On a day when the temperature is this:
Making the chimneys billow white puffy clouds something like this:
And this:
A day when the inside of your nose freezes when you walk outside and you can actually break your hair if it's still wet.
And you are going to spend the day outside snowtubing, which for you non winter people looks something like this:
You might want to dress accordingly, right?
The boys are off school today and so are spending the day with group on a field trip to go snow tubing. It's cold today. As in that -3 temp is not a joke. And no, that is not the windchill.
We woke them up and told them to wear warm shirts, plenty of layers, and to be sure to wear long underwear, too.
As we packed up, we reiterated how cold it was and asked them wear a pair of liner gloves under their gloves.
As they put on shoes, we asked them if they were wearing their ski socks. And better yet, were they wearing two pairs of socks?
And ask Noah walked out the door, he (nicely) carried out the garbage and his lunch. No snowpants. (Are you sensing a theme here in my life?).
When I noticed it as we walked into the school his response was, "You didn't tell me to get my snowpants!!! I didn't know I'd need them!"
Which led me back to the house to find our very on version of "Pants on the Ground."
Which brought me back to school, again, to be sure my child could make it through the day without permanent skin damage.
Noah has been a big fan of the amusing American Idol "Pants on the Ground" sensation, even more so since seeing the video of Brett Favre singing it in the locker room. So here is Noah's own version of the song. (My apologies for the fact that you need to watch it laying down, I shot it on my point and shoot camera without thinking about format.)
P.S. I swear my kids don't always dress in Vikings gear.
