Auditioning for Parent of the Year





It is negative 8 degrees right now, with a high for the day of 9. Where is my oldest child? Playing outside. He says if the Green Bay Packers 1976 (I think-have to admit I was only 1/2 listening) can play in negative 56 degrees, he and Brandon can play in negative 8.

I told them they have 3 minutes, then they have to go to school. So it did not make me a popular mom, I also won't have to take the little popsicles to the hospital.

I can't imagine anything less comfortable than playing outside right now, but I am a hunker down in front of the heater with a blanket girl on days like this. Guess our Arizona native's blood has thickened over the past 3 winters...
