Special Protection

Cort decided that all of the bubble strips from a Wal*Mart box would be a special protection armer. This would protect my little rescue hero from missiles, bombs, fire, bullets, he said that nothing could get through it. Grace played with for about 10 min. long enough to make a bracelet with her bubbles. Cort played with it all afternoon.

EleFun

Who says you can not have fun on a rainy day? Anyone who has small children needs to own the game Elefun. The kids love it, it is not that messy and the butterflies are quiet.

Pony Heaven

My little girl is enjoying all of the space in her room. She can have her pony things out and Cort won't bother her. Sometimes I walk in her room and I just have to laugh at what she has found to put on. Maybe I should get a dress up box for her. With Cort it is hard to keep him inside, with Grace you have to beg her to go outside. Amazing how different two kids can be!

Dear Santa,

Today we wrote letters to Santa. Cort wants a Mega Rig, which is a matchbox thing. Grace wants a Glo e bear and a doll house. I know that Santa did good on all but one of the request. I may have to have a talk with the big guy in red.

Happy Thanksgiving

Cort, Grace & Lucy were making Turkey decorations, well Lucy was just curious about what was going on. Cort is starting to want to sit down are draw, before he would not slow down long enough for that sort of thing. I hope you all have a day filled with lots of food, family, friends, and rest!

Army Practice

This morning Cort was busy "Practicing Army". He was so cute! Every once in a while I would hear "It's not good, not good, lets go Grace". Like a true sister she would follow her big brother. He was so helpful when they were climbing in the front yard "jungle". That's right, the pictures were taken in our front yard. Man I love living here.

They love the mud!

My little babies have adjusted well to the warmer weather. They always come in muddy! Cort even asked me when it was going snow. He said he wants to go sledding. Well it is either warm and muddy or freezing and snowy, I'm glad it is warm and muddy.

Nap time

As you can see we were all tired today. Good thing Grace was there to make sure that Daddy did not get cold while he was napping with Belinda, the doll. I would like to say that everything is close to done, but my mom told me never to lie. I got most of the kitchen stuff IN the kitchen, that is what I did for the day. Maybe tomorrow I can get another room done or close to done.

It's Here!

We have been without all of our stuff since October 29th when the packers took it all away. Then our beloved things got into Ketchikan on November 8th. Amazing how things can go from Fairbanks to Anchorage across the Gulf of Alaska all the way to Ketchikan in the same amount of time it took it to go 17 miles(Ketchikan to Metlakatla). I am so glad to be in this mess of boxes, and now I will not have to hear Cort say,"When will our stuff be here?".


I don't know why I was so excited about getting all of this stuff back? I only wanted the "good stuff", you know, my stuff. I could have gone a few years without all of the kid toys and hunting, fishing, camping stuff. Sorry Frank, I do love you!

A Day at the beach

Today we went exploring on the Soutwest end of the the island. We went as far as the road would take us. When we got home we got out the map and discovered we were at Pt Davison. The wind was strong and COLD! That did not stop Cort he would have stayed out all day. We went at low tide in hopes of finding some neat tide pools. No such luck, we will have to keep searching.

All Roads lead to Metlakatla

We had quite a trip from Fairbanks to Haines. We had to make some pit stops in the snow. When we got to Haines it was like it was late August again.
