Spring, summer, fall it only takes us about 5 min to get out the door. I buy one bottle of spray sunscreen and all parents pay an extra dollor toward and sign a form Agreeing to that brand. That way I'm not rubbing in sunscreen, trying to find the right bottle, etc. we spray up outside. It's fast!
In the winter I'm not a fan of bundling up in snow suits. I have a long black-topped driveway. Kids put on boots, coats, mittens, hats. Takes about 15 min. We just play on the driveway. I'm not a super hero! I'm not into wrangling kids into snow suits! We only go out once a day in the winter. We don't go out if it's colder than 25-30 degrees.
