Super Bowl Madness!

Hope everyone had an exciting and fun Super Bowl Weekend!
Did you enjoy the Destiny's Child Reunion as much as I did? But seriously...who didn't know they were going to join her onstage, am I right? I mean, it was all over the news!

Friday after work, Ben, Tyler and I met Jared, Melanie and the kids for dinner. We tried to go to Mellow Mushroom (packed), then we tried Taco Mac (even more packed), so we ended up at Johnny's Pizza off of Windward Parkway, and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was great, the service was even better and the kids had a blast playing on the video games. We will certainly be back there again.
We went out to celebrate Melanie and Jared selling their house. Since we used to live next door to them, we are trying to get them to move into our new neighborhood now! We'll see how their house hunt goes!
Signs that the market is coming back??? They listed their house and got an offer the FIRST DAY! Crazy right?

Saturday morning we hit the gym and the grocery store...then Jared and Melanie dropped the kids off with us so that they could go house hunting. Tyler and Maddie had a ball as usual, and I got some baby practice in Mr. Gabriel. That evening, we headed to Roberta and Mike's housewarming party and had a great time! Roberta knows how to host in style, and we are certainly glad to have them in our neck of the woods now! Tyler loved running around and doing his Darth Vader impression for everyone. (Where he got this obsession with Star Wars recently, I have NO idea)

Sunday, we officially entered "nesting mode." We spent the majority of the morning organizing toy chests and bedroom closets. My goal is to get all of the closets cleaned out and organized by the time Baby Jacob arrives. Sound so riveting right? We made major progress on Sunday though and Tyler even helped a little bit. My favorite part was sorting through his hot wheel collection. I asked him to pick out some cars to keep and others to give away. The only ones he was willing to part with were the ones with missing wheels. My apologies to Goodwill on that one!

Around 3pm, Ben and I got to work on food for the Superbowl party. We made baked jalapeno poppers like last year (but this year we were smart enough to wear gloves) and I made Butterfinger cookies too!



At 6pm, we headed over to Jason and Leah's in our neighborhood for the big bash! Over 30 adults and children so a little chaotic at times but an absolute blast! We headed home in the 3rd quarter (everyone cleared out during the black out) and watched the rest of the game on the couch...just what was needed to end a eventful weekend!
