How do you show your support?

I'm not referring to underwire or demi-cup support either? Ha ha! How do you show your favourite athlete, sport and country your support during the Olympics? Did you buy the mitts? The sweater? Do you have tickets to ATTEND an event?

Aaron decided (and I agreed) that we should paint the windows with something Olympic. Now, we paid to have our penguins professionally done for Christmas BUT I'm thinking we might actually be talented enough to pull off something like this:
Or if we're feeling really brave, maybe even this:

Our backup plan is going to be this:
GO CANADA GO
As long as we spell it correctly, how can we screw that up?
The kids are really excited about this adventure. We walked to High Street to buy some tempera paint and of course there was none at the dollar store. Isn't there where you would go to buy cheap paint? No? You'd go to Michael's. Of course. Well, it was a nice walk in any case. We ended up with some Valentine's Day decorations to add to our collection.

Great Idea! What a way to keep the kids globally involved.

That's awesome!
Does wearing the official mittens count?! Not quite...
I've gotta think of something for our little front yard. Flags....maybe a hockey display if I can pilfer some from my husband's stash.

Love the idea, and love that you are doing it yourselves.

I do have the mittens, but I find if anything I just go crazy with watching it.
