BURRRRRRR! We have had a small cold snap as they call it here in the great frozen north. Now, I would think (Palin quotations)"small" would mean two or three days of -10 or so. No No No...we have 8 straight days of -19 or more in Anchorage. We as you know are in Eagle River...13 miles north or south or something.Yesterday morning we were -34. My teeth were hurting and chattering. Personal note here: Dr. Peterson my teeth are cold,but they look GOOD!I just don't talk at all out in the cold. Maybe that's why Tony has been wanting to park further away from all the buildings? We have been staying in and watching the other parts of the state that have been -50 & -60. Did you know that if you blow bubbles outside when it gets this cold they freeze and look like glass. You can hold them and they don't pop. It's really cool! We were doing it at work yesterday. When my co-workers take a smoke break I take a bubble break. If they can have time to smoke, I should have time to blow bubbles.
At dinner tonite, Karter did the strangest thing. He ate lettuce. Karter has and is the pickiest eater in the world.He has a very firm diet of chicken nuggets,pizza & mac & cheese. He only eats these things, until this past beginning of the year. His resolution this year is "To try new things" He has been awesome. Lettuce,cabbage,broccoli,different sauces and he claims he will try fish. I am so proud of him.My only concern here is this is going to mean I need a second job to feed him. More tasting, more food.He started Anchorage honor choir tonite and sings like a little bird. He is an alto and 1 of a hundred in the choir. Even with all those voices, I can still here him singing.
We are all well and Karter and I are playing hookie from work and school tomorrow. We never let education get in the way of entertainment.Don't worry grandparents...this only happens once in awhile.
I love you all and now I am off to put on my seal & beaver house shoes.
The "hope" to be defrosting Eskimo's
