Rainbow.

By -
Things didn't work out the way I expected or planned them to this weekend. Sarah Marie told me a week or two ago that Kaitlyn's birthday party would be today. I told her we wouldn't be able to make it because we were expecting Grandma Betty and Aunt Carolyn to come and visit us. Grandma Betty and Aunt Carolyn decided not to come down because a bunch of us were sick. Aunt Carolyn needs to have eye surgery next week and didn't want to risk getting sick. I just cannot blame her for that.

SO, now that we didn't have company in town, I decided we would surprise Kaitlyn for her birthday and share our wealth of germs.

It rained the last bit of the drive and for some reason, the traffic was horrible once I hit I-95.

Devonne kept me company on the way over. She sent me this totally random picture of herself and told me that she looked pregnant. Sure Devonne.

Cole started school yesterday. Hard to believe he is a kindergartner now!

I find it odd that the last time I saw my mom, there was a rainbow. Now, as we were driving in to her house, we saw another one. This was actually a double rainbow, but I was having a hard time getting the shot. I got some more pictures with my other camera, but I don't feel like going through the hassle of hooking that camera up to this computer!

My last photo is a picture Jenny took for me. I've been harassing her about the termination dust because I know that it must be coming soon. So she took this picture:

When I saw this picture, it makes me miss Alaska so much. Are you sure this is out of the running for retirement? I am not sure that I am ready to call it quits on living there. I'm serious. Not joking.

The count: 77 days of missing Alaska.

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...
