Lipstick Monster

I am very thankful for Matt's job.  Because of his job I'm able to stay home with the kids and raise them...make home-cooked meals every day...live in a nice home...provide for the kids... and live comfortably.  I never want to take it for granted! Matt's job wasn't handed to him though...it's because of his hard work he has gotten to where he is today. I am so grateful and proud of him :)

The past two days our computer wasn't working. It ended up we just needed a new battery. When it stopped working I thought my life was over. ha...not really but I was upset! I'm a total blogaholic and facebook fanatic, so not being able to get on the computer, I felt disconnected from the world! The computer does distract me from things I need to do though. After I got over the fact I wasn't going to get the computer up and running, it was actually nice to get extra stuff done around the house and spend more time with the kids. It's amazing how much technology runs our lives!

Adeline and Ryder are both doing really well! Ryder is such a sweet baby boy :) He is growing up way too fast!  He army crawls everywhere and is so close to crawling. He's been pulling himself up now to his knees. He recently started imitating...when I blow bubbles he will, and when I click my tongue he does it. He's always smiling and giggling and he loves playing with his sister! Adeline can be so sweet and funny, but is definitely showing her rebellious side. Yesterday, she was supposed to be taking a nap. I hear her door open and she steps out and goes, "Arrrr, I'm a monster!" and then I see lipstick all over her face and hands. She had snuck out of her room when I wasn't looking, grabbed my make-up bag, and used up all the chapstick and lipstick.  It was all over her sheets, bed frame, door, and herself. That was not fun cleaning up! Hoping this rebellious stage doesn't last forever!

I made a delicious caramel apple dessert today.  I will post the recipe soon!
