no photo stingyness super bowl party recap

so today things go back to normal. yesterday, instead of cleaning up from the super bowl party, i took the day off to recover and went shopping. i found a few things for me- some not on sale and i'm starting to feel guilty, and of course i picked up a few things for kaylee. while shopping it reminded of those days when i could shop for ham and he would be happy with what i bought. too soon, it will be the same for kaylee. she will have her own style and will want to shop for her own clothes. makes me sad that they grow up so fast. mike had the day off too, to recover but from different reasons. i still had him take kaylee to preschool.

on with the super bowl party details with a few photos! a few moms and kids hanging out upstairs.

the robinson's in their matching colts t-shirts- losers! definitely not the robinson's, just the team they 're representing!

everyone getting ready for kick-off

this goes to show you men like sitting at a bar. they're watching the game from the smallest tv.

mr. cutie pie ben.

and his little brother who has the "lady-killer" smile. yeah, thats big trouble.

kaylee and one of her friends in jammies

mike getting a new hair do because he didn't listen to his wife and betted against the saints.

yeah, try getting all romantic with that.

and this year we wanted to do something different and had one of those game boards. if you ended up with the ending score after each quarter, you won a prize. if there was no name on the square someone could volunteer to do a dare. we only had to bring out two of the dares. since most people left by 9am (kids + work will do that), we gave the prizes to whoever was left so tad ended up with the mack daddy prize. i don't think he was as excited about it as he looks. its still here. ham liked it so i think we will just give it to him.

think the party turned out successful even though i missed most of the commercials. thank-god football season is now over. i can begin to recoup and not have to think about football for 7 months and 1 day. the new season doesn't start till sept 10.

on the menu: spirals, cucumber sandwiches, humus with bread chips, meatballs, crunchy asian salad, buffalo chicken dip, spicy avocado shrimp salsa, chips, mac and cheese, italian beef, bbq pork sandwiches and lots of to die for desserts-brownies, chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter/chocolate chip bars, chocolate cake. {no, i did not make everything}
