Moo

As unbelieveable as it sounds, I can confirm that it is in fact true that moose run around anchorage like they own the place. insane? Agreed. They will just run across the roads and the highways and traffic will cease to exist for that moment. Also living in the woods provides a great place for them to just hang out in our backyard. Look out your window and what do you see? I see a moose staring in mine. Yikes! Oh and Lollie calls them moo. As in the cow goes moo. Precious.

fish oil

this is how lollie takes her fish oil. lets it soak up through her nose and then throws it in the trash. as for me.. i just throw it straight in the trash. no thank you. :)

This is Lollie. Biting my ear. And telling me she doesn't want me to leave and that she is never gonna let me go! I love her! I don't want to leave her! But at the same time... 2 days!! Yay!

I made this craft for Suzanne as my going away present to her! I though it was super fun so I though I would share how to do it. Easy peesy lemon squeezy. So..

1. Take pictures of the side of the kids faces up against a blank background.

2. Then i just had them printed as 4x6 photos.

3. Cut pictures out and paint them black.

4. Paste on white cardstock paper
5. Used numbers and letters from the craft store

6. Frame!

Wa lah! There you have a super fun silhouette of the kids to hang on the wall.

So I took the girls and some of their friends to the indoor water park! Let me tell you, it is hard work to stay afloat with 4 little girls hanging on you in the wave pool and I am not the best swimmer to begin with! Goodness these girls make me laugh, I have so much fun with them!

the exploder

So this car has given me the mostest troubles since I have been here. Not fun. We don't call it the exploder for no reason. The first week I was here it got a huge hole in the tire, don't ask how cause I have no answer, and so the tire had to be replaced. Also the key broke off and so that had to be replaced as well leaving me carless for days. Earlier in the week it decided to get us in a mini accident and sent us sliding on the ice and into the snow barrier and then almost tipped over. Today, we ran out of gas even though the gauge said it was almost a quarter full. Of course I blame all of these incidents on the explorer. It has nothing to do with my driving skills whatsoeve. The end. Oh also I can't tell you how much I love taking the broom out to sweep off the piles of snow every morning. Yay for me!
