Dress for Winter!

We had our first snowy day last week when kids needed all their winter gear. What a project, getting 23 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.

Snowpants are a requirement for outside play on the hillside!

They keep kids warm and dry.

Boots are a must, too.


And don't forget hat and mittens!

Hey guys! Looking good!

Putting all this "stuff" on can be quite a project.


It's a lot of work, but check out all of these smiles!
Winter is sooooo much fun!

All ready!


The pictures say it all!
Please be sure to 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!
