Snowpants Squabbles
Ahhhhh!! Do you ever have the urge to let out a primal scream? It’s not bad therapy but I can’t do it because everyone is asleep.
Tired Kids sure talk crazy and you can go crazy yourself if you listen too intently.
I was sucked into an insane argument over whose snow pants were whose. I think I would know since I purchased them. One was complaining they were too tight and refused to believe they were the wrong ones until I finally found the other pair to present as proof.
Hanging onto hats and mittens seems to be a challenge as well. I had a system going where they each had a basket that they were supposed to put them in. That basket got full of everything but hats and mittens. I have a huge basket for boots as well and I don’t like how it has turned out. The basket system is getting old.
Actually, it’s mainly the mittens that are the issue and of course socks. Everyone here gets the same color of socks and if they can squeeze them onto their feet, they’re theirs.
It works out better for us than separate colors. When I was a kid I used to get compliments on my colorful socks. We had tons of different colors but we also had a whole drawer full of mismatches.
I could not get onto the site until now for some reason and it’s late so if I’m babbling that’s my excuse.

I guess I’m fortunate in that I have a boy and girl, so it’s pretty obvious who’s stuff is whoms LOL. Thank you so much for the lovely plug and for the warm welcome - I really appreciate it!!

Hey Randi, no problem. They are a boy and a girl! They’re twins but they’re still not the same size and I bought a black pair and a navy pair. They still looked too much the same I guess.
