Football Sunday!

This past Sunday Chris went to a NFL football game so the monkeys and I were on our own for the day.
We had a great day full of adventures and fun. We started off the morning running to Kohl's to get a comforter to go on the air mattress my wonderful aunt was sleeping on so she would be a little warmer. Maggie, my aunt not my daughter, went to the football game with Chris and his buddies even though she was a fan of the opposing team. The next morning she said how excited she was to see the nice cozy comforter after being so cold at the game all day.
Yeah, when Chris goes to a game it is an all day affair. He leaves first thing in the morning to tail-gate all day and doesn't get home till very late.
But anyway, back to our adventures at home.
After Kohl's we headed to church. Yep, me and four kids, that definitely qualifies as an adventure. Ok, not really, the kids are usually pretty good at church. And they always love getting donuts and orange juice after church so we didn't miss that.
Once home, Ben went for a nap and the kids and I did some jewelry making.

I brought the jewelry "stuff" up knowing that they would want to join me even though this was more then just stringing beads like we have done in the past.

All three kids had a lot of fun creating jewelry to give to friends and family as Christmas gifts.

Oh, and Connor made some creations that he is trying to sell to people. I am not really sure what they are for but I think I may buy some to put on the Christmas tree! My little entrepreneur for sure.

I made Maggie the necklace and bracelet and she loves them!

Then we ordered dinner from a local pizza place and couldn't believe how quick they got it here. I kid you not, it was here 8 minutes after I ordered it! Yes, it was simple food and it's right around the corner but eight minutes, WOW!

And my kids that never care to watch football totally wanted to watch the game when they found out it would allow them to eat in the living room. Well Ben loves to watch football but the others don't usually.

They pretty much thought they were the coolest kids ever!

After they finished eating the three older kids went upstairs to watch a movie in my bed so I could watch the football game with Ben. It was a great game! Such a nail-biter for sure.

Then it was bed time for the monkeys and our day was done. It was a great day for the kids and I. Chris and Maggie, my aunt, said it was an awesome day of football for them!
