Cherish has got to run.

2nd time out with this bad boy, but this time, it was for a run.

Getting location is MUCH faster than with that huge thing I use to wear.

The girls and I did 2 miles today. I wanted to do 3, but I was really spent after 2. The cool air was doing my lungs in. The snot was everywhere.... it was GROSS! I almost ralphed all that Indian food up. UGH! Tomorrow I will go again. Maybe I will walk the first mile and then run. It is supposed to rain later this week. Like Tue/Wed and Thurs so I figure I better get a run in while it is sunny.

When we got back from running, I decided what the hell? I'll take the Christmas lights down too.

Do you see where I messed up the ladder. I need to purchase a new one. This one is pretty awful anyway. If you have a suggestion, want or need, please let me know. I won't make the purchase right away as it is not a priority.

It took me about 15 minutes to get the lights down and thankfully, I did not have to get on the roof to do it. I just need to figure out the best way to store the lights now. At the moment, they are wrapped individually and setting in the boat.

While taking the lights down, I got a text from my Sunday school teacher about meeting at IHOP for a bit. I decided we would go. It is nice to have some conversation and laughs.

On the way home, it was dark and Autumn commented about how she was sad that we didn't have our lights out anymore. I did feel kind of bad about it then. Maybe I should have left them up a little longer.

Tomorrow we have been invited to a bonfire out at Tracie's house. I'm feeling a little undecided on whether or not to go. It has been rainy over the last week and the fields will be muddy. You know how the girls are with mud and quite frankly, I don't even have decent shoes to wear in the mud. I just don't know! I kind of want to go for the social aspect, but I don't think I feel like dealing with Millie/fire and mud!!!

There you have it. Our day in a nutshell. Wondering what happened to you.

The count: 118 and 58 days of goofy girls! PS- it was approximately 45 degrees at the time of this picture and our neighbor thought I was nuts for running like that. Seriously, it wasn't cold at all although it did seem to bother my lungs a tad, but my lungs have always been on the sensitive side.

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...
