A few events of the week:
"The Costco Incident"
We went to Costco one night and Amelia picked something off of the floor in the cold room where they keep the flower bouquets. I thought it was a leaf and told her to put it down and come out since we were ready to check out. A few seconds later she was pointing to her mouth saying "spicy." I didn't know why she would say that and looked back and saw the thing she had picked up was a cut hot pepper. What it was doing there, I will never know, but she started crying and saying spicy over and over so I ran to get her some water. By the time I got the water, she was in hysterics. She had touched her eyes and was now thrashing her hands on her face in hopes that the pain would go away, but she was only making it worse. Her face was getting redder and redder and even swollen. I tried to get her to drink water, but she was freaking out too much. The only thing we could do was get home quickly and run her face under water. She screamed almost the whole way home, but had calmed down by the time we got there. We got her in the shower to rinse what was left of the pepper and got her to calm down and go to bed. But the poor thing looked miserable. This picture was taken an hour after the event, and she was still red and swollen. Poor thing. I had never heard her scream like that and it broke my heart.
"Family Walk"
It was so nice to get out and enjoy the beautiful fall weather.
"Matt's New Shoes"
OK, these shoes have been a debate in our household. They are lime green and green with a blue Nike "swoosh." I think they are hideous, but Matt thinks they're cool. I must admit they do look better on and i guess since it's Nike, it's cool?
"Fun with Daddy"Amelia hung out with her dad a lot - going to the park, the zoo, the children's museum, out for walks, and just hanging out at home. It was so nice to have someone else do it for a change.
Of course, Amelia loved the petting zoo at the Zoo
watching princess and alphabet songs on YouTube with daddy"At Home with Mom"
As usual, Chase just ate and slept and when he was awake, he never made a peep - he just looked around the room. He's gaining over an ounce a day and now weighs 6lbs! Crazy. His looks are changing daily as he piles on the baby fat.
"Loving her Babies"Amelia had fun loving her babies
Morning Doggy
And so did I.

What a sweet little post! Isn't it SO wonderful when you have help at home?! There's nothing like it! Your little babies are SO precious! You look great by the way!
And, I love the shoes.
Poor Amelia! That pepper incident sounded awful... So glad you got some time with your little guy and a lot of help!! That is the best! I love all the pictures. What precious little kids! Hope your first day w/out help goes ok. We're thinking about you :)
Yo yo what up m-diddy dog. Them shoes is sick dude! Okay, Matt, they look like a shoe that some serious rapper would wear. I'm with you Angie, not my favorite! But I still love you Matt- just not the shoes...
the pics are so sweet. And isn't help after the baby great?!?! Milk it as long as you can...
What an angel Chase is to not make a peep when awake!! You totally deserve it. I'm so glad you had fun with Matt home, and I hope things are going okay with two babies and only one of you. I promise it does get easier...it just takes some time.
Also, I like the shoes. Maybe not the pose in the new shoes, but the shoes are cool.
I must say that I like the shoes! I was telling Matt on Sunday that you and I should go get a pedicure! I am taking quick trip to Utah this weekend but next week let's go!
Shoes are definitely cool...pepper not cool...little baby boy cool...let me know if you aren't sure if anything else is cool or not.

That precious ending made me cry. Angie, you are so lucky to have two healthy, gorgeous kids. Phew! What an ordeal. But they are wonderful, and all I want to do is see them grow in real life! It makes me sad that I can't. :(
