We decided that the washing machine that came with our house isn’t enough anymore (especially since we’re doing laundry all the time now). Since Mary Ellen was here all day today, we took the opportunity to shop for a new one. We decided on a front loader from Sears. It’s amazing what it can do with so much less water! Can’t wait for it to come. We had a hard time deciding on the color though. If we got the white one, we would have to wait until mid-January. If we got the black one, we could get it next week. Of course we had to get it ASAP, so we got the black one. We also had time to catch the new Lemony Snicket movie, which was pretty good. It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, but the sets were gorgeous! Michael went on a hike early in the morning (after the 4am feeding) so he was really tired and fell asleep for part of the movie. We got home and Mary Ellen reported that the boys pretty much ate and then slept the rest of the day. It was nice to get out and catch a movie!
