After all that preparation for Nemo, we didn’t lose power. The wind wasn’t that bad, but we did get about 18 inches of snow.
Landon had a blast “snowboarding” down the driveway on his sled. Little daredevil.
I shoveled out the car with L’s help, which involved him climbing on the roof and me yelling, “Be careful!” — and sure enough he slid down the front window, down the hood, and into the snow.
He wanted to do it again, of course, but I didn’t want my car all scratched up. It’s an old car but it still looks good for a reason.
Off we went to have breakfast at Panera Bread.

I had to return a tablecloth to T.J.Maxx next to Panera and wouldn’t you know it, it was my lucky day.
I got all of this for just $12:

- Set of 2 German thermo porcelain bowls: $2 (yes, please!)
- Pie tin for another pie tin organizer: $2
- Nike socks for L’s teddy bears: $2
- 75 Tools Every Man Needs books (a joke gift for Don since he already has all those tools as a carpenter and knows how to use them): $3
- Undershelf basket: $3

Hi there! I have ventured over from Twitter. I’m enjoying this little peak into your world! XOXO Mandi Roach
Excellent bargains! I haven’t had a good deal in a while… hope to make one soon.
Looks like you struck gold. I think its genius to use those socks for a bear. As for me I found a free bin at a used bookstore yesterday. So I got three pregnancy books for free. I love getting great deals.
Yay, free books are the best!
What?! That’s awesome! I love finding a good deal! I have a post I wrote a few posts back about a shopping trip I did. You should check it out, the best deal I got is so swoon worthy!!
