Getting ready for the Super Bowl is half the fun, we have discovered. Isaac worked on his beautiful Super Bowl Decorations for two days. He rummaged, measured, cut, planned and decorated until he was satisfied. When he hung a red pepper from the light fixture, I had to stop him. But overall, he did a great job with some red and white paper clips, construction paper, a glue stick, and a few stickers.
Nicko helped me in the kitchen. The kids created the menu and it was just plain weird, but they loved it. We had a taco bar, cole slaw, tropical jello mold, and BLT dip with pretzel chips!
As usual, the Super Bowl had some highs and some lows. The game itself was a good game. Penalties were a huge factor and the end of the game was very exciting. The half time show was probably one of the best we've seen in a long time. The family favorite commercial was the crystal predicting free Doritos at the office. The MUCH anticipated 3D commercials were a let down. We had four different winners for the football squares with each winner taking home a grand prize of $1.25! The kids ate an unbelievable amount of food and Mom made a mistake of drinking a Diet Coke during the game that was NOT caffeine free and was awake until after three!
The pictures above are of Isaac's awesome decorating job and the paint sample that I am still trying to decide if I like for the TV Room, Morgan being very unimpressed with being dressed up and even less impressed with the 3D commercials (isn't it great that the kids can read her mind?), a mock shot of everyone in their 3D glasses, and the food.
Overall, we love our Super Bowl parties! If you're a football fan, a commercial fan, a junk food fan or just watched for the heck of it, I hope you had a good time.

Man, I'm coming to your house next year! We had chips and guacamole and that was it! Of course it's on 3 hours earlier here. Fun that your kids got into it, mine could've cared less!
