You know it's cold. . .




. . .when your two-year old insists on taking his nap like this--with house shoes and huge fleece still on! We are down to about a week now before our heat comes on, so we're almost there! And we were able to get our main air conditioning unit in our living room to turn up high enough that it warms up the apartment somewhat, too. We are thankful for this as we've had another big cold front, but without the expected ice and snow. Gotta love the long underwear everyone insisted we needed to bring over with us!

I realized today (Wednesday) that the kids haven't been out of the apartment since Sunday! Which is REALLY unusual for our highly-active crew. So we did bundle up today and played some soccer and badminton in our courtyard for awhile. We've discovered a fun way to entertain the kids and get some wiggles out after dinner each night. We have family dance parties! I realized the effect our music choice is having on our kids a few nights ago when kevin and I heard them all singing from their bedroom after we'd put them down for the night. They were alternating between Chris Brown's "Forever" (from the popular U Tube wedding video) and Hillsong's "Mighty to Save"! I guess we need to choose wisely, as they had the lyrics down equally well for both! :)
