I have six kids all under 2.5 years. We played outside in the snow every day last year, and I don't remember it taking this long to get the winter gear on... But I had fewer kids, one who could dress herself, and toddlers in one-piece zip up snow suits which really saves time.
We have snow here already, and all week getting dressed to go out has consistently taken 30 minutes. I'm efficient! These kids really just can't do any of it on their own.
What do you do during this process? The kids dressed first are screaming or bouncing off the walls having to wait 30 minutes.
I can't have books or toys for them to play with since we put on mittens first, then coats. They can't do anything with mittens on. And I can't put mittens on last because it's basically impossible and the mittens just keep falling off outside if I do that.
I'm thinking TV. We don't watch any. But I can't think of anything else!
