The cold

This has been the coldest winter I can remember in a looooong time. It feels like we’ve been in house arrest for the last 2 months. It's so bad that I have a hard time getting myself in the mood to even walk out to get the mail.  The boys are handling it as well as they can, but they certainly have some energy that would be better worn off playing in the snow! The responsibility chart we instituted in October helps a little – until Kale decides he doesn’t want his point for a specific thing (like eating dinner).
