The pumpkin patch.

By -
I was supposed to go to the pumpkin patch today with cussalot, but she sent me a message saying they weren't feeling up to it. I won't lie, I was a little relieved. I was kind of wanting to just go with our girls and enjoy some time with them.

Last night I let the girls stay up and watch a movie.

Initially Autumn told me she wanted the Nightmare Before Christmas, but she saw Polar Express and wanted it instead.

I think they were up until 9 pm. Millie sure was ready for bed when the movie was over. She didn't give me a hard time about the door last night. Nap time today, totally different story.

We went to the Fortson Pumpkin Patch, it is free!

Getting measured... 42 inches. Too bad they didn't have this one at the condo pool!

Photobucket
36 inches.

Just like last year, when the girls saw this...

There was screaming.

Autumn made me take their picture at every thing out there!

Not really the sort of pumpkin patch I remember going to as a kid, but free is nice. So is close by. It was nice to get out of the house too.

The pumpkin Millie picked out.

All ready for the hayride.

Miss all smiles until....

The spiders and the hanging snakes from trees!

Millie clapped. She thought it was hysterical.

I was able to talk Millie into a different pumpkin.

Autumn picked out hers.

Time for some swinging.

Millie loves her pumpkin.

Hop scotching. Something Autumn has been saying this week, "You get what you get! Don't patch a fit!" I asked her where on earth did she hear that from.... Two guesses? Mrs Keri!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I didn't mistype, she says patch a fit, not pitch a fit!

Photobucket
Chilling out!

We have such beautiful girls!

So that is our super duper exciting Saturday! We did one thing! ha! I guess it is better than what your options are.

I'm starting to get very anxious feeling. I just want this deployment to be over already.

I love you and miss you much.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 106 days of Halloweening 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...
