84 is hot when you do not have A/C!

We've been really busy the last few days and really enjoying this weather. This is the best summer we've had so far. Today, Autumn and I invited my neighbors Eli (3.5) and Izabelle (2) to go to the concert on the lawn at the library.

We packed a picnic and headed over to the library. Once we got there and got settled, Autumn was enjoying some goldfish out of a ziplock bag, when she dropped a few and before I knew it, the birds were after all the kids. It was somewhat comical.

We danced and listened to the music and before long, all the kids were red faced and I knew it was time to call it a day.

When we got home, Amber and I set the pool up in the front yard and brought out hot water from the house. OK, so what if it is 84, the water from the hose is like 40 degrees and it is COLD!!! We filled up the pool and let the kids have at it.

Autumn was having a blast!

I cannot tell you how many times she went down that slide!

Eli and Izabelle were having a good time too!

Eli is so sweet to Autumn. He calls her, "my Autumn". We sure are going to miss them when they leave.

We let the kids play their little hearts out. I could tell Autumn was about done in, so I took her in, washed her down and barely got a diaper on her before she knocked out. Izabelle had the same idea, but look where she fell asleep:

What a cutie! We had such a great day. We are looking forward to story time at the zoo tomorrow. Hope everybody is enjoying this Alaska weather, it won't be around for long!!

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...

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...
