Our poor scarecrows
It was a rough year for our kids and scarecrows. At home, we got a bale of hay and some old clothes to make a scarecrow, but it rained so much in October that the kids never got a chance to finish their work. We never had time on the nice days, and on days with free time it rained. Working with a wet scarecrow is not much fun.
The kids got to make scarecrows at school, and we had a great time doing it:
We helped out on this one, which is wearing a prom dress and a cape, carrying roses:
Sort of a "bride of scarecrow" theme.
You'll notice this was a rare convergence of all three kids, including the tiny dancer:
There was only one hitch in the whole production. Each year the kids' school organizes a night to make scarecrows, and then they display the scarecrows all over campus, including several along the road in front of the school. The night we put up the scarecrows, several of them were stolen. Stolen!
It's a scandal.
