CAN WE PLEASE HAVE ANOTHER SUPER BOWL?

You know how much Bebo and I love the Super Bowl. For several years now, he and I have had our own Super Bowl party. We started it when he was little. Man that kid is into some football! And gosh knows it comes natural cause he sure did not learn it from me! Each year we take great joy in planning out our party menu and watching the game. I always get the default team. He picks and I get the left over. I blogged about one of our prior SB parties here.



So before the game started, I got some toe nail painting time in. You still have to be girly even if watching a football game.



We made sausage balls and put them into the crockpot to keep warm.

We had ordered the Super Bowl popcorn package from Dale and Thomas and it came with this nifty glass bowl that can be used for future SB parties.


Doesn't that look so yummy?!?!?!?


We iced down our drinks so they would be cold cold cold thoughout the party.


Love those colors.


Brought out and filled the football shaped chip and dip platter. Bebo made a new bacon dip that was really good. Actually, you could put bacon on a piece of plastic and I bet I would eat it.

The chips are made at one of our local grocery store and they are to die for! The spices make the chips look like they have a great sprayed on tan.






Our new recipe this year was for homemade buffalo wings with a tangy bar b que sauce. We tend to like chicken without the bones so we used chicken strips.



The table is all set up and ready for the munching during the game. We each have our team that we are rooting for and are excited for the game to begin.


I look over at Bebo during the 2nd quarter. He has been really really quite and that is not like him AT ALL during a football game. There has been no traveling back and forth to the table of delights.


He looked up at me from his place on the couch and said, *I don't feel so good*.



Yep, Bebo now has the crud. He went to school this am but came home at 10:30. The school called later this afternoon to tell me that they are cancelling school tomorrow. Too many students and teachers are out sick.


We now have lots of snack food wrapped up and put into the freezer.

My team won.



But it is really hard to gloat when you opponent looks like this.

  3. Bless that sweet child's heart! And after all his work on the menu (which I could eat ALL of right now, no kidding!). I hope he feel better soon.

    Our school out in Beach Boy land has an almost 30% out sick rate. But the school goes on. Only because our teachers loves the homewirk more than any other country's teachers. That's why all the parents send their kids to school, fever and vomit notwithstanding!

    P.S. Your toes were gorgeous.

  7. awww...poor kid!

    Dang, now I'm REALLY hungry.

    I loved how you said you could tell he really felt bad when you picked him up from school yesterday - because he didn't ask to drive! ha!

  8. So, Super Bowl 43 party at your place? And we're all invited? :)

    I had to read this before I had lunch...now I'm even more hungry, and there's not a buffalo wing to be had in this little town. Which should be against city ordinances or something.

    Hope Bebo feels better soon! And those are some damn purty lookin' toenails!

  11. Hope Bebo feels better. And he didn't feel good at something he really enjoys.

    Terrible that so many are sick that school is called off. I have never seen that happen.
