SuperBowlSunday

...is just another Sunday in our house. Our family is not, by any means, sports enthusiasts. The only time you will see Brooks or I cheering at a game (or even watching for that matter) is if one of the girls are playing.

Even though we are not into "The Game", it's a great excuse to get together and hang out with friends!

...not this year.

All three girls and myself have been fighting wonderful colds and an ear infection. This morning, Breck was still running a low-grade fever so we decided it best for me and the girls to stay home from church....bummer. No listening to that stud guitar player and awesome worship band rockin out today.

This also meant that we would not be going to Epic's Game Night either. Instead, we kept ourselves snug and cozy in the house....all day. We managed to stay in our pj's ALL DAY long, watch a couple movies (mommy may have taken a short cat nap), play with babies, pretend to be lions, work on Valentine's Day crafts, read lots o books, and create a few concoctions in the kitchen.

Here are a few pics from our day:


Taylor and Breck made homemade pizza for lunch


We all worked together to make some yummy Peanut Butter Chews


The girls used my eyeliner pencil to make themselves look a bit more realistic while playing lions





*please note Breck's mane around her face :)


We even managed to survive a couple power outages! The first one took place early on in the day so we did what anyone would do who wanted to stay warm and cozy....grabbed a big fleece blanket and a big stack of books and headed to the couch to snuggle and keep warm.

The second power outage happened just before I started to make supper. Since we have a gas stove, matches, and a few sickies in the house, we opted for good 'ol chicken noodle soup and saltines...by candle and flashlight.

The girls decided to work on their Highlight's word search while waiting for the feast to be prepared.


Not to worry....the electricity came back on just before heading to bed!
