Because I'm a wonderer....

This morning I got all the school stuff compiled and placed into seperate bags marked A and E. I am hoping that helps Friday go a little smoother.

When I originally got the list, I didn't think it was that much stuff, but by the time you multiply it by two,

You are talking $148.55!!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!!

One thing that I really adore about our children is the way their minds work.

For example, this morning, Autumn brings me something.

Those are magnets from off our fridge. Autumn took a chair from the play room to the kitchen, climbed aboard and picked off the magnets she wanted to make a tractor she said. Can you tell it is a tractor? I thought it was genius.

See daddy?

I wonder what brought on this special moment?

Toe eater.

Perhaps this one was courtesy of the "Corpse Bride," one of our favorite movies...

Millie was eating her toes too, but I was slow in getting the picture.

Photobucket
Well, well, well... she'll just show you her tongue.

Some crazy Autumn dancing... wouldn't be a day in this house without a good chuckle over that.

We wrap up our evening with a trip to the bath tub. Sure is wild and crazy here on a Wednesday night!

I don't think these chicks EVER plan to move back to their bathroom....

I found Autumn like this.

So even though these girls make me wonder sometimes, I also know that at least they are unique and confident in their own thought processes. They don't just bow down to everything they are told or hop in line or shout out BAAAAA, like a sheep. Did they ever make you do that in basic training? Autumn was once asked by her cousin "Why do you talk like that?" and Autumn's reply was

"because shakin' my booty and frogs ribbit." Sure, Katelyn didn't get it, but I totally did!

I love you and miss you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
