So this winter our landlords (close friends) suggested that they should get us an electric space heater to warm up our main living area. They sent me links to two different kinds: one an ugly, gray, plastic monstrosity, and the other a cheesy and silly fake wood stove. I have a serious aversion to big ugly plastic things, and I also had a feeling that the chicks would like the "wood stove," so we went with that one.
And let me tell you, the chicks LOVE this thing. They call it "the fireplace," and the first thing they ask me to do in the morning is turn it on. They play next to it, they read in front of it, and they incorporate its existence into their imaginative play.
While it is a little funny, it's definitely better than a piece of gray plastic, I think. So here's a photo of how you'll often find us before bedtime, having "fireside story":
Ha! I'm laughing as I'm typing this. But we're definitely getting a kick out of the plug-in wood stove.

It's very cute =)
And how nice to be good friends with your landlord!
Love it and the pic with all of your feet by it is adorable!!! My folks got something like that for the sunroom they built last summer and it really does give off loads of heat! Cuddling with your chicks in front of a warm 'fire' is sure to keep you warm all winter!

HA! My husband always wanted a wood stove...hmmmm...I sense a present!! :)
That is adorable! I know how you feel about the cold. We are getting hammered with snow right now, complete white out in WI.
Glad they are enjoying the fire!
