• Feb. 4, 2008 - SuperBowl Sillies

Posted in Family

Life around here has been busy!  Between school, life, home, life, church, life, where is the time to blog?  lol

Quickly a few funnies from yesterday!  We never watch sports, even though I grew up with them.  But dh, being from upstate NY, had a sudden interest in the SuperBowl!  ;)  The children, because they are not used to watching sporting events, were full of questions.

My dc asked how many SuperBowls are played each year! (They are used to series, as in basketball, as in when the Spurs win!)

When we explained the "importance" of the commercials, they gave us a strange look.  Why would anyone watch a football game just so they could discuss commercials the next day?  We hadn't watched the SuperBowl in years. How long since the Cowboys played? lol  The commercials used to be novel, interesting, funny!  Last night I found them boring!  lol  The children couldn't understand the novelty, until a couple of good ones came through.  My favorite was the one about the football player (a Houston Texan, yee-haw!) who played oboe.  Today I saw the poll at our city's newsy web site for the best commercial, and I couldn't even pick out the one I liked.  In fact the ones they listed, I thought were, um, not worth listing. 

My favorite question was asked by 14yod.  "Why do they wear war paint?"

Oh! I love that comment about the war paint. We are not a football family but we watched a few commercials on the internet. LOL!

LOL-that's funny. I love the war paint comment. We're not into football or commercials, so didn't watch it. We didn't even know it was superbowl sunday until we got to church. Holly

We went to our friends' house for the Super Bowl. We figured only we were crazy enough to put 5 active boys under one roof and still try to watch the game. (The hubbies were much more focused on the actual game.) *shrug*

It started snowing and dumped more than 5 inches of snow during the game. That makes for a fun ride home. :'P

I found out a few days before which teams were going to play. *lol* I also liked the oboe commercial! *grin*

The war paint comment was funny! I was happy to see that the commercials were-um-cleaned up a bit more than I've seen in previous years. I liked the oboe one, too!

We really like watching football games around here. And that game was a great one, wasn't it?!? I didn't get to see many of the commercials because I was in the kitchen serving plates, cooking, etc. :( But I'm not too disappointed. I agree with you that the commercials aren't as good as they used to be. Take care, my friend!

About Me

Gardens thrill my soul. My senses awaken, my soul is refreshed, my mood calms down...and if given time for quiet ponder, I've enjoyed the sound of buzzing bees while collecting pollen, the delightful croak of shy Mr. Toad, the exuberant flutter a hummingbird near my face thanking me for scrumptious flowers, and the gentle touch of the butterfly who settles on my shoulder. I've been known to walk into the house with my hair showered in lavender crepe myrtle blossoms and my clothes covered in blue plumbago blooms. Picture a rustic wrought iron bistro set with floral cushions and gingham pillows under a crepe myrtle dripping in blooms. I've set out some tea. Come and sit with me while I catch you up on the latest of the happenings in my family. Welcome to my garden.
