Why We Didn't Buy Expensive Furniture

I know we haven't had a very rough winter but it has been cold for a long time now. Cold enough in the evenings that our little Ethiopian doesn't want to go outside very often or for very long. So our living room, aka the play room, has become Simon's gym and the furniture his trampolines. This was how he spent Sunday evening ... showing us his jumping skills.

It must have helped to burn off some energy because he slept in his own bed all night for the first time in probably 6 months. Too bad I woke up at 4:30 and couldn't go back to sleep because I wondered why Simon hadn't come to our room. Guess I should have tried furniture diving too.
