It's Football Season! Time to Dress in Purple

At least the end of summer brings something to look forward to - Football Season!  We hold a lot of Purple Pride in our household.  I love my Vikings and I love eating good food and having a few cold beers and playing some football in the basement with the kids.  It did take a little bit to get into the season this year with them being in a lock out.  It seemed to come rather quickly and we were too busy to catch any of the preseason games.  I think its going to be a little hard to get behind our new quarter back as well, Donovan McNabb.  It just seems odd that he will be in Purple and Gold.
I usually get up on Sunday morning and start cooking lunch and snacks for the game and by 11am we are in the basement and ready to go, but this year will be a little bit of a challenge.  Katelynn is now in Sunday school and she starts at 9:45am and I go to church while she is in class.  By the time we get home its already kick-off time.  Dan has taken over a couple weeks of the cooking duties, but I am missing my big spread of snacks.  I love when the kids get into the game.  This usually happens when I am sitting on the couch or barely sitting on the couch yelling at the TV and then they mimic me, but I still get a big chuckle out of it.  Katelynn is not into the games as much this year and sometimes chooses to hang out in her room and play with her barbies or my little ponies.  Junior is funny.  Every time he sees football on TV he assumes its the Vikings and starts cheering.  He usually runs around the living room playing and then all of the sudden he will stop and watch the game and is completely into it.  He loves to throw and kick the football and I have to say he has a pretty good arm.  I am hoping for a quarter back in the making!  (Which he will need to be because the poor boy can't catch anything).  I keep trying to talk Dan into going to Minneapolis for the Vikes vs. Broncos game because I think that would be a blast, but with a Disneyland Trip coming at the end of January I think a Vikings game this year may not be in the cards for me.  It seems to be every other year now that I get home for a game.  Here's to a fun and exciting season of Football!  The Davids' household is ready.

Katelynn had to have a new jersey this year because she won't wear her Brett Favre jersey anymore
since he doesn't play, funny girl!

My little Quarter Back!
