bear down, chicago bears...

I don't know I must be in the football mood... my friend Ellie just convinced me to sign up for a girl's flag football team. Our first game is Thursday! I know there will be unintential comedy galore, we'll see. Apparently these chicks are intense, they have plays! Hmmmm...

So with football on my mind I came across this picture last night. This is all of Brad's brothers and his dad wearing shirts I made them. They say "Ditka, Polish Sausage, Bears". I for one thought it was a clever ode to SNL, and what better way is there to win over your new in-laws then with sports paraphenlia?

By the way, while we are on the football track, it's probably appropriate I make a few shout outs:

--- To Chris for always providing us with a large screen viewing of the Bears games (whether in his own home or another)
.
--- To Chris's dog maggie for the amazingly foul smells she produces from such a tiny body during the Bear's games
.
--- To our sister-in-law Brooke (& Dave) for usually providing an amazing Sunday (and sometimes Saturday) meal for us... to prepare us for the Bears games
.
--- To Griese for not making a complete fool of himself, Tillman for his forced turnovers, and Lovie for his awsomeness... the whole season is now worth it since we beat the Packers (sorry Favre!)
