BRRR...

I can't believe the cold is here so quickly! Since that subject is not my favorite, on to something else =).

It was another busy weekend. What else is new? We got up early on Saturday to find FREEZING temps and frost as well as fog.
We left quickly to catch some end of season garage sales before heading to join up with the others going to the football game.

We did find one sale that had some cute fall/winer clothes for Aliyah. I was excited. I spent $17.75 and got a big bag. This week's finds were from Gap, Children's Place, and Old Navy. My mom found 3 items for her from Gymboree. Throw in several packs of hangers and a few other things and it was worthwhile.

I was able to take in my very first football game ever. We were basically on the field (2nd row). Problem was, they were not at our end of the field hardly at all. Michigan St. dominated the game. The MSU cheerleaders were directly in front of us so I enjoyed watching that. Parts of me wished I was still coaching cheerleading as this would have been wonderful.
Coolest part of the game without a doubt:
the national anthem was played/sung and we hear a strange noise off to the left. Many had NO idea what it was--myself included. All of the sudden, 2-F16's zoomed overhead and banked back. As quickly as they flew over, they were gone! It is amazing how f-16's can sneak up on a stadium full of people and fly over so close. WOW! My heart was beating so fast!
We ate at a local pizza place called Papa Dell's. I was unsure because I am not a fan of Chicago style deep dish. This was deep dish, but I loved it!
Josh enjoyed going back to his Alma Mater for their homecoming game. It has been 10 years since he graduated from U of I!! It was cool. I didn't learn anything about football, but the experience was fun.

We had some cleaning/organizing to do on Sunday. I feel good about what we finished. Of course, there was the normal routine items that called for our attention as well.

Well, I have started another blog called Fru Fru Frugality. Go visit www dot frufrufrugality dot blogspot dot com . I will post there periodically as I come up with things to post =).
