We used to totally look forward to football weekends in the fall, we always watched the Gators on Saturday and then NFL (Dolphins and Patriots, especially) on Sunday's. That was before kids. Now, we find ourselves checking the Blackberry for football scores on Sunday while we are in line for a ride at Disney World. How life with children changes things, huh?
