Movie was a success.

By -
Autumn loved the Princess and the Frog. It was such a joy to see her have so much fun. She sat in her own chair (partly to her demise)- it collapsed on her twice and she got REALLY stuck one of those times! When she couldn't take all the excitement anymore, she would stand up and dance, clap and sometimes yell at the movie screen. She was entertaining everyone around us. The part that amazes me is that she always shows the right emotion at the right time in the movie. When there is a scary part, she is scared, happy part, she is happy, etc. You will have such a good time when you get back taking her to see a movie.

When we walked out of the theater, Autumn bumped into some pals. Unfortunately, this is the only picture I snapped off before some kids came and bullied Autumn out of their way.
Alvin, Simon, Theodore.
Autumn was hugging, kissing and chatting with the Chipmunks. It was pretty comical.

We stayed in most of the rest of the day. Autumn and I are coming down with colds. I gave her some Benadryl and reloaded her vicks in her room, hopefully she gets a good night sleep.

I wanted to show you how Autumn "re-organized" our silverware drawer.
Organizational skills.
She must have got her organization gene from you. Can you imagine my surprise when I went into the drawer for a fork and that was what I found? Good thing you aren't here because you would have totally been blamed first!

I have to tell you, I'm considering skipping Christmas. I just think it is too sad to have Autumn open her Christmas gifts without you. I don't know if I have the heart to do it without you. I don't know.

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...
