SEA ya later!

Best Mom Ever or Stark Raving Lunatic?

Yes.

Let me preface this by saying that Jonathan is on night shift right now, when Daddy's on nights, we don't stay in the house. So what were we going to do today?

Well, go to the Seahawks Super-Send Off with 30,000 of our closest friends in Seattle, of course.

I admit it, this was one of my most daring ventures but it was SO worth it. We decided to go last night and while I tried to recruit some help in Aunt Lorny or Auntie B, they both had plans so I was solo. As solo as one can be with their three chitlins in tow. Jonathan offered to go with us this morning, but didn't even manage to keep his eyes open whilst offering because he was so tired. I'm sure he wanted to go and was not completely altruistic in is offer; however, the man needed to sleep.

The plan was to leave at 7 to be there by 9 but Coop decided to sleep with me at 12:30 and Jonathan's alarm decided to go off at 3 am over, and over, and over. By the time I rolled out of bed at 7:30 I was ready to climb back in and cancel the whole gig but they had made their signs the night before and I couldn't break their little green and blue hearts. The show must go on. 

This was serious business.

This is Coops pic of Russell. I am impressed. That's what mine would look like too.

We made it out by 8:30 and by some miracle of the I-5 Gods we hit SeaTac at 10:10. The traffic to exit onto the road was 2 MILES long but boy, did it have team spirit! I trusted google maps to find us another route and it/he/she came through with flying colors. We made it with at least 15 minutes to spare and saw our boys off with style.

The finished project, held up by a helpful fan.

I obviously wrote the words (tapping into my Student Council days) but Coop added the drawings and wrote his name on top. These kids are WAY smarter than I was at this age, I wouldn't have it any other way ;)

Thatcher was ecstatic, Cooper was maybe a little scared, and Harpie was just pissed that I had her in the front carrier. At one point, I had H on my front and Coopster on my shoulders...because I'm BEASTMOM.

I had my jersey on backwards! And H was like this the whole time. I didn't mean for this to be black and white. I was off my rocker today. We both were.

Thatch held his little sign up and the really nice people next to us let him up front so the players could see him. He said he saw Russell Wilson give him a thumbs up and who am I to not believe his account of the story? Go Thatchtastic! I did see Pete Carroll though, riding in the front and that was fun! Makes me wish I had some gum.

I tried to video it but I turned it off, rather than on, but in my defense (which I say a lot, I need a new phrase or to start getting things right) I had an almost 4 year old on my shoulders and a 2 year old on my front. We're talking about an extra 60 lbs people! Oh well, maybe next Super Bowl!

Afterward we went to Auntie Bs and had lunch together at Zeekes where the only one not to spill a drink was Harper and then played a little at Green Lake Park before H's cheeks got cold. Then we made the trek home, and everyone, except the most tired person, napped.

Overall, it was way fun and I hope to God they remember how cool of a person I am someday.

Love always,
S
