A Spring day in Alaska.

By -
We've been having really nice weather the last few days. It is supposed to stay in the 40's this week. We should get some good melt off these kinds of temperatures. We decided we wanted to do something really fun and exciting, so we loaded the girls up:

Savage #2, who by the way, stole Autumn's animal crackers and dumped them ALL over the back of the Jeep.

We headed out looking for an adventure.

Autumn was afraid of this particular adventure.

I, however, thought it was pretty.

I guess the loud noise it made sort of freaked Autumn out. To be honest, I screamed like a little girl, it scared me too!!

After having our fun with purple smoke, we headed home to do some clean up in the driveway.

Autumn washing the Jeep.... or spraying me with the hose.

I know this is random, but I discovered this picture in the midst of all my outdoor pictures. Autumn stole the camera, went inside the house and took a picture of my alligator (Sean gave me when we were dating).

Back to outside!

Emelia riding the bike.

Autumn's turn. She has been carrying dinosaur around and that pink bar (from off of her shopping cart) has been used as a bow. She rubs the "bow" over dinosaurs nose and sings "music, music" over and over. I can admit, sometimes Autumn is strange. I call it the Jordan syndrome.

Emelia cracks me up with her devious grins.

How do you brighten up spring in Alaska? With fake flowers of course!

Photobucket
It amazes me how Autumn can go from glaring at me to

Photobucket
Not glaring at me in a matter of moments. 3 to be exact!

Those mountains in the distance, that is what I'll miss the most about Alaska.

Hope you had as much fun on our adventure as we did!

Glad that ya'll are getting a start on Spring in Alaska! Hope you get to do all the things you want before you have to pack up. Maybe you'll escape the mosquitos though. Looking forward to all the pictures I'm sure you will be adding as you finish your Alaskan adventure.

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...
