What do you do......

What do you do when it is 45 degrees outside and you have 2 boys crying by the door because they want to play outside? Tell them it is too cold-until they see one of their friends outside and start freaking out because it is the end of the world because fun is happening outside without them. This is a very common occurrence in our cinder block kingdom. We were freezing and we came up with a solution. I am sure that the cute girls walking by that don't have kids yet thought we were total white trash. We didn't care. To quote my good friend, Jamie: "Don't judge us, just join us."
Yes that is an extension cord coming from my apartment.


Yes, there are several extension cords hooked together because we didn't have one long enough.


Yes, we have a heater out in the playground.
I know many of you are thinking, "Yes, I would call that white trash." I also know that many of you past cinder block residents are envious, you remember the days of sitting out in the cold just for your sanity. Oh, what you would have given for a little warmth. All I can say is "Don't judge us!!!" :)
