Olympic Party!

I think that one of the criteria for becoming "middle aged" is being excited about actually watching the Olympics.  Don't get me wrong,  I hopped on the Mary Lou Retton bandwagon and cheered on Michael Phelps many years ago.  

This year is different.  The next summer Olympic games will air the year I turn 41.  Say what?  No wonder it's this year that I actually looked up the schedule online to see what time my favorite sports and opening ceremonies are going to air.  Middle age train is chugging along!  In four years I may buy a collector pin.....

I thought about having a party on Friday - just with the kids.  Get them excited about something so culturally unified.  It's also a time to give them a taste of Patriotism.  

I stumbled across this store with great Olympic themed printable's.  If anything, this picture may get your creative juices flowing.  Maybe you will be inspired to have a little "Go USA" party of your own!
