How Do You Measure Up?




Linus helped Matthew make a scarecrow this weekend.  It is a project for the corn maze the Gardens does each fall at the Chatfield site.  They shopped together for the supplies and when they got home Linus was excited to show me the boards they bought.  He said, "Look mama, wood!"

Linus had fun learning how to use the tape measure and proceeded to measure anything he could.  When he measured my foot I asked him how long it was.  He said, "Two feet."  When he measured his own head he said, "It's a good size." 

Linus' current look when he smiles for the camera includes him squinting his eyes.

What a fun project for the two of them! I'd love to make a scarecrow! Linus looks like a good helper.

Wow, that's quite the outfit the scarecrow has on. Judging from the tag I'm guessing Goodwill. Do you think someone actually wore that shirt or quickly donated it after receiving it as a well-intentioned but horribly wrong gift?
