Are you ready for some Football!

So with J gone we are doing a low key Super Bowl Sunday, especially since we really don't have any stake in either team. The main reason for watching this year are the commercials, this may be the only time I use the DVR to rewind to rewatch the commercials and actually fast forward the main show. So the boys are enjoying their favorite type of day...Pajama Day. The boys are still in the Pjs and we are ordering pizza for super and staying in...it is still mighty chilly here and the older two boys seemed to have caught a good cough this past week.
We also do a lot of running around during the week with M leaving for school on the bus at 730 and returning at 245 everyday and J needing to be dropped off at his preschool no sooner then 9 and picked up no later then 12 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They complain they don't end up having much time at home together just to play...which some days is a good thing! I also spend much of my time out of the house with almost all Tuesdays having a MOPS function and almost every Thursday having a special Bible Study ("Loving Your Military Man"), so that leaves Wednesdays from 9-12 that I am down to only one kid to do any major household or grocery shopping without dragging screaming kids through the aisles. Hopefully N stays a good shopper and when the time comes that he is too big for the infant carrier he doesn't fuss too much about staying in the shopping cart.
I have also added to the routine going to the gym, which finally added a family workout area. One of the things I miss from our life back in Ohio was the wonderful family workout area that a good friend and her kids and my little tribe would meet up at. This one isn't as large or equipped as the other one, but it does have a TV/DVD player to pop a movie in for the older two and I haven't had to really wait for any of the equipment I wanted to use. Along with that and the Wii Fit I was able to snag at Target I hope to drop the last of the baby weight.
Super Bowl Sunday does remind me of when M was 9 months old and walked for the very first time, we were in a TLF in San Antonio and just moved out of Del Rio and starting our almost 3 months of being homeless and living in Hotels and a Condo. It was the year of the infamous "Wardrobe Malfunction" with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's Half-time show, hard to believe that was 5 years ago.
I hope to have some more pictures here shortly, our life is always busy it seems.

Let me know what you think of Wii Fit - there's no way I'm making it to the gym, and we need something!
