Dunkin Donuts.

By -
Since the time I saw a commercial for pumpkin coffee at Dunkin Donuts, I've wanted to go. Millie and Autumn woke up in such a good mood this morning, I asked them if they wanted to get some donuts.

They are YOUR children, so of course the answer was YES!

We loaded up and headed out and once we arrived at DD, that is when the good times ended. Millie has taken to throwing some really big fits. I know she is testing the boundaries, testing me, but I am SICK of it!

Our trouble started today when she wanted to use the bathroom all by herself. I do my best to accommodate the girl, but she was taking TOO long, she couldn't get on the toilet all by herself and there was a line to use the restroom. By helping (trying to speed things along), I just made the girl angry. She wasn't going to cooperate the rest of the day.

I finally got her mind off the stinking bathroom and we

Ordered our donuts. Millie refused to eat anything, but she was being quiet. About 5 minutes later, Autumn needs to use the bathroom and this starts ALL over with Millie.

I know she is cute, but she drives me NUTS.

DD ends with all three of us crying and me carrying Millie out of the restaurant with her panties around her ankles and her screaming in front of all the other customers, "I don't love you anymore." Nice.

Once we got home, her behavior did improve. She took another really long nap today. When she woke up, Autumn asked if we could go to Target to get a jump rope. I told her we could.

Again, Millie behaved horribly. We didn't end up getting a jump rope. We ended up back at the car and going home. I guess this is where we are right now. Until Millie can act like a decent human, she isn't going any where. I guess she is 2... terrible 2's..... will she live? That is the question.

I found a couple of other pictures on my phone I wanted to share.

From a trip to Sam's. While we were in Florida with Mindy and Tim, I asked him to pick up a can of green beans for the kids. I swear to you he bought the biggest freaking can ever, so I took a picture of the girls and sent it to Mindy! ha

The "God Our Father" police. Autumn tells people around us to be quiet, that she needs to pray.

I love you and miss you.

I thought we had a very productive D3 talk today. I'm so excited to go there again.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

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...
