Viva Espana!

Well, if you read my blog post from two days ago, you would be right in concluding that I am a happy girl today. Now to decide what movie I want to watch with my hubby. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The World Cup party was really fun. We had three couples here with their children and a good time was had by all (except Mike being disappointed in the outcome of the game). These are the cookies I made before the game. I am glad they are fairly accurate. My four year old neice asked me why the orange team was sad and why the red team was happy. She then proceeded to tell me that she was cheering for the yellow team, go figure. If you are in awe of my domestic greatness at these creations, don't worry, I really am not that clever. I got the idea to do the soccer cookies from my cousin who made some to cheer on Team England.


Mike and I make bets like this fairly often. They never include money, I guess because we only have a joint banking account. Do any of you ever make fun bets?

Being a good wife

Am I the only one who, after having a baby, tends to put my husband's needs in low priority?

My husband (Mike) is a huge soccer fan. He played in college and has played every season since he was a child, until this year. So with World Cup fever running high, he asked me if we could host a world cup party. I said yes.

Because of this, I spent the evening prepping food and fixing up the house. Mike helped tons. I really appreciate this about him. He is always (almost) willing to help me when I ask him to do something. I really need to work on doing the same for him.

I am cheering for Spain tomorrow and he is cheering for the Netherlands. To encourage a little fun rivalry, I made sugar cookies with gingerbread man cutouts and kitted them up! I couldn't resist giving the Netherlands team sad faces and the Spanish team happy faces.

We also have a bet between us. If Spain wins, I get an evening where he will give me a good back massage and we will watch any movie I choose. If the Netherlands wins, he gets me cooking his favorite meal, chicken lasagne rollups, and a back massage. I really hope I win. I am going to pick the girliest movie that I can!
