Crazy Woman!

By -
Last night the girls were so wound up. I guess the hiking and being outdoors and such just gave them an abundance of energy. They made an "airfort."

I thought they did a decent job. Looks like most of the airforts I made growing up.

That look on Autumn's face is killing me!

Hi there crooked eye.

Crazy hair.

Finally got the girls off to bed and then I proceeded to neti pot my face for 45 minutes. That is how long it took for any water to make it out the other nostril. EW! I hope this neti pot thing is actually helping me. As of yet, I'm not sure.

I woke up this morning feeling just plain awful. I had a wicked headache and I knew there was absolutely no way I was going to be able to go to church. I did laundry, cleaned the house, did some packing for my mom's house. The girls let me nap off and on. They were so good, I let them go on and make their sugar cookies.

Millie added the egg.

Autumn was in charge of the flour.

Autumn made moose cookies, reindeer cookies and flowers.

Millie made polar bears, pumpkins and flowers.

After making cookies, we did some more packing. We ate dinner and then headed to church for iguana's. Autumn earned another patch tonight! Now I am super happy that I didn't skip it tonight. Anyway, there is about a half hour between dropping Autumn off and church starting. Millie was sitting in the pew writing on the bulletin. I asked her what she was writing and she said, "you are a craaaaazy woman." I was somewhat dumbfounded and then asked her where did she learn that and she looked up at me very innocently and said, "grandma." It made me laugh so hard! That girl is hilarious.

We plan to leave just whenever in the morning. I am hoping everyone sleeps in at least a little bit. I am so exhausted. My mom will be at work by the time I arrive in Charleston, so I am not in a really big rush to get there early.

I am hoping you will have internet connection and can call me on the I-16 portion of the trip because that part is SO boring.

I love you and I miss you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 16 days of being 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...
