Blue and White Sunday

Yay! Sunday morning when we awoke, there was a layer of snow on the ground! It is the first of the season. Up to now it has been unseasonably warm and we wondered if we'd even see any snow this year. But it finally came and we had probably 2-3 inches. My boys LOVED it. They spent four hours out in the freezing temps building a snow fort. They named it Echo 1 as on the Star Wars planet Hoth. (I'm not up on these things, but I'll bet some people know it.) By the time they had the fort done, there was almost no snow left on the rest of the yard. Here's a picture of the fort and my two older boys:



Also, it was a "Blue" Sunday. The Colts are going to the Superbowl!! This is really cool. We watched the playoff championship game last night and the Colts waited until *literally* the last minute to squeak by the New England Patriots 38-34. So in two weeks we will be facing the Chicago Bears in Miami for the Superbowl. Today at school the teachers were talking about getting tickets. One friend of mine said she and her husband had their names drawn for tickets from the pool of season ticket holders. BUT last week flights to Miami were around $200. As soon as the game was over last night, plane ticket prices to Miami were going for $1000 a piece. Who has that kind of expendable cash lying around? Anyway, we'll be watching it on TV like we do every year, but this year I'll actually care who wins!!

GO COLTS!!
