You know its cold when....

I have forgotten how bitter cold it gets here in Chicago. I can truly understand why they call it the "Windy City". I hate having to get the kids all bundled up just to go from the car to school. They end up wanting to shed their hat, gloves and scarves as soon as they get in the car. Rick and I were laughing too about signs you know its getting cold in Chicago:

1. There are icicles hanging from you car.
2. The car wash water freezes as you enter the car wash (it happened to us today)
3. The 5 gallon water bottles stored in the garage are frozen solid
4. The only cars out on the road first thing in the morning are snow plows
5. You are still cold outside even if you are bundled in layers and have a hat, gloves and scarf
6. The windshield wiper fluid freezes as you spray it

I hope this winter is we have a little less snow than last year. Although, I guess the forecasters are saying it is supposed to be a very cold winter. I just hope they are wrong. Otherwise, it is going to be a long winter for us.

We did not end up doing much today because of the cold. We went to church and Wal-Mart and then spent the rest of the day nice and warm inside.

Hope everyone has a nice week. AJ has his Christmas Program at school on Wednesday. We are really looking forward to seeing him sing.
