FANS FOR A DAY



One of these pictures is what came up when I did a Google images search for "NASCAR fans" last night. The other image is how the Wife, the Little One and I dressed for a NASCAR themed party on Sunday for the Daytona 500.


Can you tell which is which?

Sunday's party was actually a birthday party for my sister's boyfriend, Uncle Matt. He was excited that his birthday fell on the same day as the big race, so we made a fun day of it.
Uncle Matt actually went out and bought a special Dale Earnhardt, Jr. outfit for the Little One to wear. So of course, the Little One drew Junior as his car to root for in the driver pool we had for the party, which the Wife happened to win, thanks to the performance of rookie Trevor Bayne.

It was a great time. Aunt Tara (my sister) went all out on the concessions. There were NASCAR Nachos, Pole Position Popcorn, Pit Crew Pretzels, Boogity, Boogity, Boogity Balls, and much more. If you don't know what a Boogity, Boogity, Boogity Ball is, welcome to the club.

It's a meatball named for the saying that former Daytona winner and current analyst Darrell Waltrip spouts at the start of each race. With that piece of knowledge, Aunt Tara proved she knew more about NASCAR than the Wife and I combined.

The Wife and I won for best costume, with a diaper-clad Little One putting us over the top for the victory. 

It was a great day all the way around. 

Happy Birthday, Uncle Matt!
