Winter Has Arrived!

We had our first snowy day last week when kids needed all their winter gear. What a project, getting 20 kids ready for outdoor play. And you think your entryway is a mess? Come check out the hallway when everyone is getting ready! I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of the process. It only took about 5 minutes to get eveyone outside, and that time will decrease as eveyone gets better at new zippers, snaps, boot ties, etc.

A one-piece snowsuit is great, but tricky to get into!

Boots are required to play on the hillside.

New snow pants!
Cozy jacket!
New boots!
So much stuff!
Scarves are a great idea for keeping out the chilly wind.
Zippers can be tough.
Pink boots - will they still look that clean in March??
Finally, ready to go!
Don't forget hats and mittens!
Cool gloves!
The pictures say it all!
Please be sure label ALL outerwear, especially snow pants and boots, since many of the children have similar styles. Last year, one mom tied a piece of yarn to the buckle on her son's snow pants, and he never had trouble finding his! The lost and found gets pretty full as the winter progresses, so if your child is missing something, be sure to check there!
