It's a little chilly out there.

Our weather seems to be holding out, but the winds rolled in this evening and the temperature dropped a bit. At least it is still sunny. Right now, the sunrises at about 5 am and is setting about 11 pm. If my math is correct, that is 18 hours of daylight. We are catapulting to the equinox. That is depressing to me for several reasons, but for now, I concentrate on the sunshine.

Autumn and I had yard work to do today. Unfortunately, I only finished the backyard. We will get around to the front yard tomorrow. Grounds inspections are on Thursday and we got a letter from the housing office saying they would really be cracking down during inspections. I am not worried as we always keep a nice yard, but we haven't done much with the yard this season. The grass is starting to green up some, so Autumn and I really had a lot of work to do and Autumn really wanted to help.

Cutting the grass and talking on the phone
Apparently her cell phone doesn't get good coverage either. She is a girl after my own heart, trying to cut the grass and talk on the phone at the same time.

Smiley Autumn
She can be so happy sometimes. Our herbs are looking good, but I am a little worried about my tomatoes Travis gave me. The overnight temperatures are still getting a bit low.

I was cleaning up Autumn's toys when I turned around and found her doing this:
Really bad Autumn
Standing up on the coffee table. WOW!!!

I told her to sit down:
Bad Autumn
Which of course led to:

Slip through.
Bad Autumn!!!!!! Day 5.

Tomorrow, back up husband (Travis) is coming over to re-thread the Weed Eater and Autumn and I have a special play date. I will give you the details about that later.

I am so ready for you to come home. I am looking forward to our camping trip. I love you.

Your Favorite Wife and Airman. xoxo

The Count:
Day 5
5 blurry days without you.

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.

Playing with fire.

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...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
