The cold settled into this city last night.  It's the kind of cold that creeps into your bones the moment it touches your skin.  Today was one of those days that we spent drinking tea, cuddling, and singing songs and soft lullabies to pass the time.  I sure hope the temperatures start to rise.  Zoey is getting a little stir crazy and there are only so many times that I am willing to watch Curious George.  How do you keep your little ones occupied during quiet home-days?
