Super Bowl Party. What's that?

All throughout the week the kids have seen advertisments for the Super Bowl, parties, and goodies.  Conversations went something like this:

Kids:  We want a Super Bowl party.

Mom:  Do you know what the Super Bowl is?

Kids:  No, but we want a party.

Mom:  It's on Sunday.

Kids:  That's not fair.  Everyone else is having a party.  How come we can't?  What is the Super bowl anyway?

Mom: It is a professional football game.  It determines the champion of all the teams.

Kids:  Ooohh, cool.  Who are you going to cheer for?

Mom:  I don't even know which teams are playing.

Kids:  We'll find out.



Off they went to the computer and chose teams.  Four for the Colts and two for the Saints.

We had tons of food.


Party style.


Comfy seats for the viewing.

And, after an hour the kids had eaten all they could eat, were thoroughly bored, and couldn't figure out what the hype was all about.  I couldn't have planned it better myself.

I told my kids when the Cougars went to the Superbowl then we'd watch it. :D
