THE CRAZINESS HAS BEGUN

The Super Bowl planning started literally the second the NFC Championship game was over! I sat exhausted after putting both boys to bed and completely stressed out after watching the game go into overtime and then the phone calls and text messages start... LET THE PLANNING BEGIN!
All I wanted to do was go to sleep, but I was too pumped to even close my eyes!
When Chase got home Monday morning me and the boys were already up for the day so he brought us home IHOP, YUMMY, and we started making lists of who would get tickets, who wanted to buy tickets, what we needed to pack, when would me and the boys travel to Indy... and the lists and notes continued until I ran out of paper which eventually led to me making lists on Landyn's drawing paper (he was not happy when he saw me writing on his paper!!)

To be honest I know that the tickets and travel plans are important but... the first thing that I thought about was what am I going to wear!! So let me back up to Sunday night following the game and totally embarrass myself!! I immediately ordered shirts for me and the boys and had them sent directly to Leah Miller. Leah Miller owns Bella Artistry and creates/designs shirts, jerseys, outfits, accessories for professional athletes' wives and children. SHE IS AMAZING!! She has altered many jerseys and created one of a kind pieces for me to wear in the past and I knew she had to be the one to design for me and the boys! Another fabulous lady, Samya, owner of Firedaughter Clothing makes awesome shirts with athletic sayings. She created awesome shirts for all of the New York Giant wives last season for the breast cancer awareness game. So after the clothes were all ordered and shipped out I could relax a little LOL and move on to the next order of business... TRAVEL.

My mom will be traveling out to New Jersey to help me and the boys get packed up and then we will fly home to Ohio before heading to Indy. Travel... DONE!
Tickets, we get 15 and our list is longer than 15... who goes, can we get extra tickets, how much will extra tickets cost, who is willing to pay the crazy prices that these tickets are selling for this year??? So Monday and Tuesday consisted of Chase trying to catch up on sleep but at the same time trying to get all of the planning out of the way so he could start preparing for THE PATRIOTS!! Tickets... DONE (well for the most part!)
Today is Chase's day off so after watching film and doing a little work at the stadium he came home to relax and play with the boys! I have been texting back and forth with my sister, Kaylee, who is house sitting for us. She is trying to prepare the house for me and the boys so I am sending her grocery lists and to-do lists... POOR GIRL she didn't know what she was getting into by watching our house... but then again she is going to the Super Bowl so I think we are even!!
After Landyn went down for his nap Chase sat down to do a phone interview and I finished feeding Bentley when the next thing I know (mothers you will laugh at this, fathers you might too, the rest of you readers might want to skip this part!!) Bentley poops a massive amount that warmed the part of my leg he was sitting on... I turned to Chase and said that one went down his leg, I know it, it's definitely out of the diaper!! So as Chase begins a phone interview he starts off by saying sorry I missed your first call my son just had a huge blowout!!! So that is my funny/nasty story of the day... but really just a typical day in the life of any mother with a 12 week old!!!
