18 Go inside, take off snow suits
11:19-11:29 Lay in bed with a bottle, turn on Madagascar, and we both take a nice long sleep...sleep....sleep
1:00 Wake up from nap and make mac' n' cheese
Summary:
It took 36 minutes to get ready to go outside.
We "played" outside for 8 minutes, 8 very long minutes.
