Oh we good - high 20s very low 30s. Rather nice. (He says inside with his aircon on).
We went for a hike and pretended we were Nims doing all the summits. One summit was a (kids) ski hill. Iâm in the worst shape of my life and calling in sick to yoga.
Also not sure if my kidâs boots suck or if he just is too tiny for winter
Donât worry, under the lightweight danish winter coat he has a Merino wool body suit, a teddy bear sweater, sweatpants and a Merino wool long underwear top. Thermal kombi socks.
Went on a ski trip this past weekend. Puglet and I only spent about 30 mins outside each day. It was soooo cold
. This week is not looking too good for outside activities but hopefully can manage a bundled up walk or something.
Total outside time this year = 2.25 hours
Mr Pug took Puglet out for an hour and a half long walk today. I unfortunately was working 
Total outside time = 3.75 hours
Spent an hour out in a blizzard. Puglet had to encouraged to come inside with some hot chocolate.
Total outside time = 4.75 hrs
We went sliding (no skates) on the local stormwater pond. It was -10 and I was opposed to exiting the carâŚbut I exited and I loved it! Just the three of us, magical and so fun.
Managed to glide a little bit when he was holding an adult. My only fall was trying to climb the snowbank back to the car⌠And I love love love skating. It felt like a Canadian postcard. Iâd say for my adult life, 1/2 the time Iâve lived ten km too far south for free skating to be smart. And a lot of the time without people who would want to do this kind of adventure. Now Iâve tralled 2.5 people into a future where we get to do amazing stuff like this.
Yesterday at 6F we did 30 min walk with full snowsuit. Today at 20F it was 80 min walk with coat and fleece pants. If winter was more like today all the time, Iâd get out a lot more.
Took Puglet sledding for my lunch break, wfh has its perks. I got knocked on my butt by someone flying down the mountain. Iâm ok and the baby seems to be fine (kicking like usual). Thanks god they didnât hit me head on.
Total outside time 2022 = 5.5 hrs
Glad you and baby are okay!
Larva and I went back out with friends after nap and she got to go on the tiniest sledding hill and had fun. Didnât really keep track of time, but between that and the earlier walk it probably ended up being 2 hours yesterday.
Buy Nothing toy pickup with the tot. Took 30 min to go less than 0.5 mi round trip lol. And we got rained on multiple times. But, she walked the whole way, no tripping or tears, and Iâll count that all as a win. Since this mornings attempted park trip and picnic led to a massive cold hands meltdown, this was a big step up.
We went outside during and after the blizzard! Today I wanted to take a morning walk but it was 0 degreesâŚtrying again tomorrow 
Today it was not nice outside. Other than a bit of time on the sprinkler trampoline it was an inside day.
A morning run was a mistake. Hello heat stroke my old friend.
We are watching playschool already and itâs 9:30am
The one year old is usually keen for outside time no matter what but even he did a u-turn back for the air conditioning after making a break for the garden when I went to pick beans.
I donât think we are going outside today. I think that is ok.
I doubled down and mowed. It needed to be done rain coming. It really got away from me. The edges can wait.
A play, in parts:
âPicnic! Outside! Picnit!â
âOkay, itâs too close to dinner. But we can go to the park and play I spyâ
âIspaaaaaa YEAH!â
âDo you want your blue jacket or black?â
âDis!â gestures to very thin jacket currently being worn
âAre you sure? Itâs very cold and windy. I think you need a jacketâ
(Toddler ânegotiatingâ ensues. Including but not limited to getting a jacket for her lovey, but refusing to wear one herself. I take this as a win because at least the jacket can come with us, and head on out)
Outside
âWINDY! Windy!â
âYes, itâs windy and cold. Would you like your jacket now?â
âNooooooooo. We go home! I go home! Mama, (doggie), (latte), coral, go home!â
âIf you wear your jacket we can stay out and play I spyâ
NOOOOOOO.
And this is how we had a sub 4 min outdoor adventure
at least the dog peed.
I took the baby outside while itâs pleasant before the sun gets up, and the kiddo followed us out because thereâs birds and flowers and a water tap he can use by himself to make mud pies. Heâs describing the ingredients as he measures them as though heâs actually baking. I predict weâre doing some kitchen baking soon, with me being helper instead of lead chef.
i love that you bake together!
It is 22 degrees out! But I did go out. We both had a fun time looking at animal prints in the snow and noticing that the birds favored a certain tree because it gave them food. We talked about icicle formation. And we ended the trip by stopping over at Rodeos house!
This all took a whopping⌠15 mins. LOL. Oh well.
Itâs gorgeous today. Sunny, over 50F. Kids at the park. Latte spent over 2 hours outside then crashed- we had to wake her up after almost 3 hours of napping! Weâll see if we get more outside time this evening.
I was able to sweep out the garage a bunch, too.
