Deer, Oh Deer

We are all moved in to our new house. Oh believe me, there is still plenty to do. I have a total of 3 pictures on the walls and a lot of re-organizing to do but we are mostly unpacked. I blame my sister, Janet, who came to help for 3-4 hours the Saturday after we moved in. And I'll tell you, she kept me on my toes the entire time she was here. We unpacked the whole kitchen and laundry/craft room while she was here. Probably 50 boxes. She would unpack everything and put it on the counter and I would frantically shove things in cabinets, trying desperately to keep up. Still, it was nice to get everything in so quickly. So thanks, Janet.

This is such a fun property. I have had lots of friends comment that you feel like you are out in the woods. And it does feel like that but then you look out of the windows in the back and you can see the whole town. But it is also fun to see things like this little guy. He just sauntered up to the house and started munching on my flowers. That doesn't bother me so much but I now am convinced that we will need a fence around our vegetable garden.

The kids were sleeping when the first deer came into our yard and Penelope kept telling me that she wanted to see a deer. Well, she got her wish last night. This was a bigger buck and wasn't quite as brass as the other deer. He was still on our property but didn't come up to nibble my flowers.

 He looked right at me and so naturally I said "Hi deer." He didn't hang out much longer after that.

 I love living in a small town. We had a little street fair/art walk this weekend. They had a dunk booth, a train that gave rides up and down main street, pedal tractors, a bounce house, food vendors, art work and classic cars. Penelope was in heaven. Eleanor and Sullivan were feeling a little shy that day and stuck close to me but they still had a great time. Eleanor in particular liked the classic cars and pointed out the pink one every time we passed. All of the kids events were free and it was so much fun.
