We bought some toboggans (as they are only known in the South), and mittens for the boys after a disastrous trip to play group. It was a cooler day--probably about 40 degrees. Not too bad, but Caleb wouldn't run around because his hands were cold. But the real disaster was that Jacob found some mud puddles, and was stomping happily in them. Unfortunately when I went to retrieve him he ran and slipped up and landed flat on his back in the middle of the puddle. He was soaked. So we left less than fifteen minutes after we got there.
So when we went to Target later we stopped by the dollar bin spot. And the mittens were a buck a piece, and so were the hats! Score one for mom!
As a bonus, both boys love wearing them, and they will put them on themselves. Jacob too, which I think is quite an accomplishment for someone not quite two yet! I thought they were so cute in their hats and mittens, I had to take some pictures. They turned out well enough that Rob wanted to post them to Smugmug. That's saying something--he doesn't usually suggest it.
