Highlights of Superbowl XLIX

Happy Monday! 

This was a total fail Monday for us in the Metallo house. 

Angelo swears he woke me up at 6am but I have no recollection of that. I woke up around 7:30 am (the time we're supposed to leave for school in the morning), looked at both girls sleeping peacefully, and declared this a Stay-At-Home-Day! We didn't get to sleep until after 11 pm, so I thought the girls needed some extra sleep today. (I'm a cool mom) 

Our weekend was pretty quiet until Sunday.

Friday we ran and ate the usual pizza (#PizzaFriday).

Saturday Angelo went to work while I did stuff around the house. Then we did a 12 mile run Saturday afternoon, and went out to eat with some friends and indulged on burgers! 

The twelve miles was our last run for the month of January! We've completed 1 month of the #2015in2015 running challenge!! (Pats self on back then realizes we have 11 more months and 1781.8 more miles to go...)

For the Superbowl yesterday we had some friends over to eat, watch football, and chat. There were a total of 8 kids in the house and let me just say that Sophia's bedroom (where they played most of the time) was a complete disaster. I'm talking it looked like a hurricane ran through there and emptied out all drawers, bookcases, and play kitchen cabinets onto the floor.

Planning Our Superbowl Menu

This Sunday is kind of a big deal. If you don't know, whats wrong with you?! I kid...but really?!

Super Bowl XLIX (49) is happening in Arizona this Sunday. The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are going to battle it out on the field, and only one will come out a Champion. Who will it be is the big question! OR Is the big question, how will Katy Perry's halftime performance be?! Whether you're watching the big game for the football, commercials, or musical performances, there is something for everyone who is tuning in. 

While the football players are warming up all week with media and whatever else they get paid millions to do, the rest of us regular people (I say that in a loving way) are warming up our kitchens getting ready for some party food!

The Super Bowl is in four days and two days ago my husband decided he wanted to have a party. Guys don't know that their women put a lot of work into parties (big or small) or they just choose to ignore it. I'm a "I'm here for the food and commercials" type of gal when it comes to the game, so I know how important the game day menu is. In writing this post, it is forcing me to plan out my menu for the game. (It's a perk of blogging, I guess)

Our Superbowl Menu 
Buffalo Chicken Dip - {From EatLiveRun}

Sausage Dip {Sister-in-law's Recipe}
Salsa & Guacamole
Cheese & Crackers
Popcorn {Only because we have a huge popcorn machine for parties}
Vegetable & Fruit Tray
Cuban Sandwich Crostini {From CasaDeCrews}

Chicken Wings - ordering take out 
Shredded BBQ Chicken {to use for sandwiches or nachos}
Football Cake Pops {From CakePopsByLu}
Beer {duh}

Flashback: Nelpe with a football cake pop last Superbowl!

Well that's the plan, but I'm sure there will be many other things added/deleted between here and Sunday morning. Have to start somewhere. Friday morning will be my Costco run to load it up! 

What are you plans for football?

Do you watch the game for the football, commercials, or musical performances?

XOXO
