Super Bowl XLII of 2008

The Super Bowl is a huge and major production in our house, we either have always had a party or have gone to one. This year it happened to be our year to host one. Paper supplies had been purchased, drinks had been chilled, and everyone who was coming was supposed to be bringing an assigned dish, everything was smooth sailing until I got the flu. Hubs declared on Thursday that we really needed to cancel the party because no one elses needed to get sick. I agreed so emails were sent out as well as phone calls.

Sunday morning hubs went to church with baby while Claire and I stayed home and rested a bit more. While having a lazy Sunday afternoon, hubs decided we did at least have to have pizza for dinner in order to maintain some sense of football fever. Did you know that if you order from Dominos before the rush starts they will GUARANTEE your delivery? It is the cooloest thing, we called at 2:10 and asked that our pizza be delivered at 5:30 and they said it was guranteed. At 5:29 I was standing in our front room waiting for the pizza man, when I noticed a familiar face pulling into the driveway....I was perplexed and went and got hubby who laughed. It turned out they didn't check their email!!! They felt terrible for coming but we really didn't mind so we insisted that they stay and have dinner with us.

The adults had great fellowship and the kids had a blast painting, luckily I have been planning on painting the kitchen so this is now giving me a push to hurry it along.

This years super bowl wasn't what we had expected but it was better than expected and we are thrilled that they came!

****Dominos called at 5:30 and apologized for being late and he said he would be there in five minutes and it took him about 3 minutes. We told him not to worry because we really were not sure how this guarantee thing would work anyways. We do not usually do Dominos but after such terrific service yesterday we will be using them more often and especially on special event days.****
