Super Bowl XLIV

Super Bowl Sunday wasn't turning out to be much different than any other Sunday until some really clever, thoughtful kids decided we needed a party.

After Jon finally arrived home from church, we ate a yummy pot roast dinner with all the fixin's. With our bellies full we were ready for the kids to tuck us into our bed for our Sunday nap.

"Wake me up at 4:45," Jon told Alyssa as she left our room.

It was actually around 5:15 when Alyssa came excitedly in our room, shouting for us to "wake up!"

The kids could hardly wait to show us the party they'd put together while we slept. Right outside our bedroom door was station number one. Each station had a question for us to answer. The first question: "Who are you going for?"

Station two: "How exited (excited) are you?" (on a scale of 1-5) I decided I was about a 3.

Station three: "What is your favorite player playing?" That's easy. Austin Collie...always gotta root for the former Cougar.

Station four contained our tickets for popcorn and drinks and they were eager to serve us. Alyssa was careful to punch our tickets each time.

The popcorn was popped and dished up at the countertop but we quickly decided that turning it into ooey, gooey caramel corn would be that much more fun.

It was a good game. I was fine that the Saints won. It didn't matter, really. It was my delightful kids that made my day.

What a cute thing they did. I have to say that even though there was a former Coug. We still had to root for our Saints. We were so thrilled they won!
