working together

palmer & kiko working together, well. . . kiko trying to work and palmer trying to play having kicked kiko out of his own chair
palmer went outside by himself, having put his jacket on upside down and backwards. . .

drivin' bath time

palmer loves to "drive". i just have to make sure he doesn't leave any lights on because i've killed my battery a few times letting him play around.

snows gone. . . but it's still chilly
palmer entertaining us on kiko's birthday friday night
this is what 33 looks like. drinking tea, watching the boy. . . how times have changed
olive (and her folks) and some other friends came over saturday to watch a boxing match with us. it was really great, good fight, good food, good friends!

silly

pretty fancy worker guy huh?


he drew a 1/2 a mustache on himself. . . it was pretty cute!

chomp! and stuff

tonight was chomp! the vegan community dinner.
it was at greenspaces a really cool rental office space. it's in a big warehouse.

palmer said, the roof is missing something. it was all exposed wood and pipes lofty. he's so smart
skinny kiko!
he had kiko and i running laps

best boy ever

sue has been watching palmer on mondays while i do my paperwork but they had gone back to visit family and wisconsin and still needed a little time to settle in so palmer came to work with me today. it's so fall here, finally. i LOVE it! he was so good i had to buy him a present, i know i know, but i went to a thrift store and he picked out a couple books and a little metal dump truck. i got a few books too, some plant based cook books. anyway, then we came home and ate lunch and took a nap and when he got up we went to the central library. i know i am always talking about how much i love it but i love love love love the library. the people there the books. the central public library, which i drive too even though there is a closer one, is a federal reserve library. it's amazing, it's huge, and i love it. and i think i'm teaching palmer to love it too. he said, "thanks mommy i love you." i asked "do you know what i love you means?" he said, "ya, it's poopie cack", which is pooty cat, i think, which maybe i guess it is.
ok, i only documented the part when he was being sweet, not when you was standing on the window sill jumping onto this cushions. he also ran races "on your mark, get set go. . . " back and forth in the deserted isles. he asked me to wave a flag as he ran, so i cheered and waved a pretend flag for him. "i am the guy, i am the winner". i got a book about track and field. :) there was no one there, it was dusk, trees turning and rush hour traffic going by. it's cool and crisp outside and over cast. . . . ah. . . my favorite weather (i'm totally an oregonian at heart)
he rumbled with this stuart the mouse for a while


just reading. . . such a good boy! he really is the most fun kid ever, i'm so blessed!
he was saying to kiko, "i am your best friend." and then he saw me too and he said, "i am your best friend forever too." awe. . .

fall day

palmer picked out "mater the greater" to spend his birthday money.


he calls it mater that jumps over cars.

little hipster!
we had to go buy a new faucet on friday because the mechinism in the other one broke. . . it sprayed water all over me in my face all over the kitchen, everything under the sink was sopping. i thought since i installed it i did it wrong but the plumber said it was an actual defect in the faucet so i was kind of bummed i had to pay him to come out, but he did show us how to work our gas fireplace too. palmer said he was too tired and needed to rest on this nasty dirty bench outside an asian market that was next to store.




palmer and i went to play at the park yesterday so kiko could do some work.
