The heat it ON!

For a few weeks now we have had our heat on. What that means in our house is that we're running our wood stove (aka "the hot box" to Moses).
We have thoroughly enjoyed our "hot box" for almost a year now and wouldn't trade it for any other kind of heat. Sure it is a little more work-intensive and dirty, but MY GOODNESS is the heat amazing!! I'm currently wearing short sleeves and our upstairs is a comfortable 72 degrees, which probably means that it is 76 downstairs and about 80 in the kitchen, where the wood stove is. I informed Paul that no matter when or were we moved that we would be taking the wood stove with us. He just looked at me and said "nah, we'll buy another one, just as efficient, when we move. I promise." If it's up to me, I don't think I'll ever have any other kind of heat.
Moses loves the hot box also. He rotates sides in front and on the sides of it until I think he's going to burn himself, then he eventually settles down on his rug next to it. He'd stay there all night if we'd let him.
