I like what Ryland says, esp using urethane caulking on the cracks, you could use an elastomeric paint on the outside, even comes in pink if swmbo demands, there are several brands, dryvit is probably one of the high end products, you could even do an outsulation job using foam and latex stucco.
I have found that plastic tarps can be bought cheaply if there is a surplus store or farm supply discount store near you, and they are much more durable than plastic sheeting.
