What do these three things have in common?
a window...
cotton balls...
...and a ladder?
Any guesses? Well, all these things are items used to seal our windows to stop the cold draft. We tried tape, but the walls and widow seals were so cold the tape came off. We tried plastic wrap, but the draft was blowing just hard enough through the windows that the plastic wrap kept coming off too! So, on to a Russian trick...cotton balls. Philip took an afternoon and stuck cotton balls in the gaps between the frames and the windows in our living room. (Gwen would play on the floor and when we would get her up, her little hands and face would be ice cubes!) It took awhile, but you know what, it did the trick! Philip said his fingers were a little raw from sticking the cotton balls in the little cracks. But it was worth it because now we are warmer whenever we are in the living room!
The temperatures are still cold, but after a few days in the negatives any single digit temperature feel warm! Everything is in Celsius here, so we are constantly trying to figure out the Fahrenheit equal! Talk about a trip back to 4th grade math!
What do you suppose these three "things" have in common?

What do you suppose these three "things" have in common?
a handsome, loving, helpful husband...
a cheerful, squirrely little 8 month old...
...and a sweet, loving 2 year old?
They are very special people to me! They are my support and loves of my lives!
(I actually just wanted to share the pictures with you!)
