I'm coming down with something. It's pretty contagious too. I get it about every two years. OLYMPIC FEVER! Are you as excited we are for the Winter Olympics? We can't wait! I felt like we OWNED the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. We watched every last bit. Of course we didn't have school while they were on, so this time around it's going to be a little harder to make time for all the Olympic glory. So I'll share our secret to enjoying the Olympics as a family...

We eat dinner in front of the TV.

Gasp! I know. So tacky. Ha! The only other time we do this is for American Ninja Warrior. We have little wooden TV trays we set up in our family room and we enjoy dinner while we watch. If waited until after dinner to watch we would either have to cut it short for bed time or keep everyone up waaaaay too late. That's no fun for anyone the next day.

Here's how I'm prepping to take in all the action and cheer on Team USA. Like any good American, I grabbed some limited edition Olympic Oreos. I also have a jar of patriotic sprinkles ready to put on anything that comes my way.

If devouring a bag of Oreos was an Olympic event, my family would take home the gold.

Who wants to do dishes when bobsledding, luge and curling are on? Not me. I grabbed plastic plates in the colors of the Olympic rings which matching paper napkins.
