Is This Normal?
As I type, my boys are getting their kicks by running outside in the snow with bare feet. Do you think this will help Caleb get over his runny nose and hoarse throat??

Our children Do that at least several times every year. Usually they run around the house...this year they decided our house was too small so they added a sled ride down a hill across the road to make it more impressive. All I can say is..."Huh? Where is the fun in feet that are so cold you can't feel them?" After that we said no more till next year. They still ask to go barefoot every now and then when I tell them to go run around the house 15 times to work off some energy. Kids definitly lack common sense at times. (Arthur and his siblings used to do the same thing.)
Yeah, it's normal. My sisters and I used to do it at least once a winter. (I guess that doesn't make it normal, though, does it?) But, I have been indoctrinated by my dad to believe that it will NOT make you sick. Sickness comes from viruses and bacteria, not from cold feet. :) And, once I had a really bad cold, went skiing in TBay and it was gone. Who knows. Someone told me (seriously) that you can freeze out germs. So, make it a morning ritual! Ha ha. :)
Sure it's normal - for a masochist. Remember when we brought Sandra up to visit Weezie Lapp and they stood barefoot in the snow hugging and freaking out? (while we got pictures) It was a surprise visit... anyway, it's not really the same at all, but I was just reminded of that...

Of course it's normal. It's called conquering the elements.
