Happy Halloween!

5 crows all shiny black
Sat on a scarecrows back
Eating the most delicious corn "Kaw, Kaw"
Scarecrow he shouted, "Boo!"
One crow, away he flew
Now there are 4 black shiny crows "Kaw, Kaw"

So, maybe we just had 2 crows all shiny black, and maybe doing face paint is a lot harder than it should be, and maybe my babies will hate me for making them wear feathered bloomers.BUT, aren't their little bird leggies so cute?! And, Oakley couldn't have been happier to be a "scary scarecrow" like he had been talking about for months. Yay! It's done!!

All in a Day's Work

Yesterday may go down in Palmer Family History as the most productive day we've had. I had a mission in mind, and that was to clean out the garage. This incorporated several other tasks I've wanted to accomplish.

1- paint this dresser so we could move it out of the garage and into Oakley's room.
2- for some reason that reminded me to put door stops behind all the doors that didn't have them.
3- take the rack off Jason's truck (which Oakley now calls "Mom's work truck") so we could park it in the garage. (Never in the 4.5 years living here have we had 2 cars in our 3 car garage.)
Clean garage with 2 cars and everything put away all the way and all dead crickets swept up.(Hello truck rack, do you want to find a new home?) (Thanks Uncle Reid for the lawnmower, I'm soo excited!!)

Additionally, we wanted to level the backyard so that water wouldn't pool and our rye would grow.
Hmmm..... fail. We'll continue to work on that.

Oh, and Jason started out the day with a 12 mile run. No biggie, right? He didn't even complain once throughout the day how tired he was. He is amazing!
Me? I started out the day with a couple dozen doughnut holes. I never complained once throughout the day how full I was.

P.S. A giant thanks to Kevvie-Baby who helped muscle the truck rack off and who shoveled tons of dirt into and then out of the truck and then used the big leveler rake that attacked his arm and gave him a rash. You're the best!!
