She's got style

She's got grace. It reminds me of this one time in boot camp...

I made banana bread this morning, but I ran into a small problem.

These two pans are stuck together, forever, I'm pretty sure!

I used our other loaf pan and made some muffins too. I thought this bread was really tasty. It was from skinny taste. So far, I haven't had a thing from that site I didn't like.

For dinner we had Tex Mex Shredded Chicken in the crock pot.

The cast of spice characters.

Onion and garlic.

Chicken breast patted dry and then sprinkled with salt and pepper.

Next up, coarsely chop a jalapeno, and squeeze one lime over the top of the chicken. Word to the wise, wear protective eye wear. Oh my gosh, a piece of jalapeno went flying and some juice squirted me in the eye. It hurt SO bad!!!

Next, goes in some cilantro and the onion garlic mixture. Put the lid on and forget about it!

Several hours later I came back and shredded the chicken. After tasting it, I was worried it would be too spicy for the girls, so I didn't put any of the juices from the crock pot on their portion of the chicken.

Success!

Pretty sure Autumn ate more chicken then I did.

Crooked eye liked it too.

I ran 5 miles today and did 60 push ups. Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow, but this weather had been really nice. Another day of the a/c off and the windows open. That is until 6 pm tonight when it hit 80 degrees inside. I went around and shut all the windows and have the A/C on now. I bet it will only run for an hour or two because it has been getting quite cool over night. I have a feeling there is NO way we are getting back in the pool. I think I may start letting some of the water out. We shall see.

The girls are in the bath, but let me tell you when I went in there to run the bath, someone, by someone I clearly mean Millie because in a hundred years, Autumn would never ever do what Millie did in the bathtub! There was pee!!!!!!! I said, "Who did this?" Millie proclaims, "I did! he he he" Seriously? I live with animals. ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Johnny Appleseed day and I'm going to send Autumn to school with a camping pot! Hope you don't mind!

I love you.

The count: 95 days of discovering the joys of pigtails (she asked for them by the way)!

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...
