The Daily Hailey

We dug out the winter gear for the kids the other day. Absolutely everyone has stuff that fits! The kids, that is. A winter jacket for Brady is going to be a whole thing to figure out now. Everything rides up funny in a wheelchair, and Brady won’t necessarily know if he’s cold, so we need something pretty specific. We’ll get there. But for the moment, the kids are set! Everyone has boots, a good warm jacket, snow pants that fit, a good stack of mini gloves, plus a good warm pair of mitts, and a new toque, c/o ME! I just realized I might not have showed you those yet! I’ll take pictures one of these days.

Aaaaanyway, I had to laugh the other day after a full afternoon of playing outside.

Our entrance, that used to feel like it was a fair size, is incredibly small nowadays. All of the kids’ fall stuff is still in the closet, because it literally just got snowy. Plus their winter gear. Plus Bradys and my shoes and boots and such. Plus whatever junk builds up. And now we have our mitt dryer over our one little vent in the entrance, by its little wall space between two doors, and that thing has been STACKED with boots like this.

No mitts though 🤣

Now add to that a wheelchair when Brady is trying to get somewhere.

And then try and turn around in that wheelchair.

Our next house will have a mud room. Mark my words. And it will have one of those big beefy boot dryer things, because there will be room for it.

Aaaaanyway, this is where we’re at. Everything is always wet, and in a pile, and being pushed around because there just isn’t space, so its all dirty.

And we’re, what, three days into the snow?

Don’t mind me. Just a newbie over here, feeling a tad pessimistic, trying to cover up all my worry and uncertainty.

If you can’t find me, I’m hiding inside, under a blanket, wearing two pairs of pants, planning out my Christmas cards 😍Are yoooooou on my list?
