Super Bowl XLVIII

I can't believe I only took one picture on Super Bowl Sunday.  This is it, Matty being silly at Grandma Debbie's.  We actually started out at the BDAC with Jeff Wood and his friends and family.  Connor and Kadee loved the big court to play ball on and there was tons of yummy food, but Matty and Kinlee were a nightmare.  They were into everything they weren't supposed to be, were both super ornery (which meant they were mean to each other and anyone else who dared come near them), and were just super busy.  Rory was busy talking and socializing so I chased Matty and Kinlee around until I was at my whits end.  The final straw was when Matty tipped over a glass table, luckily it didn't break, but I was beyond frustrated at this point and on the verge of tears, so I loaded up all the kids but Connor and left.  Rory wasn't very happy with me but I honestly felt like I couldn't stand another minute of chasing the kids around.  I started to cry and was headed to Wellington and I decided I didn't want to go home alone so I went to Debbie's house.  It's amazing what a change in perspective can do.  Once there, I immediately calmed down, sat on the couch and ate some yummy chocolate peanut butter bars and felt like I could breathe and my kids could be themselves.  Matty wanted to get in the tub the minute we got there so after he washed up he put on one of grandma's spare shirts and played the donkey game shown in the picture.  It ended up being a great night.
