I thought I would share some quotes from the girls in case your team didn't win and you needed a little chuckle. The girls watched their first super bowl tonight, and I'm pretty sure it was anything but a typical football party!
With a card table, fort and a makeshift bench of blocks, the girls didn't know what was in store when we came down to our basement, but thought it had to be fun! However, 10 minutes into the pregame show, and it was apparent that we need to expose the girls to some contact sports ... Or maybe not! ;)
While interviewing a linebacker, Hannah looks up and says, "Whoa. He's really big. I bet he drinks a lot of milk." We hope so at least! ;) While showing a video of a previous game, Hannah gasps at seeing a rather brutal tackle. "Why did he get a hug from those guys after pushing that other guy down? He should get a timeout!" (I obviously didn't quite explain the point of this game very well beforehand! Every tackle was a bit traumatic for Hannah!)
Thanks to PBS, our girls haven't seen a commercial before, so that in and of itself was an experience! Although, we ended up switching channels half the time because ... whoa! But maybe we just need to get out more!
Addi's take on the whole matter was, of course, quite different! Not having to sit at a table to eat was her dream come true, and after watching a completed pass, she jumps up and exclaims, "I can do that! Watch!"
Addi's big finish was interrupted with one of the commentators announcing that a team called a time out, and Hannah thought justice had finally been served. "A 15-second time-out?! FINALLY!"
After watching Madonna's half-time show (how much harm could Madonna do after watching grown men tackle each other and get rewarded?!), we headed off to bed, and Hannah's final comment of the night was, "Mom, can we eat like this every night?"
Here's to this time next year!
