Clothes washing and babysitting

This last Saturday, I did some babysitting and clothes washing. Also, Maddie stopped by in the afternoon for a visit. Of course I couldn't let this event go by without pictures.
Enjoy..

Some funny pictures....

Shhhhh......The Princess is sleeping

This last weekend I found out that little Irelan likes to sleep on my recliner. It seems to fit her like a glove...not. For whatever reason, when I lay her on the recliner, she stays down for a while.







And also a couple of pictures of her awake.

Super Bowl - the good.....the bad.......the ugly

The Good:

My family and I watched the Super Bowl at my siter in laws house with a big screen tv. I thought most of the commercials were great Bud Light really did a good job this year. It was nice seeing the family and just really eating this big feast that everyone prepared.

The Bad:

I was actually excited watching the game - for the first 10 minutes only. After that, my emotions went from "well, we're still in the game" to "oh my God, what is going on with the Bears - someone shoot me". The game isn't too hard to break down.

Defensively we were unable to stop the Colts. Everytime the Colts needed a first down they got one. Everytime the Colts needed to run they got good yards. Everytime they passed the ball it seemed to be a completion. Indeed the Colts passed the ball over forty times which was the way to beat the Bears. The defense was unable to stop the Colts at all. It looked like we were playing "prevent defense" which is not the way to play in the Super Bowl.

Offensively, we were just anemic the entire game. Rex Grossman certainly stands out for his interceptions and fumbles, but the running game didn't get going at all. It seemed like every time Thomas Jones or Cedric Benson got the ball there were about four or five Colts to stop them.


The ugly:

If your name is Grossman, it's not going to be pretty scene in Chicago. Most Chicagoans wanted Grossman out but Lovie had faith in him and kept him in. For whatever reason, I think that was the right move. Rex got you here and it would be suicidal to put someone new in now. Although, I would think that Rex is probably contemplating suicide as a better fate than facing the Bear fans.

There's always that famous saying that Chicago fans are very used to "wait till next year". Hopefully, the Bears retain most of their personnel and maybe next year will be a better year for us. For now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll go hibernate.....not. Go Cubbies!!!!
