Even though I love, love, love the winter months it also brings new challenges when the boys are use to playing outside for hours. For the cold & rainy days the computer becomes my new best friend. My favorite site is Starfall that introduces letters & sounds and has fun games to play. Wyatt is able to move around the different activities alone, that I find as a huge plus! Cooper started using this site when he was only two and he isn't as interested anymore as he has moved on to racing games on the Xbox;~)

With the colder weather brings the debate in our house on when to turn the heater on. I love having a cold house and am willing to pay the price during the summer to keep it at 65 degrees. When winter comes around I'm giddy being able to turn the AC off and have no more summer bills and tend to wait until the children can no longer layer themselves and stay warm. We still haven't turned the heater on, much to husband's shivering. We've had a couple of cold nights, but it still seems too warm this time of year to turn it on. Come spring time when the temperature threatens to hit the 70 degree mark you can believe that AC will be up and running again!
