A Different Super Bowl Sunday
OK, so it’s not like I missed the whole game, but it was a different Super Bowl experience this year. I’ve always been a huge sports fan, especially the NFL, and I don’t think I’ve missed a Super Bowl since I was 10 years old. When else do have the excuse to eat chips and dip for dinner? Smile
For the past 7 or 8 years I’ve been hosting a Super Bowl party, and this year was no exception. But boy, what a different crowd . Usually no one is under the age of 21! But yesterday, our home was filled with little ones running all over the place. Tough to watch the game when you’ve got to be worried about who’s hand just went into the guacamole!
I’ll admit, I snuck away from the kids long enough to see some great plays. And my daughter was the hit of the party with her touchdown pose every time we yelled “touchdown”. Mommy’s little girl.
I guess it’s something to get used to for the next couple of years. Funny how as soon as you suddenly have kids, you also have new friends, who also happen to have kids. But hey, that’s what the whole “mommy” community is about!
I can’t complain too much, the team I was rooting for won. And from I’ve read today, the game was pretty boring for those who were fortunate enough to be able to sit down and watch the whole thing. Now, if I could just recover from this junk food hangover!
Disco Baby San Francisco
I’m kind of bummed we missed this. I had no idea it was even happening in SF this past weekend. For all of those parents who feel like they now miss out on the life they used to enjoy so much, here is an idea to at least experience one aspect — with your kids in tow! Sounds like moms, dads and kids enjoyed the day and it was a huge hit..
They were fighting in the lobby, peeing in the hallway and nodding off on the dance floor.
It wasn’t the kind of behavior the burly bouncers standing watch over the velvet rope at Ruby Skye, a sleek nightclub in downtown San Francisco, usually tolerate. On Saturday, however, they were simply outnumbered.
Baby Loves Disco, the monthly traveling dance party for swivel-hipped toddlers and their culturally deprived parents, had rolled into town. Shortly after the doors opened at 2 p.m., the place was so packed that Sarah Mallace, who was working the list, had to get tough.
