Are you wanting to replace them due to temperature control or are they leaking or something?

The ones in the nursery are awful and leaking, they definitely have to go. The picture window is original to the house (70s) and that main level is cold. H thinks it's due to the window, I think it's more the French doors to the porch on that level. In an ideal world we could replace the doors also.

We replaced like half our downstairs windows a few years ago. It definitely made a difference in our energy efficiency. You might also check if your utility company has any rebates for that sort of thing. Plus if you're in a sales tax state you can write off the sales tax from it.

... We got a lot of taxes back the year we did our home renovations...

Thanks pismoduo ! I just checked the Energy company (they did give us rebates for insulation) but all they offer is a loan to help pay for windows up front. I was very excited about writing off the sales tax you mentioned and H was like duh, I already knew that. Guess he should communicate better!

He talked me into both windows, like I knew he would. We can afford it I just cringe anytime we dip into savings.


In other news, I think we just traumatized DD for life. I got her a Little People set at the thrift store that was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She was so excited it was a movie, we all cuddled up to watch it after dinner tonight. I didn't realize that there is a scary part at the beginning where a guy chases Snow White with a knife. She totally freaked out, asked to go to her bed (totally unlike her), and cried about it every few minutes. She finally fell asleep with her arms around my neck repeating 'I don't want the scary, I don't want the scary.' I feel awful.

cbrandt1 I went back and forth between being horrified at my awful parenting skills and laughing too.

Your poor DD, fem!! That is pretty funny, though!!

We had a first in our house tonight. C was being a turd and just wasn't going to sleep. I turned on the video monitor to see what she was up to and she had taken off her sleep sack, pants and diaper and she had her bare butt wiggling in the air trying to rock herself to sleep. I took a picture it was so funny.
