Christmas in October!

By -
Sean's mom and dad sent some Christmas gifts for Sean since he will not be on this continent for Christmas. Autumn had a great time opening the gifts.

More Christmas
Sean kindly allowed Autumn to open up the gifts and boy did she have a good time of it!

Christmas
She is much better at this than last Christmas!

Underwear
Where is Sean? He is underwear!!!!

OK, so we all know by now that Autumn's help is questionable. I have been searching high and lo for an all wood step stool so that when Autumn "puts" the silverware away, she can see in the drawer. Well today, Autumn solved this problem her self. Check it out:

Just when I think it couldn't possibly get any worse:

Really bad
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sitting in the drawer!

Moving right along, yesterday, Sean made us the most delicious dinner:
Photobucket
Pan Seared Loin of Lamb with Port Reduction Sauce and Garlic butter Sauteed Green beans, paired with a Merlot. It was delicious!! I ATE all the green beans!

Autumn didn't miss out either, she had:
Autumn's lamb
The same thing, but her meal was paired with whole milk. Autumn tried the lamb, but she did not like it. Actually, she reacted quite strongly in a negative manner about the lamb, but at least she tried it first!!

If you've read this far, now for the thing I've been holding out on:
World's Greatest Big Sister

In case you missed it:
Pregnant
I am about 9 weeks pregnant. My due date is May 25th. Autumn will be a big sister!

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...
