A Little Bit of This and A Little Bit of That

Another weekend is coming to a close.

We had our first measurable snowfall on Saturday.

It looks very pretty out there right now, but I fear this means we are in for a long winter.

On Friday night, John and I went to On the Rock for our free pizza and some beers.

I am sad that we only have one more free pizza this year and then we will have to start paying for our pizzas, I suppose, unless they run another contest and John wins again.

Chances of that, slim to none.

On Saturday, John and I went on another shopping trip.

I am so thankful that he tripses along with me so willingly and even seems to enjoy it, as much as a man is able to enjoy shopping.

We started out at the Learning Shop where I needed some snowflakes.

We had fun checking out all the latest and greatest toys and gadgets, making mental notes about what Tiz and Soli might like.

We enjoyed a lunch at Fuddruckers, still one of the best burgers around.

We spent about an hour wandering around Toys R Us, again looking for ideas for the girls.

We did purchase a few gifts and left with a new charge card and many more gift ideas to consider.

Brookfield Square was next on the itinerary.

We found a new store called Learning Express which had many fun, unique gifts for kids, more purchases and more ideas to add to our mental list.

Barnes and Noble was next to look for a few books for the girls.

I love, love, love a bookstore and could have spent hours there, but both John and my feet were feeling the day, so we picked out a few books and were on our way.

In the meantime, The Badgers were running all over Nebraska and thanks to our smartphone we could keep track of the progress of that game, too.

We ended up at Michael's and The World Market for a few more goodies before heading to Rocky Roccoco's in Oconomowoc, but not before a dicey, icey drive there down I-94.

We saw numerous cars in the ditches and passes what appeared to be a pretty bad crash with fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances.

The first snowfall of the season is always hard.

It takes us awhile to remember how to drive in the white stuff.

We enjoyed our pizza and headed home.

It was a fun day and we have a long mental list of gifts possibilities, hope I don't lose that list because I am pretty sure, John already lost his.

Today, Sunday, John is shoveling for the first of many times.

We will go to church this afternoon to welcome our new pastor and enjoy a pot luck dinner.

Bad part is, it is right during the Packer game, but hopefully they will do well without us watching.

Hope all of you had a great weekend, too.
