igloo

[algor]

Am I being oh so mean to not allow my husband and DS (8 and 9) to sleep out in an igloo they have spent the day building
. Has any one else done this? Will they lose their fingers to frostbite? help I need to make a decision soon!

Good lord - you mean they managed to stay out there all night?? Am very impressed! Were they soaked through in the morning?

Well done you for biting the bullet and letting them do it!

have you got a pic? am also very impressed

Fantastic! Well done them- that's the sort of thing they'll be telling their own kid's about in thirty years... "we don't get winters like we used to!"

thumbplumbpuddingwitch they were bone dry and as warm as toast when they came in. DH, who had the thinnest sleeping bag, was pleasantly surprised by how warm it was. They had about 9 karrimats and a blanket between them and the ground and they each had proper down winter sleeping bags. They have finally gone back to school today and cant wait to tell the story!

That's totally brilliant!

Agree with mistletoeploppy - couldn't put it better myself! And you have all the kudos of beinga cool mum for letting them as well. Fantastic outcome all round
