The temperatures have been scoarching this week!
It got warm enough to make the snow sticky and snowman-able.
Meet Cowboy Snowman Adams:

The down side to having warmer temperatures means layers and layers of snow and ice melting on the streets. I spent my (yesterday) morning like this:
I have now been initiated into the Alaskan crappy drivers club.
If you're wondering why I'm on the wrong side of the street I'll tell you....
I'm not actually on the wrong side of the street. You see, after fishtailing about 5 times I gave up fighting the inevitable and we spun right-round and entered the huge snow bank backwards.
To make things worse, I had someone else's children in the car along with my own. Our initial reactions were as follows:
Me: sobbing hysterically
Melinda's boys: "That was AWESOME!"
Gracie: "Mom! That was so scary!"
Lydia: "How long till we get out of here?"
Luckily, we managed to walk away with only a floppy flap above our tire and a $150.00 towing fee. I'd say we were pretty lucky.

Lydia gets the "bravery" award today.
At her (late) 4yr. well check she endured 3 shots in the thighs.
I had prepared her and told her she could get a prize if she acted brave.
She didn't cry, grimace or even flinch!
The technicians were amazed and said they've never had a 4 year old that just layed still and didn't cry.
Her choice of prize: a smoothie.

Cupcakes
This is my version.

I absolutely despise the stage where babies are learning to use utinsels and eat like "big kids".
Have a great weekend!

GO LYDIA!!! That was so brave!! She is growing up. :)
I'm glad you were all ok after the sliding. Whew.
And Henry... Keep it in your bowl or mouth. WOW!! He looks like The Beast (Beauty's Beast) when he's learning to eat like a gentelman.
Alaska is beautiful!! The restaurant you went to for v-day looks divine. And how lucky are you to have a 4 yr old not scream while getting her shots? I know, I had to give them to kids for a year, it was awful. Looks like things are going well for you!
You are a pro! Way to handle all the stress like I know I so wouldn't! Miss ya! Your kids are adorable!
awww.... brody has those same jammies! i vote that when you're here, we have a popcorn/movie/pj night and they can be cute little twinners. SO cute!
glad you are all safe and sound and eating yummy cupcakes and making messes. :) sounds like our house...
