Did your kids go outside today?

We aren’t in DMV - where we are it was -15 with windchill. DS (10) skied for 6 hours only coming inside to eat. As long as you have the right gear it’s not an issue!

We went to church, but other than that no. Ours doesn't get antsy or anything if she's inside for a day, she got under a blanket and read The Happy Hollisters most of the day.

Mine are teens and both have a busy sport. So no we don’t force them outside otherwise. We are all good at self entertainment.

No

Yes, DS plays an outdoor sport and was out for 90 minutes for that. We also went for a 30 minute walk earlier in the day. It was cold, for sure, but not so cold we couldn't be outdoors.

Probably for an hour. Then also back and forth to the car 2x if that counts

We would have but we had relatives over all day who are not outdoors people in the cold. But they ran around the house a lot. Feel asleep before bedtime!

We went out yesterday for 4+ hours though

Yeah of course. A bunch of the neighborhood kids showed up on bikes and played with our kids in the yard for a few hours. They all wore t shirts because boys seem to hate feeling warm.
Also took the dog to the dog park and went for a few walks.

Not always but generally yes. I took my two younger kids into the local conservation area where they broke ice with sticks and such. Lasted about an hour because 3 year old was tired. 6 year old would probably still be out there. My older kid took a long walk with his music and podcasts.

Hells no. I hate the cold. Abhor it. My kids aren’t fans either. We’d all be miserable. No thanks.

Would you like a trophy?

Oh hell no

Unless it is icy, the dog gets a walk each day. I'll make the kids go on a walk with me. I agree, getting some outdoor time really resets their moods.
