Homework

Yesterday was such a busy day.

The girls at Awana's. There is a rule about wearing tennis shoes, so Millie looks odd! I tried to put some shorts on under her dress, but she was not having that. Baby steps I guess.

After hearing some horror stories from friends about homework, I am grateful that Autumn LOVES to do her homework. The only real homework she had today was her ten new sight words. We just put them on our flash cards. She already knew 6 of the 10 though so I'm guessing she will make short work of this list.

Tomorrow is the half day. Autumn needs to be picked up at 1215, so I will grab Millie and head straight to Autumn's school. I'm sure it will all work out.

Millie has to be entertained in another room when Autumn is doing her homework. I would say the Millie factor is the only thing that bothers Autumn. Millie cannot make a peep during homework time without Autumn coming unglued. So I have been setting her up with Netflix or a movie in the computer room. Millie had homework today too, from Awana's (coloring). That seemed to work really well for today.

Tomorrow is going to be busy again. Autumn to school, Millie to school, running, bible study, get Millie, get Autumn and that is all by noon!

I'm still feeling kind of tired. I cannot believe how many stops I had to make during my run with Millie this morning. We had to stop for the bathroom. We had to stop to get her blanket. We had to stop to pick up the DVD player. That really messes with my mind. Before 2 miles, I just wanted to be done already! HA!

For tomorrow's run, I am going to start where I always do, but turn in to Flat Rock, run it once and then head back to my car. Should be a good run. I know I will be slow. I have aches all over.

I hope you are doing well.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

PS- Millie cried for you today.

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.

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...
