Loosing My Mind

Yesterday I had four kids with me due to the fact we had another snow day. The kids were full of energy, and my caffeine was not doing to trick. So I asked myself what could we do that would wear them down and save my sanity? Make them trudge through the snow in the front yard of course! I ransacked the closets and found gear for everyone. It took me over 30 minutes to get everyone ready. I was exhausted and sweaty and we were not even outside yet. The kids had a blast playing on the big pile of snow Todd made in the driveway for them. I fixed boots 50 times, hats a 100 times, gloves 1,000 times, and wiped noses too many times to count and we were out less than an hour. The girls lasted about 30 minutes so we headed in and watched the boys play in the front yard through the window. Rest time went very well and my sanity was saved for a short while!
