When I watch football, I really like it.  I grew up in a HUGE football house.  It was on CONSTANTLY.  My Dad was a high school football coach and then both my brothers played.  Football was IT-I actually get what’s going on-most of the time.  Now that I’m an adult, I don’t watch it all that often.  I do enjoy it but we never watch it at home and only catch it if my family, or Shaun’s family is visiting or the Superbowl.  Tonight’s game was RAD!  So fun!!! 

But first, let’s start with this morning. I heated up the pancakes from last weekend and topped them with Peanut+Flax butter, maple syrup, and banana.

It was a great breakfast to fuel my BIKE RIDE!!!

We got the road bikes out and road about 15 miles today-it was a start.  Shaun pulled Lu in the trailer.  She did great until about 45 minutes into it and then she had a complete meltdown.  She was wailing and screaming and there was nothing we could do.  We just had to get to the car as fast as possible.  Fellow parents were giving us “I’m sorry” looks and people who were not parents were looking at us like child abusers.  It was FAB.

When we got home, Lu and I had lunch.  Here’s her plate:

I had some hummus and peppers too (on a wet plate):

I also had half of a PB+J sandwich.  Lu ate the other half-she didn’t want her cheesy sandwich and instead opted for Mommy’s PB+J. She opted out of her green beans too.

While Lu napped, I ran errands.  I thought Target and Whole Foods would be relatively calm because of the Superbowl.  I was wrong.  People were trying to get everything done BEFORE the Superbowl so it was a madhouse out there!

We went down to my friend Laurin’s house. Laurin is from Louisiana so this was an important Superbowl for her.  Laurin and I met on a Mommy message board when we were preggers so our lil’ ones are a month apart in age.  Sophia is a month YOUNGER than Lu.  She’s about 5 inches taller and weighs 6 more pounds.  She’s 100% adorable.  Sophia kept trying to hug Lucy.  Lu wasn’t so sure:

They really did have a GREAT time together though.  They played for HOURS.

They wouldn’t stay still long enough to get a cut picture, so there you go 🙂

Laurin, being Louisianan, made some AH-MAZE-ING food.  I ate way too much but I don’t care.  It was FAB.  Lu LOVED it too.  She ate a ridiculous amount of food.  I couldn’t believe it when she kept asking for more-INSANITY.

The star of the night? Chicken and sausage jambalaya:

I’m not joking, Lu ate about 3 cups of this stuff.  There was also shrimp jambalaya:

Some, ridiculously good, cornbread (so worth the tummy ache it gave me):

Spicy Popeyes chicken:

Chips that were to die for:

Strawberries and cream (I did skip the cream):

SANGRIA!

Abita Beer from Louisiana:

Shaun’s gotten Abita in his Beer of the Month shipment before and LOVES it.

For dessert?  King cake:

No one had found “the baby” when we left ;) 

It was such a fun evening.  I can’t believe the weekend is already over 🙁
