Weekend Mayhem.....

This weekend was Pack the House night in Bramlage Colliseum.  It's a yearly event where tickets for the women's basketball game are only $1.  There are also select $1 concessions.  Favorites like popcorn, pretzels, and some other items which I can't remember right now. 


Two of our girls were going to the game with friends; we were given 2 free tickets, hubs and I were free to get it, so I bought three tickets.  Then we spent $56 on concessions.  How ridiculous is that?  It's insane!  But it was also dinner.  I never did ask how much the bottled water was, but I do remember it was 3.50 for a hotdog, and 4.00 for a sausage.  So...expensive.  


We lost to Baylor.  It was brutal.  Sad.  Painful.  We lost to a team who has a player that is so tall she looks like a running tree.  Loping down the court, she sways a little like a tree in the wind.  With her arms in the air...it's even more accurate a description.  The worst part about having a girl that tall on the opposing team is she just batted anything down.  Everything.  Not a single shot got over that girls head.  Oh, it was a hard loss.  To a packed house.  


The highlight of the whole game was that the Zooperstars were there.  They are hysterical!!  If you ever have the chance to see them, JUMP!!  Here is a pic from the beginning of the game.  

On Sunday, we went hosted a youth group Super Bowl Party at our house.  It was insane.  Last year, the group had more young men in it.  There was an interest in the game as well as the commercials.  During halftime, we played Wii games. It wasn't bad at all!  We enjoyed having spent the time with them.   This year, was a vastly different story.  There were 17 kids and 4 extra adults in addition to our family of 8.  It was loud.  There was fighting over chairs.  We had to trick the kids into going outside at halftime to get room on the couch for the adults.  I found cupcakes in the bathroom.  There had apparently been kissing in my daughter's room.  There was a girl who wanted me to tell my daughter to give her seat back.  I actually hid in my room during the second half and folded laundry for a bit.  Just for a little quiet. 

Here is a picture of the Insanity that prevailed in my house on Sunday night.  Thankfully, working in the video department we were able to youtube all the commercials this morning. 

Pic to follow.  When we find the camera!
