Southern Snowsuit

Those of you that commented were so sweet to say we looked prepared for the weather,  but I’m about to show the progression of a southern ghetto snowsuit.  I know all my northern bloggy buddies are laughing at me, but you have to make due with what you have.  I’ve never seen snow like this in my life (at least not here or in Texas!)

So here’s the progression of getting dressed to play outside on Saturday morning.  Don’t your kids hang out in dress up over pj’s all day on Saturday’s?

The layers:  Any type of animal print tights will do, a pair of snug fitting pajamas, a turtleneck and pair of pants as an outer layer.  You do not need a pom pom for this outfit.  It’s just an extra.

Add grocery bags of your choice (we used Publix bags) before your outer layer as you see fit to keep the inner layers as dry as possible.  Clearly, this process was a bore to Landree as I made her model the ghetto snowsuit.

Add a vest, fake smile, and you’re about ready to go…we used our rain boots and coat along with mittens and a hat and Landree didn’t complain one time about being cold.

Hilarious! I'll mail you the kids old ski suits they have outgrown just so you will have them "in case" it ever snows again.
