we aren't exactly what i'd call a "sports" family over here ...
and although they are 100% dedicated to their skating each winter ...
and their sailing each summer ...
team sports have never been a favorite for the ladybugs.
so the whole culture of team sports just isn't a part of our lifestyle ...
thus it seems somewhat ironic that we live in what might be
the #1 sports fanatic town of all times ...
manbug is certainly dedicated to his hometown teams ...
he grew up here in 'titletown' with two brothers to share it all with -
back in the heyday with boston legends like bobby orr, larry bird, and cam neely ...
how could he not be?!

but without any sons, i think poor manbug
figured he would be all alone when it came to rooting for his hometown teams ...

but somehow, the manbug was able to bring our youngest up as a diehard Patriots fan ...
you might recall that her big christmas gift last year was a pair of tickets
but our season ended shortly after that game last year ...
another year of heartbreak ...
it's been all about the heartbreak ever since that dreaded superbowl loss in 2008 ...
in fact, we still cannot speak of that game -
it still stings ...

so you can only imagine the anticipation as our Patriots advanced
with each passing january weekend this year ...
only to arrive at the final four this past weekend ...
excitement abounded!
excitement abounded!
so little ladybug channeled her energy as only she can do ...
it's a patriots floral arrangement ...
made from her own drawings fastened to pipe cleaners and arranged in a vase ...
the #12 jersey, the super bowl trophy, a helmet, the pats logo ...
and, of course ...
football flowers ...
an artist and a football fan all at once ...
how can you not love that?!
soooo hoping that the Patriots don't let my little ladybug down on super bowl sunday ...

I love the floral arrangement. How cute is that?! Very, very creative. My best friend's husband is a die hard Patriots fan. He is from Fall River, MA. I know he is very happy right now!
Go Pats. . .ok, so I never cheer for the Pats:) But I am sooooo glad that the Packers aren't in the Superbowl, I might actually cheer for the Pats!
yeah pats! can you believe the weather today?? :)
Brady has the cutest little Patriots jersey with BRADY on the back when he was 2 1/2. I still have it.
LB is so creative! Only she could come up with cute football flowers!
I hope the Patriots come through, that arrangement is a stellar tribute.

Oh my gosh! It's like the girl version of what goes on over here!
We are not team sports people here either. I have no idea who's in the Super Bowl. I never know. I just like an excuse to eat cheese dip.
Go Pats!
The slashing out of the housebroken puppy made me laugh. Oops... Your house with it's creative outbursts reminds me of ours. Just a few years ahead of you : ) The Agronomist was watching his hockey allstar updates on TSN this morning, while the girls were checking out Pinterest. The poor man : )
