I hold absolutely no responsibility in their being outside, in the snow, in short sleeves, jumping on the trampoline (and Ryan without socks on) They refused to come in when I found them outside. I left them, thinking that they would come in soon, as it was....snowing.....and FREEZING.
They didn't....so instead of putting my coat, hat, gloves, snow pants and boots on to go out and fetch them....I fetched the camera instead :)
By the time they did come in....Ryan's hands were in the early stages of frost bite :) and he started crying that he was in fact freezing.
They took a bath and are now warm and dressed....and quietly watching Word World so's that I can type this.
Ryan has since repeatedly reminded me that you wear coats, gloves and boots in the snow. :)
Update on Want Read Wear and Need !
We've decided on the Want coming from Santa. The rest will come from us. We've already talked about them getting one thing from Santa, so they're already prepared.
We'll explain the Read Wear and Need on Christmas eve.
As for sibling gifts....we drew names. They will each have a small amount to purchase a small gift for the person that they drew.
I still think it's going to be a LOT. We'll see.
It's starting to feel like Christmas. The snow helps.
Now....PLEASE let there be snow for Christmas.
12 more days.
