Superbowl Sunday. My, this day has changed a lot for us. Basically since moving out on our own, we've held a big Superbowl party every year. We had all of our friends over, a big taco bar with tons of food, beer and drinks galore, and had so much fun hanging out with all of our friends. It was definitely something we looked forward to every year. This has changed drastically...actually, starting last year. We no longer host our party. It's just me, Christian, the girls and some kind of cheap take out. In some ways, it's perfect. I mean, there is no better company. In other ways, it's kind of a sad day. Remembering that "past life". Filled with a lot of people we don't even talk to anymore. People that have all taken different paths over the years. People we've had a "falling out" with for one reason or another. And, some people, that it's just plain hard to find time to get together. This whole thing weighed pretty heavy on my mind all day.
Really, today was a really productive day. Olivia's fever was nowhere to be found, but she did have some other, unfortunate, issues going on. After breakfast, we got right to our chores for the day. I started up laundry, washed our dishes (again, probably every dish we own), cleaned up the kitchen and did some general picking up. Christian cleaned the kitchen appliances and the entry way. It's SO nice being able to send the girls downstairs to play, and actually get some stuff done. Love it!
After cleaning and chores were done, Christian got ready, and was again off to help his friend out with his car. They are replacing the fuel pump in the car, so it was just the girls and me. We ate some lunch, and they were off for their naps. I spent nap time doing my workout, more laundry and just relaxing a little. Christian arrived home shortly after the girls woke up, and it was game time!
We cuddled up downstairs, watching the game, while the girls played in their room. We used the Davanni's voucher we'd gotten a few weeks ago (from them being so late with our order), so our dinner was basically free. However, they were again fairly late on delivery, my order was wrong and they forgot part of our order. So, we are officially done with Davanni's (delivery anyway).
The girls were right off to bed after the game, and I wasn't far behind. I watched "The Voice" premiere, and promptly fell asleep. Ready to start a new week...and, this week's goal, FIND A DAYCARE/PRE-SCHOOL! It will be done...
Here are some pictures of the girls...looks like they are getting into the football spirit :)
