Recipe for fun

Most of you know I am not a real "genius" in the kitchen....yes...my family eats a warm meal everynight, but there is usually a "box" of some kind involved! So...the step by step recipes on blogs these days (complete with photos) don't really get "appreciated" by me...but this is one recipe I can "appreciate".

1. Gather appropriate "snow wear". This includes but is not limited to socks, pants, shirts, snowsuits, coats, and gloves. Note-before beginning make sure all parties involved have been to the potty!

2. Begin the dressing. Place appropriate clothes on appropriate children. Note-things may be or seem a little large or small. Instruct effected child to suck in or poof out where appropriate.

3. Go to spice..I mean shoe rack and locate appropriate footwear. Note earlier note concerning sizing.

4. Apply gloves to those needing assistance. The goal here is to get all the fingers inside the gloves and make sure the right glove is on the right hand! (This can be tricky..if you make a mistake kind neighbors may point it out!)

5. Call children of kind neighbors and make sure they are ready to roll!

6. ENJOY! (until step 7...things are about to get tricky!)

7. Discard snowy clothing. Now the REAL work begins!!! Remove snow from clothing and boots. Add snowy clothing to washing machine. This will take several loads and require hours of washing, drying, and folding.

8. Repeat all steps the next time it snows!!!!!
