Fall has arrived.

At least for the moment. When I dropped Autumn off to school, it was 50 degrees. The girls BOTH said they were cold. I'll admit it, I even wore my little fleece jacket.

This picture was from yesterday, but somehow was still on my phone.

These are the new houses down the road from us. I think there are 5 up already. Our neighborhood is going to look different to you!

After taking Autumn to school,

Millie and I came home and threw open all the windows. Man, it is so nice outside. 72 degrees in the house with no A/C running! I'm hoping we don't have to turn it on for awhile. I'm sure your wallet could use a little break.

N/Kip sent me a text message and said that she left in such a hurry this morning, she didn't have a chance to let her dogs out, would we do it? I told her no problem, the girls love to visit her dogs. Millie and I went over there and took Gizmo and Lilly for a walk around the yard.

Then we went back to school to grab Autumn. Millie told Autumn all about the puppies, so we had to go back!

Photobucket
We took them on another little walk. You know, when the girls got up there on the couch, I noticed Mr prince fur all over it. I hope he doesn't cause a problem with the neighbors. That is Lilly next to Autumn.

Photobucket
I was holding Gizmo. He still has a hard time with the girls, but he is coming around.

Autumn carrying Lilly. Lilly is so afraid.

After playing with the puppies, the girls got in the jogger and I ran up and down our street four times for a total of 4.8 miles. Then we came in and put Millie down for her nap. Once Millie woke up, we went outside to play

Soccer. Autumn wore her soccer uniform to school today.

Photobucket
Kick!

Photobucket
Now she is the goalie.

Photobucket
What is this? Well that was me getting a goal! HA

Photobucket
Autumn taking another turn.

Photobucket
She scored! She did get mad if I blocked it. She even went inside and shut/locked the door. When she came back out, I explained to her that the goalie's job is to block the ball. I don't think she gets it....

Photobucket
Now Millie gets a turn.

Happy because Grandma just walked out!

Nose.

Stacking.

Those girls love their Grandma.

We had a nice day. Still have the windows open. All that is left today is eat dinner, bathe the girls and go to bed.

The count: 94 days of soccer without you.

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...
