What do we do on Monday Nights?

Monday nights, this time of the year are a very busy, productive time for us. We run for 15 miles, then go to a soup kitchen and serve the homeless, then we organize our pantry, then we make a meal of tabouli with a nice spring salad.

Wait...maybe I am exaggerating a little bit. We actually don't always organize the pantry, sometimes we organize the coat closet.

Wait...you know what? I cannot lie any longer. We are a very typical American family and I am not ashamed!!!
On Monday nights we sit on the couch and watch Monday Night Football!!!
Last night was definitely no exception, I mean who could not watch Brett Favre play his old stomping ground, Green Bay? It was a great game and a lovely night, even though we ate pizza instead of Tabouli and spring salad.


Shorty, our dog, like usual sat on the couch with us. He gets irritated when we yell at the TV while watching football, as you has no trouble hearing.
Peter came over with his crutches and he forced me to serve him beer and pizza since he still cannot walk. I then in turn made him hop on one leg to the kitchen before he left and put all the glasses in the sink. Not sure if he will ever come over again.

As you can see, Matty gets a little irritated with the camera flash.

Peter brought over his dogs, 2 big yellow dogs that weigh about 40 pounds each. Usually these large dogs are continually growled at and beat up by our 2 dogs that weigh about 6 pounds each. Hmmmm....

Steve saw that I was trying to take a cute picture of all the boys taking a drink while watching football and he quickly tried to ruin it. He thinks he is so funny- whatever.

Matthew is really starting to watch football, kind of. He definitely knows when football is on the TV and he knows that he should react when the people on the screen are moving. He often will throw his arms up in the air and yell, "Ohhhhhhh!!!" or "Yay!!!" He just is not so sure when to react, he will often yell "Yay!!" when the team we are routing against scores or when there is an instant replay. None the less, Steve and I are very proud of him for trying to be a part of something Steve and I like so much, football. I pray someday he will spend his fall and winter Monday nights sitting on the couch watching the age old tradition of Monday Night football and will fondly remember the days he did it with his mom and dad.
