Jail birds.

By -
Our choir is going to HC Jail this weekend to sing for the prisoners.

Our choir director, Dewayne, sent out an email about our attire and told us to think "Puritan."

I was also told to wear something your grandma would wear.

I don't believe that those options exist in my current wardrobe.

I hatched this idea that some of us should show up to choir practice wearing jumpsuits and asks if those would be OK for the jail ministry.


So Alison and I got our hands on some....


I wish you could have heard the laughing when we made our entrance!

This morning I ran.

OK, I walked a good half mile from 2 to 2.5.

Man, I felt sluggish.

I've been super sore too.

After, I did some yoga and my insanity workout.

Then I made:


Chocolate popcorn for the girls Christmas in July party at kids choir.

Autumn loved it, but Millie hated it.

She still hates peanut butter.

These are drizzled with Reese Peanut Butter Chips and Chocolate.

She keeps asking me if I will make regular chocolate popcorn.

I suppose sometime this weekend I will oblige.

Sometime this afternoon a call for help was put out on facebook regarding the choir robes.

They needed someone to unpack and hang them.


The girls and I made our way over and got it done in about an hour.




We also vacuumed the entire room.

It really needed it.

We then ran to gymnastics.

Then Chickfila.

Then back to church.


On our way home this evening, a song Autumn and I really love came on, so we were sitting in the driveway just a singing away.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

I have to mow the yard.

Vacuum out the vehicles.

Sweep the porch.

Take care of the pool.

Then we have a play date with Melanie, Kristin and Lois.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo
114 days of missing you terribly.

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...
