Weekend recap: Super Bowl Edition!

Whatta game, whatta game!!

The game didn't end the way I wanted, but you certainly can't say it wasn't exciting to watch!!

That catch, 


that INT,


that freakin' walking lion Katy Perry rode in on! 

Too bad the commercials were so sad. We had some friends over to watch the game, and by the end of the night money was on the table. Not to guess the winner of the game, but for how many times I would cry at a commercial.

To backtrack some, our weekend started out as a usual #funfriday with me and my girls. Caroline dressed for the occasion. 

Like T-shirt, like girl. 


EllaKate wanted to "get her driver's license". 


Our Friday nights are always pizza and a movie night, and luckily I have a little sous chef that loves to help! 

We ate our pizzas and watched Frozen for the 47642nd time. 


After the girls went to bed, I decided to paint my nails. By Sunday morning, they looked like this:
Painting my nails myself is always a giant waste of time. 

Saturday was nothing but the gym and Super Bowl Party prep, so it was pretty low key. Nice for me, but by the end of the night, the girls were stir crazy, and therefore driving ME crazy. Not sure how we all survived, but we did, and when Super Sunday arrived, I was thankful that I had prepped so much on Saturday. 

Steve had to go out and run a few errands, and while he was out he went into our Pier One, which is having a moving sale and there are incredible deals to be had. He brought home some good stuff for our kitchen makeover, and also bought two lucky little girls some new toys. 

A Hoot for our little Hootie


And a puppy for our animal lover. 

Our Super Bowl Party was small but successful. No pictures of attendees, but a good time was had by all. And I was even able to find some Seahawks colors in my closet!!

Have a great Monday, y'all!

Super Bowl Saturday!

No mistake. Just thought I would get a post up about our Super Bowl "party" in time to give any other reader some inspiration. I wish now I had done a Super Bowl Party Favorites yesterday and saved my fitness edition for another day, but ah well. 

I love a theme, but for the life of me I couldn't come up with anything that I really wanted to do. I thought about a Starbucks theme (since they're based in Seattle), but people can only handle so much coffee flavored food. Then I thought about doing a Patriotic theme, but I feel like there's enough of that between Memorial Day and 4th of July. Steve is a master brisket-maker, and he wanted to do one for Sunday anyway, so I stole Teri's Super Bowl theme and we're doing Tex-Mex. Is it weird that I almost always want Mexican food with football? I have a Taco Dip that I make for just about every event we have, so that plus a brisket sort of lent itself to a Tex-Mex theme. 

Also, I really couldn't care less about the Seahawks or the Patriots, so...

#blah

They eat Tex-Mex in Arizona, right? 

Good grief. I could write a dissertation on the most ridiculous stuff. 

The Menu:

Steve's Famous Brisket
with Andrea's Famous Brisket Sauce




Touchdown Taco Dip






I made two since they were fairly small. 


Thinking of making some kind of signature cocktail, too, but that's probably going a little overboard. Probably just beers and Diet Cokes.

I will update this post with pictures once everything is ready. One more sleep until the Super Bowl!
