Super Bowl -- Super Boys

All 3 boys, the husband, 2 dogs, and I are having our own little family Superbowl party. We've got a big tablecloth across the big ottoman and are eating lots of snacks in the living room, this being a special occasion. Some are cheering for the Steelers, some for the Cardinals. 2 minutes before the half, and it's still a game.

I must admit, though, that I was kind of hoping for a clear winner by halftime. I'd like the boys to head upstairs for their baths at 7:00 and go to bed thereafter, without feeling like they are missing anything. Tomorrow morning at 8:00 two of the boys have testing. I'd like for them to be rested.

On the other hand, the next time we watch a Superbowl together, they'll be one year older, a couple of inches bigger, more sophisticated, and one year closer to leaving home. Maybe I'll let them stay up until 2010.
