Yowzers!
It's funny, okay?
Okay, maybe not to him in 13 years, but it really makes me laugh.
Thank heavens for surgery today to make those puppies straight! He'll still wear the glasses, because he's farsighted, and they're cute (or not.)
I'll post some bloody eye-ball pictures after. Barf.

October Break!!
Although our kids aren't in real school yet, we were dying to get out of town, and were able to go with our family to California to beat the heat! It was so fun, and one of the best vacations ever!
While there, we stayed at the Gage House, which was perfect for all the kids to run and play. Tons of room inside, and lots of lush grass outside. The kids were in heaven.
The best thing about this vacation was how relaxed it was. We had no plans. I was in heaven! We woke up when we wanted (when we were tired of "shshing" the babies) and ate a delicious breakfast of eggs and breakfast meats (I was in love, as I am pretty much the dog from the Beggin' Strips commercial, "Bacon!") and hashbrowns. My brother-in-law, Tim is a fantastic cook, and was gracious enough to take over meal time. I know, right?! Like I said, best vacation ever!
So, yes, playing non stop,
romping in the grass,
blowing the grass,
Nate smiling
(had to post for documentation, because he usually looks like this:)
okay, he's smiling here too, but it's just because he threw a handful of sand onto Reese's head,
boogie boarding,
family pictures,
nerf guns,
orangutanes,
the Midway
and Coaster ride.
All in all, it was a blast. I call dibbs on going again next year!

Happy Halloween!
5 crows all shiny blackSat 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!!

AAAHHHHHHHHHH!
"CAN'T A MOM HAVE ANYTHING NICE?????!!!!!!!"
(quoted from my mom 1975 - 1994-ish, the years when there were little ones trashing everything... ugh, that's nearly 2 decades! Now, it's my turn for the same phrase. I love that I am becoming more like my mom, because that means at some time, I will be awesome.)
So, blogging will be even more minimal than it has been. In fact, it has come to a screeching halt. Why? Well, the camera is out of commission.
Why is that?
Well, I'll set the scene:
Me: unloading the dishwasher as quickly as I can before the twins come to "help."
Oakley: runs in the house from the backyard.
approximately 4 minutes later
Oakley: MMMOOOOMMMM!
Me: What?
Oakley: You're camera's wet!
Me: What?! (walking swiftly towards his voice, finding him in the bathroom, perched with his feet up on the toilet seat with his shorts and undies off dangling my camera by the strap)
Me: What happened?!!?!! >:( (Yes, there was a definite angry scowl.)
Oakley: I was trying to take a picture of my poop, and it fell in the toilet. I have skeets.
So, there you go. I think it's a good excuse.
