Sunday morning Baillie says, "can we watch the Superbowl today?"
I say, "really? You want to watch the Superbowl? Why?" I think it's because it's so she can be in the conversation at school tomorrow. Or maybe she has a crush on a boy who loves football. I don't know. But tonight we have the missionaries over for dinner. And lucky enough, both being from Canada, they don't care about football!
After Church we make yummy dinner, we cook cream of broccoli soup, salad and homemade rolls. We talk and enjoy the afternoon. We eat chocolate Oreo pie. The missionaries give us a thought and we talk about missionary work.
Carter has a really funny story about how he snuck a Book of Mormon into his friends back pack after the friend told him he might read it. Baillie has been working on missionary work too. The missionaries think we are great.
Then we pray and the missionaries are gone...
Like a bolt of lightning Baillie rushes up to turn on the TV where the game has been recording! All are feeling the anticipation. Everyone has a story about what team their teacher likes or how their friend is totally for this or that team. A quick lesson about the game of football and we are into it full force!
We love the commercials, we laugh. The kids don't get jokes that are set in the 80's. We think CarMax and Doritos win. Darth Vader was pretty good too. But the House/Mean Joe Green was my favorite.
Half time is both impressive and lame at the same time. Everyone has a comment whether they like it or not. I could of done with out it. Carter wishes it featured the marching band that was briefly shown before the game started.
But the good times come when we start to fast forward and all of a sudden the game isn't really important at all. The kids are so relaxed and happy. Baillie is fixing her nail polish, Carter is on facebook on his ipod, Kendahl is asleep on the couch and Brodric is tackling puff pillows. Then he starts to fly! Flying makes for good times!
And in the end Sunday Superbowl turned out to be really enjoyable family time!
I have the best family ever!
