Penny pincher

By -
Autumn is our little penny pincher. I know she must get it from you, although I can admit that since marrying you, I would bend down and pick up a penny off the ground if I saw one. Autumn has the eye of a hawk though and can spot a coin on the ground 1/2 mile away. She brings them to me and we usually either put them in her pocket, purse or my wallet. I've collected quite a few from her, so I figured it was time to take her piggy bank down and show her what it was all about.

She has collected quite a few coins over the last few weeks.

Happy about it
She was happy to do it and even started clapping.

Autumn's hair
I put this photo in so you could see her hair! :-)

I went to spin class this morning and it felt really good. It leaves me pretty tired though. I took a nice nap today. It is nice outside, so Autumn and I are getting ready to don some snowsuits and get out in it. Probably just around the neighborhood though. Whatever storm we were supposed to get, it hasn't made its way here yet or it missed us completely.

We have a couple of exciting things coming up this weekend, one includes a dog sled ride. Crossing my fingers we get to do that. Can you imagine how much fun that will be for little Autumn?

I love you and miss you so much Sean. Your favorite wife and 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.

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...
