Getting out the door to the park in Winter

How I got to the park this afternoon (written mid-Feb just before our trip but not posted)

Made tea in thermos for me

Mr 5 had to finish apple, then we read library book

Mr 5 needed jumper and jacket

Mr snotty insisted on fireman costume. But tried to take jumper off first. Also didn't want jacket on outside of fireman top. 

Put fireman top on outside of jacket - tight fit...put shoes and socks on baby Fireman. 

Initially he was going in pram. Then he changed his mind to riding. But wanted to wear fireman hat. Then didn't want bike helmet clipped under neck. Wanted it on chin, or undone, I can't work out which. Put his bike back in cupboard. 

Got other bike up from basement. Insisted on gloves for Mr 5.

Baby realised that fireman top was too tight and consented to taking it off. 

Put bike out on pavement, then carried pram out. Settled Mr Fireman, who refused gloves and was unhappy his helmet wouldn't stay on in pram. 

Shut door and then discovered that basketball wouldn't fit under pram. Went back inside and got bag. 

Got to tennis court. Baby constantly grizzled that he wanted to go to park. I ignored him to give Mr 5 time to ride around. Drank cold tea. Cheered Mr 5 as much as is possible with Mr Fireman grizzling in the background.
Went to playground, watched with heart in mouth as Mr 5 rode down a hill close to parked cars and around a corner almost completely out of control.
Pushed Mr Fireman on swings, but he started crying as his hands were cold. Got gloves on him, which involved taking off jacket, putting on gloves, putting gloves back on.
Mr 5 decided he needed his beanie, but I didn't have it. Baby copied the distressed noises. Got baby his beanie. Mr 5 decided he was freezing, but couldn't use my beanie when offered.
We went home. I think we spent close to 45 mins getting there, and about 15 mins there, all so they could get some measly (cold) outdoor time, so they wouldn't go crazy around dinner time...
