Christmas snow?

I highly doubt that! Autumn is talking about snow a lot!

Keen on you?!?!

I think if we were in Alaska, this outfit would not only be alright, it would accepted. These girls crack me up!

We met up with your mom and dad at cracker barrel for breakfast this morning. Autumn pitched a fit for something from the store. Personally, I just did not feel like spending $6 a piece on the junk they are holding in their hands, so when I said no, the mother of all meltdowns ensued. I have always really loved Christmas, but there is something about the selfishness I am seeing that it is ruining it for me.

I have seriously considered not giving them any gifts this year. I haven't made up my mind, but I am thinking about scaling back. I could keep some stuff in the attic and give it at birthday time. We shall see how the behavior is over the next few days.

After cracker barrel, I continued on with my insanity and dropped by Barnes and Noble. I told the girls before we went in I was there to buy something for me. I was not buying any toys or animals, etc. We got out of there with two books (you know my position on books... you pretty much have to buy your kid books).

We came home and everyone napped. When we woke up...

It was time for tea.

I think she likes it!

Autumn wanted a picture of her baby.

Millie was like, I know she said her baby, but we all know that is MY baby.

She says, "I love you, jerk!"

Autumn did all the cooking!

Millie did all the eating!

After tea time, we went to Jennifer's house. The kids made Santa ornaments (well, half way made them). Another lady was there with her son and daughter and this kid was out of control. He was opening and closing the oven (it was on!), the fridge. Finally, he took Autumn's hand print that she made and just completely destroyed it. Autumn was too upset to make another one, so I just did two of Millie's. When it is time to "paint" them, Autumn can just paint the extra Millie one. I couldn't believe how out of control this kid was, but I did not say much. I don't know what their situation is.

We had a nice dinner and the girls and I just got home a little bit ago. I am ready, ready, ready for bed!

I love you and miss you much.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 49 days of needing you home.

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...
