This week has been pretty routine for us. Friday I spent my morning/early afternoon at the Denver Dumb Friends League (animal shelter) doing spays. On my way home I met Jon at our storage unit and we spent about an hour or so pulling out boxes of stuff we wanted (extra kitchen tools and the Christmas tree and decorations). It was nice weather, so we figured we should get the Christmas stuff out before it snowed again!
Saturday Jon watched the A&M game until I got home from work, then we ordered pizza and watched more college football. I worked an extra day on Monday (my usual schedule is Tuesday-Saturday), so by Saturday night I was definitely ready for a break!
Sunday I met a couple of girls from work and we went to a big holiday craft fair in the Denver Convention Center. About 1/3 of the booths were selling food, and they had lots of free samples - we tried chili, dips, Mexican rice, jellies, a cherry energy drink, and even champagne-flavored chocolate! In the center of the hall there was a huge Christmas tree with an enormous train set running around it - it reminded me of going to a big holiday train display in Dallas when I was a kid. We had a great time - we even saw Santa there! And it was snowing when we left - very Christmas-y feeling. =) When I got back, Jon and I did our weekly grocery shopping (Grocery Game - woohoo!), then came home to eat chicken tortilla soup and watch The Halloween Tree. Yes, I realize it's about a week and a half late, but it was checked out at the library until now. If you've never seen it, it's a cute Halloween cartoon movie about 4 friends who travel through Halloweens past to learn about the history of witches, monsters, mummies, and skeletons. In the process they also end up saving their friend - very cute. We ate pumpkin pie that Jon baked while watching the movie - yum!
PS: Ernie loves fresh, clean towels. We did laundry this morning and placed some towels on the table while exchanging loads of laundry. Ernie found this nice soft warm spot to take a nap.
