A better day.

By -
Today went much smoother.

I didn't have to park 4 miles away.

Tomorrow, the girls will go in without me.

We will do the normal drop off.

I remember the first time I did that with Autumn in Kindergarten, it felt like I was throwing the girl to the wolves, but this year,

Autumn can walk Millie to her classroom.

I told Millie when she felt like she could walk to her room by herself, to just let Autumn know.




This is Reagan.

As soon as Reagan saw Millie, she came running, arms thrown open and hugged Millie.

I think you can tell, Millie was a little overwhelmed by that sort of attention, but still, she was happy to see Reagan.



After dropping everyone off, I went to Walmart to grab a few items (like spaghetti squash).

I headed to the birdie trail and I ran my "sprints" and then did my at home workout.

I did housework and then showered and chilled out.

Pick up came faster than I realized.

Today, the line only took about 15 minutes.

Honestly, I can live with that.

I bet it keeps improving too.

Once I had the girls, we headed over to CSU.

I wanted to pick up some of my books since we were going to be on that side of town for gymnastics.

I'm telling you, the girls love my campus.







I only have two books left to get, but as it turns out, that e-book access card thingy is the book in electronic format.

If my hard copy book doesn't arrive before school starts, at least I have something.

That makes me feel better.

I really do prefer the hard copy, but I think I can live with an e-copy.

After acquiring books, we did gymnastics.

Millie cried when she saw her coach, but quickly changed her mind.

I mean, like it minutes changed her mind.

Dr Shrek, my foot doctor, his daughter is in Millie's gymnastics class. She was also in Millie's ballet class.

Autumn went back to Coach Weaver and said she had a great day, school wise and gymnastics.

Millie said that this day was GREAT!! Her teacher did not yell today.

Overall, a great report from both girls.


I had spaghetti squash and meatballs using tomatoes from our garden for my spaghetti sauce. Not to brag, but it was awesome!!! Tomorrow I will make meatball subs.

Thank you for getting my training plan to me.

I feel like the world is right again!!!

I love 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...
