Winter. Blech.

OK, so I realize that we live in a snowy part of the world, but while it’s usually cold in November, we don’t usually get snow – at least not the kind that accumulates – quite so early.

Luckily, I had gone out while Carrie was in school yesterday and gotten her new coat, since her coat from last year has sleeves that are an inch too short this year. And even more luckily, we got a pair of hand-me-down boots from Carrie’s friend Simone. Otherwise, we’d have missed swim class due to insufficient weather-appropriate clothing. We almost missed it anyway because Anna had the biggest diaper blow-out ever, requiring a load laundry, carpet cleaner and half a tub of wipes to get under control…

I hate winter – well, at least in November. And leaky diapers? I hate those all the time.
