2 month old and a 4 year old and cold, i mean COLD weather!

Life around the home, is always chaotic. But it is getting easier to deal with and handle. I know I am not a perfect parent. I am trying to stick to these values. In hopes that my twos will live by these values as well.
To put God first, others second (regardless if you like them, or they are nice to you or not), then our own self third. To be humble and thankful in all circumstances. To listen, pray, and then speak. 
Though not easy values, they are important values for I believe anyone to follow. If we as Christians actually in all circumstances, put God first, others second and ourselves third, it would I believe turn this world upside down. For they would see through our actions God, and not just words. For if they are words alone without action it is meaningless. 
I cannot believe how quickly my youngest has grown, he already in size 9 months clothes. He is just like his older brother was at that age. I am just so glad, my oldest, is speaking in actual sentences most of the time. I just cannot believe that he is getting ready to be for the transition of kindergarten. I know that he will do well, as long as he has a teacher, that is patient with him, and take breaks and move. He does not like to sit down for too long. Nor do I as an adult. So in my opinion schools need to stop forcing children to sit down and learn, and let them get up and move and actually have fun learning. 
With this cold weather, though I cannot let my 4 year old stay outside. I still have to find ways to keep him warm in the home, whenever we are down stairs with extra clothing and blankets. Thankfully we have quite a bit of fleece blankets. Trying to keep him entertained, by playing board games, and whatever other activity he wants. It is so limited because my 2 month old does not nap for long or if at all on his own. I know one day he will not be like this, but I cannot wait until I can lay him down for a nap and he will actually stay down long enough for me to get light cleaning, food made and activity down with my oldest, before he wakes up.
I hope everyone stays warm on this cold day. May you day be a blessed day!
