Spring is in Their Hair: The Joys of Making Them Play Outside

In my neck of the woods weather is relatively mild, but even so, the rain and mist and gory grey makes a person (no matter how tall) want to curl up with a good Diego episode and eat a cookie.

With all the evidence that our kids are the fattest, least active, most addicted to television since the Goddess invented children, most parents are plagued with worry. Are they getting enough exercise? Eating too many McNuggets? Do they realize how much TV the ‘rents watch after they go to bed? Will they (please God) do as we say and not as we do when it comes to being physically healthy?

Fat chance. Your only hope is warmer weather, or at least a cessation of the sleet and hail and snow.
