The Family That Watches Football Together…

…watches football together!

The Bills are playing a pre-season game tonight. They’re totally sucking, but that’s not my point. Carrie remembered that when you watch football you (sometimes) get to shout “Touchdown!” (arms up, of course) and was pretty excited to watch football. I wish I’d had a camera on a remote set up in the family room, because Denis, Carrie, Molly and I were all sandwiched on the couch, and Murphy was curled up on the ottoman we pulled up to put our feet on, and all of us were snuggled together watching football.

That lasted for an impressive 7 minutes.

Then Carrie decided Murphy wasn’t close enough to pet, and her antics to try to get to him disturbed Molly enough that she decided she’d had enough. Then Carrie wanted Molly to come back and “Lie down couch!” and…well, let’s just say the evening ended with Carrie crawling around pretending to be a puppy and the dogs going nuts. She was so wound up she’s still awake and kicking (literally – she’s kicking the side of her crib) almost an hour after I kissed her goodnight.
