Thanks everyone. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't completely off by doing it when the kids are already ready to head out or practicing just getting to the door quickly. I've been having them get to the door quickly and then we get ready to go out. They all were here in the summer when we practiced going out the back door and crawling to the door and getting to our meeting spot outside. I've just been keeping them used to the sound and urgency of getting to the door. I'm much more likely to do it in foul weather during the summer when it's easier to recover from getting cold.
