How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

The Anti Super Bowl Sunday

in Uncategorized on

Hubby is still away on his “work” trip.  For the first time maybe ever, I find myself with no plans for Super Bowl Sunday!  Am I sad about this?  Not really.  Usually we are the party throwers and the organizers of the parties. (although we haven’t been very good about it lately)  As much as I love being the hostesses, I have to admit I hate the cleaning that comes with it.  Lazy?  Maybe,  So no cleaning, no cooking, no party!

So what’s a girl to do on Super Bowl Sunday, her Hubby away and two pre-teen girls to educate on the finer points of football?  Have an Anti Super Bowl Party for three of course.

Here’s the plan:

Football game turned on so we don’t miss any of the important stuff.  You know, the commercials and the half time show. 

During the actual football throwing and catching part we will do the fun girl stuff!

-Finger nail painting

Football Nail Art

-Cookie Baking.  This idea from McCormick.com!

FootballCookie

-Mozzarella stick eating.  Love these ready to go numbers from M&M Meat Shops.

MozzaSticks

-On line Shopping…uh for warm clothes, because football is played outside and it’s cold out there, so all good fans need to be prepared with a new cardy (and maybe some boots and a scarf) ! No better place to shop then Banana Republic because this weekend they are giving a “Quarter Back”.  That’s 25% off and sticks to my football theme!

Yes, it is decided.  Nail painting, baking, eating and shopping.  This may prove to be one of the best Super Bowl Sunday’s of them all! 

Hope you all enjoy your day!  Oh and Go Manning!

    8. Well, you’ve certainly got the perfect anti-superbowl roster of activities, combined with a football-ish theme. You’re lucky you’ve got all girls or else you’d have had to suit up anyways.

    9. Sounds like a good evening planned… love it. We just stay home don’t invite or be invited. No biggie…. I can say that being a Brit living in the States.. no biggie!

    11. I’m glad we haven’t made a habit of going to friends’ house parties. I always end up feeling obligated to chat with the females and miss half the game. I like football, and basketball, and boxing….I don’t like playing housewife nice! 🙂 But when it works out like this for a woman who would rather not watch the game, I am equally excited for you as I am for me. Because we all should just be happy! (can I at least have a mozzy stick?)
