Halloween Threw Up

In the kitchen. Shockingly, I made it out of the attic without 1. Injury 2. Losing anything (OK, so I dropped an empty box going back in).

Autumn told me I was doing such a good job without my daddy around (that would be you by the way). I explained to Autumn that you are NOT my daddy.

Today was Johnny Appleseed day.

Autumn told me Johnny wore rags for clothes and no shoes. Well, I'm not putting my child in rags (and yes, Autumn suggested we tape some from the kitchen to her clothes) and she was definitely not going without shoes on.

SO this was the best we could come up with. I had to secretly chuckle to myself because minus the mix matched socks with sandals, this looks like a normal Autumn outfit!

Miss Millie all ready for school. She said, "Cheese purse." Millie also talked to me about Mrs Sandi today. She said, "Sandi, favorite." I asked her why? She replied, "Gives Millie cookies." She is so funny!

After dropping the girls off to school, I went to Walmart to see if I could get my hands on a portable DVD player. I've been looking online since our last one broke and I wasn't satisfied with the options. I wasn't very convinced I would find anything when I went in there. I had to get someone to help me find the DVD players, which wasn't a good sign. However!!!!

Just like our old one, but brand new.

I picked the girls up from school and when we got home Autumn asked me if I could get her pumpkin down for her. I told her I would be pulling the Halloween stuff out soon, but not right now. Autumn says to me,

"Tomorrow is P for show and tell and I want my pumpkin to bring."

OK! OK! I'll risk life and limb and go in the stinking attic.

IT was like Christmas pulling all our Halloween stuff out! Someone left wax in my warmer.

Oh goodness. Autumn asked for pizza for dinner, we were going to have pizza tomorrow, but we will do leftover chicken tacos tomorrow and we had the pizza tonight.

Millie is silly.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 96 days of holiday preparing 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.

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...
