I took the kiddos to the local outdoor rink today.....
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Now I don't like the cold much and standing or slipping around in a minus 23 wind is not my idea of fun. However I had visions of tired, happy kiddos sleeping soundly tonight dancing in my head, damned if I was going to be the one to call it a day. I am Mama, hear me roar, I can take it, I've given birth for crying out loud what's a wee arctic freeze breeze compared to that?.
Heh they dropped like flies,
One of the kiddos: Mom, is there going to be hot chocolate when we get back.
Grey ( That would be me): Sure is
Kiddo :I'm getting cold.
Another Kiddo: I'm getting tired of falling down and I gotta pee.
Grey ( with relief and happiness seeping into my frozen regions) : Does that mean we all agree to cut this short and go home. Kinda a shame to leave already......
Kiddo: Mom I think my socks are the only thing keeping my toes on my feet.
Grey (again me, doing a mental jig at how easy I am getting let off on this polar experience): Well then that settles it, we can't have parts falling off. Hot chocolate and muffins for everyone!.

It *is* always best when the Kiddos think it's their idea to stop. ;)
That would make a great battle cry..."Hot chocolate and muffins for everyone!!"
ya gotta let them think they are in charge of some things right?
Yeah William Wallace has nothing on me. :)
