Game Night

Life is good. Simple but good. Last night we had a last minute get together for the football game. Our neighbors came over and brought chicken strips, macaroni salad and a great sausage dip and chips. We had gotten some wings, fruit and dessert from the grocery store. Sissy brought a really good guacamole dip and chips. We all hung out watching the game and eating great food. The kids, of course, had a blast. Our neighbors are big time football fans and their kids are grown so once in awhile I had to remind the kids not to stand in front of the television ;) But, the girls got out their cheerleading costumes and Boop got out his FSU football and threw it around until he started throwing bullets! Then we had to go back to rolling it ;) The kids were allowed to stay up a little later so Sissy gave them their showers and then while Ms. Linda watched the game she dried and brushed and styled the girls hair. The girls were in heaven. Mr. John and daddy just kept watching the game with all the commotion going on. It takes skill (and patience) to watch sports on TV when you have little ones around. By half time everyone was ready to leave. Mr. John and Ms. Linda knew daddy had to work in the morning, Sissy had a paper to write, and my babies had to go to bed. The kitchen had been cleaned by everyone and the night was at an end. I was able to relax on the couch and watch the rest of the game in peace and quiet. One of the better parts, FSU finally won on a Thursday night. . . .
