Bean's Back!

saving time

too early?

fav. fireworks

white out

Yup, pull out those white pants and white shoes.

Well, I don't know about those shoes, Bean. I think you barefoot in those linen trousers would look smashing! Kinda like this but minus the chest hair.

mom's day list

How is it looking, Bean?
That looks like a pretty good list and you even made them all start with the same letter. For #2, were you thinking this place? I don't know how much she's going to want to participate in #3. We might have to do that one by ourselves.

checking out the options

Mommies eat free at IKEA for Mother's Day.
That's an idea, Bean.
And if mommy pays for us, as usual, then we'll all eat free!
Who said there is no such thing as a free lunch!



















*I've already done some things for mom for mother's day, like getting her her free 8"x10" print from Walgreens and printing all 396 pictures from our Paris trip. But you know, they always expect something in addition to what they told you to get/do. They are tricky like that, so Bean and I are still brainstorming.

cinco says

It's Cinco de Mayo!
Bean has super long list of all the ways he is going to celebrate. Here is a sampling:

#1. Watch "The Three Amigos" (also my numero uno)
#45. Eat another burrito
#97. Get a pet cucaracha
#108. Shake maracas again
#116. Watch "Nacho Libre"
#154. Kill all cucarachas in the house except the pet one
#162. Ask for a taste of Nora's Margarita
(#34 on Nora's list- Deny Bean a taste of my Margarita or any other like beverage. Only let him drink Jarritos)
#163. Pick my favorite Jarritos flavor
#178. Play some soccer
#201. Watch "Selena"
#202. Make a jumpsuit like Selena's

Bean and his peeps

Bean, I understand if the one peep I let you to eat got lonely in your tummy, but did he really need all his friends to keep him company? Let's hope your tummy doesn't get upset at the onslaught of bunnies it now has to subdue.















*Bean's "Aunt Susan" gave me a pack of half-priced leftover Easter peeps for him. And this is what happens.

leftovers

Bean loves leftover Easter candy. Actually, he loves all candy regardless of the holiday or occasion. If it's candy, he loves it. Except Tootsie Rolls. Those aren't candy because candy is supposed to taste good.

that day

It's April 15th, and everyone knows what that means...

Grab your party hats and celebrate Dan and Ashley's Birthdays!

Bean wishes he could celebrate with both of you over a Pomodoro Pizza and a game of Scene It,
but maybe it's a good thing you two are on opposite ends of the continent (San Diego and NYC),
America can't handle so much goodness too close together!

(and for those of you not fortunate enough to know these two fabulous peeps, turn your taxes in already!)

nothin'

Bean hates it when things are empty... like when he needs chocolate and there is nothin'...or toothpaste and there is nothin'...

or chocolate and there is nothin'...

But Easter morn is a totally different story. He loves finding things empty on that day!

"Faster, you guys, faster! Just think, we're working up a sweat for nothin'!"

(this is my favorite painting ever. it's of Peter and John rushing to the tomb to see what has become of Jesus. I love the apprehension and excitement in their faces. it's in the Musee D'Orsay in Paris if you ever want to see it!)

tgi(g)f!

"Don't worry, Pet; they aren't talking about you. That's Jesus they talkin' about."

clean feet

It's Maundy Thursday and Bean wants to know if you want your feet washed.

Bean, just do me a favor, when you are done, don't put that sponge back by the sink. Go ahead and throw it away when you finish using it.

ashy?

Quick lesson, Bean: If you go outside today and see people with some dark stuff on their forehead, don't tell them! they know. But if it's on any other part of their face, you go ahead and offer that kleenex to them, and I'm sure they will be very grateful.

lazy lent

Bean, giving up making your bed every morning is not much of a sacrifice for lent. You should think about giving up chocolate, ring pops, or online shopping instead.

the day belonging to the presidents

Even though Bean wasn't alive, he misses the days when presidents had big bushy beards. So he decided to make one for Mr. Obama. It's got cotton balls on it and hidden inside are tiny marshmallows for secret eating!
