We started this week at 0°F and by Sunday it was nearly 40°F. So, we started our weekend "playing out," which is the phrase the kids use to say we were hanging out outside.
The neighbor's dog.
He has to stretch before you pet him.
The sun was super bright! Everyone had sun glasses on.
Silly guys
Starting to see the grass again.
Dusty dirt road.
The next day, Nathaniel and I checked out the river to see if there was any overflow. It was raining!
The snow on top of the ice was slushy.
Mud puddles on the road behind our house.
Our sewage pipes, above ground (normally insulated with a few feet of snow).
The make-shift sewage insulator, so our sewage/water doesn't freeze again.
We celebrated the weekend with some pizza from the Yukon Cafe.
Got a special package in the mail.
We sold our giant bean bag.
On Fridays the female staff members wear kuspuks (pronounced cuss-puck) to school, the traditional native Alaskan dress shirt. A local friend made me a new one a few months ago. I bought fabric in Anchorage over Christmas break. She had it ready the very next day after I gave her the fabric, and sewed it all while her newborn was napping!

Mooseloaf Recipe
This week I made my very first meatloaf... I mean "mooseloaf." It was quick and simple.
Ingredients: {1 1/2 lb (moose) meat, 1 egg, 1 onion chopped, 1 c. milk, 1 c. bread (or cracker) crumbs, salt and pepper to taste, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 2 Tbsp mustard, 1/3 c. ketchup}
2. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 lbs ground (moose) meat, 1 egg, 1 onion chopped, 1 c. milk, and 1 c. bread (or cracker) crumbs (season with salt and pepper to taste).
5. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. Done when meat is no longer pink. Enjoy!
