Ahhh... the love of my husband!

After a super hectic week and equally as hectic weekend my darling husband fixed the most WONDERFUL dessert for me last night. He spent the day as Mr. Mom... took care of Krystina, did laundry and cleaned the house (IT LOOKS AMAZING!) while I was judging beautiful people ages zero to 64! It was a 14 hour day of non stop glitter, fluffy gowns and big hair and SEQUINS!! There was a mom that was sobbing when her 4 year old won... I mean out loud sobbing! There is no money attached to this, no college scholarship... just a 7 foot tall trophy (WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THIS!) and a HUGE crown. Most of the little ones could barely hold their head up with the crowns... that was actually comical. I loved most of it, although I really HATE kiddy pageants. There was actually a three year old with bleached hair and wearing more makeup than me! How do you score this fairly, was she a beautiful girl... sure with 2 inches of makeup she looked like a porceline doll. So if you judge on that it just makes her win and the problem worse, but if you don't next time mom will just pile more on and again the problem is worse. It was really hard, but it did reaffirm me not wanting to put my beautiful daughter through that crap! I will just buy her the crown myself. Speaking of this. We got media sashes at our state pageant. Basically it's a piece of ribbon with your title screenprinted on it so that it's easily read from a distance. Well on Saturday I gave that to Krystina... she was in HEAVEN. She is always acting like my mini me. Modeling around the house, posing... and generally being a diva. So after watching my pageant it was no surprise that now she wants to compete. Hopefully my little sash will stop that want for at least 14 more years, that way she has time to develope a talent (preferrably singing) and then she can compete for Miss America and put herself through college.
OH WOW... totally got sidetracked. Anyways. After my 14 hour day I came home to warm homemade chocolate chip cookies and ICE CREAM! Oh my gosh. Grant put all this effort into making it a perfect night and I love him so much for little things like this. He is always giving me the most he can. I wish that he would see it as enough, although as human's I don't think we ever do.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday
