It’s funny how little things – and they really are little – make us feel so guilty. In the grand sceme of things, no boots and gloves on the first snowfall really isn’t that bad. It’s not like we’re starving our kids or anything, right? 🙂

My kids went to school (and daycare) without boots also. In my defense… ok, there is none. I just haven’t pulled them out of the depths of the closet in the kids’ room. It is a VERY big closet. I did at least carry my youngest to the car so he didn’t have to walk through the snow. Does that count for anything?
I’m very sad to say that that isn’t even what qualifies me for Mother of the week/month/year award recently. Maybe I’ll work up the gumption to post about that next week.

You should definitely visit in the summer then. Can’t beat summer in Maine! That’s why we endure the winters! With a good pair of boots and gloves. 🙂

That they are, Jenn! It is only November. 🙂

I always snickered when I saw those kids get off the bus in shorts when it was cold out. Then, I realized the moms totally didn’t know. Sneaky kids! I’m sure that will happen to me in the future.

We’re so hard on ourselves aren’t we? Happy to hear others can relate!

Thanks, Patty!
Living in Maine, boots and snowsuits are pretty much a requirement no matter what. I’ve actually thought about buying my own snowsuit so I don’t get my pants so wet trudging through all the snow in Jan/Feb. So, it’s sort of a “duh” moment too. 🙂

We’ve got enough things on our mind, right?!

My mom is the same way! I clearly didn’t inherit this trait from her, though my sister did. I hate buying things ahead of time because I’m always afraid clothes or shoes won’t fit when I need them. I so should have bought boots by now for the boys though. Oops!

We’ve never been. We’re softy-on-harsh-weather Californians… so if we went, it should be interesting. And I walk the same club as you… I’m Mother of the Year almost everyday!
