The weather outside is frightful

Holy howling snowstorm, batman.

The Zoodle and I actually mustered out into it this morning to run errands. Ugh. I am so not prepared for winter - neither mentally nor practically. Must make a hat-and-mitts-and-boots shopping run sometime.

Also, does anyone have suggestions for how the hell to keep mitts on a baby for more than 5 minutes??

Anyway, it is now naptime, and I am curled up on the couch with a Fine Cooking magazine and some chocolate chip cookies with cats lounging around the room. When the baby wakes up we will crack open the new books. One thing to be said for snow is that it makes everything very cozy inside.

Voices of Venus last night, btw, was lovely. amazon_syren was totally right about Luna Allison, who knows how to deliver a punch. I should write more.

Mittens on strings.
They may not stay *on*, but they won't land in the snow, either.

Also: Is there a shirt version of footy-pijamas?

I think some coats have snap-on mitts, but I don't know if they come in baby-size.

Three cheers for cozy!

And, yes, you should write more. ;-) If something comes to you. :-)

We still on for tonight? :-D

Re: tonight - given that forecast calls for another 5-10 cm of snow plus risk of freezing rain, can we do a raincheck? Driving anywhere tonight is going to be hell. Stoopid winter!!

we put wool socks over the sleeves. That worked for Kayla in her first year.

We got all of the wind and barely any of the snow. Been raining all day.

Now what good is that, I ask you?!
