Is this the arctic, or is it Iowa?

I can't beleive how COLD it is! The temp is currently zero , and feels like -21 with the wind chills. It is supposed to stay this way for the next couple days. Good day to stay home and get ready for the big game tonight! We are getting geared up for some football today. Patrick is upstairs watching highlights of past games, and Emily is decked out in her Bears outfit that used to belong to Jacob. It's one of my new years reslolutions to try to maintain this blog. So check back often, leave me comments, let me know what you think! In addition to the excitement of the game, we are anxiously awaiting a call from the Lowe's delivery team. The new Whirlpool Cabrio washing machine is coming today! This was a purchase of necessity. The old one decided to die in the middle of the spin cycle the other day. So the remaining water slowly leaked out all over the laundry room floor. That was a lot of fun to clean up!! But I am excited about the new machine. It's pretty fancy, and has lots of neat features. Plus it has a ginormous capacity, so it should cut down on how many loads I have to do every week. And let me tell you, with three little ones, there is a lot of laundry going on here! Now, I'm off to find out how to add some pictures and music to this thing! Stay warm!!
