Most favorite gift of our 9 year old birthday boy:

When our youngest read about this game in his Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine, he was immediately sold. After playing the game with him, so was I. This boy loves football and this game brings the different components right to your fingertips. Now, while I am not a huge fan of 'football',  I did find the board game entertaining. You need just enough strategy and just enough luck to score the touchdown.

Designer Trail Mix...

This idea came from my fabulous neighbor Toni....

Before heading off on a wilderness hike with friends, we pooled various nuts, snacks, dried fruits, etc.. and allowed the kids to make their own "trail mix" for the trip.

Each hiker was able to personalize their snack.
Which made for several interesting combinations and
absolutely zero complaints.

Thank you Neighbor Toni!

Super Bowl Sunday ...

I'm throwing a Super Bowl party this weekend.

For those who know me, I realize this sounds strange. It's a little-bit like a vegetarian hosting a pig roast. But I'm a mother and mothers do crazy things for their children. So... I'm currently preparing for kick off.

My youngest boy has a passion for football. I'm not sure where it started, but it inspires him to run, and catch, and watch TV, and read anything remotely related to the sport. Of course, it's this last part that won me over.

This will be a Super Bowl/Family Party to celebrate my son's recent birthday. We'll have family, the football game, lots of food, AND games. I figure you have to have games at a party. Right? (Again... I'm a bit out of my range here, but I'm trying to go with it. Super Bowl experts: send me encouragement!)

As part of the preparation, this week my son and I sat together at the computer and came up with two games. I'm actually looking forward to Sunday. I know he'll be watching the game and I'll be watching him, but we'll both be cheering!

Here are the free game print-outs if your crew wants to play too:
 
#1 - Super Bowl Predictions
Before the game begins, each guest will record their game predictions (Which team will score first? Who will be ahead at half-time? Which team will win?) The individual with the most correct predictions at the end of the game wins a prize!
