I have snowpants. Well, in my defense, they're my hubby's old snowpants from when he used to go snow-mobiling. Essential for playing in the snow with kids, although I haven't done it this winter because I'm big and pregnant and lazy.

I also have the feeling that I'm not old enough to have kids once in a while. I guess we'll always feel younger than we are. Until we're 105 or something.

Hey...you won!

I am 32 and I have zits, a gray streak in my hair, chin hair and I would love a pair of snowpants. I also have no intention of growing up anytime soon. It's good that I don't want kids...I'll stick with the cat. You know that they make snowpants for adults with and without the bib. Anyway, I have decided that the zits on my chin can stay because when I have a tiny bud of a chin hair about to burst through but too short to pluck, it really just looks like a blackhead. Zits are great camouflage! My mom will be 60 this year and she still has zits so I'm acutely aware that I am doomed:)

I always wear snow pants when sledding.

YIKES!

I must really be old.

:-)

I prefer to think of it as logical though.

 

Snowpants, and also footie pajamas. I can really see the appeal of those.

 

I love that you posted this. I have moments all the time that are like shocking realizations that MJ is actually my child and not someone else's. The real mom isn't coming home. She is home. It still floors me.

I guess it doesn't go away with time. lol

I proudly state that I have never worn a pair of puffy snow pants as an adult. I always wore long johns, jeans, and water proof sky shells.

Of course, this is not so much of an issue down here in Miami. lol

 

My big moments of shock are when I allow myself to realize that WE are the basis for a childhood for our kids. WE will be those memories that they have. The things that I did are officially OLD and the things they are doing are cool. Sigh... I may not have stories of having to milk the cow and plow the fields before school, but I DO have stories of no vcr, no computer and having to walk to school every day...

 

Sledding sounds great, heck I'd even wear snowpants if I could go sledding. I might have even worn them as a teen if I had the chance to sled (not much snow around these parts.)

 

I LOVE the bib snowpants...no snow in your crack and no muffin-top because it's all contained, best of both worlds :)

 

ha ha ha ha ha! :)

 

As I was reading Steph's comment, I thought, "Wow, that person sounds like Steph." Then I noticed that it was. I also am 32, although lately I do not have zits, and I do not have gray hair, I would love snow pants. Husband has snow pants and it makes me jealous.

 

Your ending totally cracked me up. I can't even imagine a real dinner party!

 

I am not even kidding when I say I was having this exact conversation with someone today, about how I don't feel old enough or mature enough or like a grown up enough to have two kids!

On a good day, I feel 19. Is that weird? Do you think our parents felt like that?

 

I love this lesson.
I wonder what the desert equivalent of puffy snow pants would be?

 

Snowpants? YES!!! Followed quickly by dorky hats, scarves and gloves! I no longer care how I look in the winter, dorky or not, I hate being cold! I guess I'm old, too!

If you lived closer to me you could borrow my snow pants. Mayberry- the adult footie pajamas are brilliant.
