The four seasons are so beautiful here in the Mid-West. (Not that they're not beautiful anywhere else!) We look forward to each and every season...including winter. But it takes a little work to stay warm in the winter.
Going outside to play is not for the faint of heart. It takes an entire wardrobe of outdoor gear to stay warm, lots of hot air to yell through the scarves in order to be heard...by everyone in the neighborhood sometimes, lots of energy to move through all that bulky clothing and you have to be prepared for the occasional snow ball in the face.
When the kids come back inside, the coats, snow pants, hats, gloves, scarves, and boots all need to laid out for the next outdoor adventure. But the best part of coming inside is the hot chocolate. Today I even splurged and made hot chocolate from scratch. I never mind making hot chocolate for the kids if it means a little quiet time all to myself while they are outside playing! :-)
