But it's not limited to the northern part of the state. Heck, I've personally seen snow in downtown Tucson.

It's Phoenix metro. About 40ish miles away from Scaegles and his pork supply.

We have six large ficuses (fici?) that are all a lovely shade of brown now.

Not only does he admit it, but he acts like I'm the most neglectful mom ever if it happens to get cold while we are out and we don't have his jacket with him.

I am sorry for the trees, but feeling a wee bit of satisfaction at Scaeagles' weather payback.

However, if it makes Leo feel any better, I have a horrendous cold.

Now, why do you think your misery would brighten my day?

Hmm. How old is your son? Perhaps it is down the road for you? Maybe I need to forget his gear sometime and see what he does?

Ouch, I hate ice!! Which reminds me to ask~
Has anyone ever used those things you put on your shoes for traction in the ice? Or are they just for traction in the snow? I picked up some of these but haven't had the chance to try them and any advice/experience on what they actually do would be appreciated.

I'd hate to put them on with expectations and then fall flat on my rear. Or head or break my leg!!

I must be a really teerrible person because I laughed my head off at that.

He's 3. He also must have a hat and sunglasses in the summer.

LOL Oh, okay. That is the difference. Mine is almost 13. Can't be bothered with my advice much of the time, it would seem. {which, by my current parenting book, is quite common at this age}.

Lol, 3 year olds and 13 year olds have something in common then...neither can be bothered with advice.

Isn't that funny?
