the 4th

Happy America Day! Bean loves popsicles, birthday parties, and he definitely loves America. And having them all come together on one momentous day, why he is the happiest little patriot around!

can you hear me now?

Bean's phone is a little old but he likes all the things he has to do before he can actually answer it. It's like a race against the clock!

chopsticks

Bean, have fun on the piano today but if I find spit all over my harmonica, you're buying me a new one!

spring step

Summer sunshine puts and extra skip in Bean's step.
Welcome, July!

spoonful of sugar

Bean has his favorite pants on today. It helps him get through the Mondays.

Shhhhh, don't tell him he looks like a pill.

Don't worry Bean, its Friday!
Turn up the tunes at 4 to get ready for the weekend!

ride' em cowboy

Pet lets Bean get away with anything.

But hey, at least Pet isn't subjected to this.

iams and ewes

Bean also makes sure Pet eats well.
And if Pet is taught by Bean, he will end up very well rounded.

new hat?

Bean always complains about it being too cold and Pet loves sitting on high places. I think they're going to make a good team.

bubbles

Bean is super at giving Pet baths and washing behind Pet's ears. Now if only I could get him to wash himself as good.
Maybe this or this would help.

face?

Bean has a hard time looking Pet in the eye because he doesn't know where they are.

new friend

You may not know, but Bean has a pet. It's a sheep. And Bean named him "Pet".

This is a picture of Bean and Pet when we went to the animal shelter and found Pet. Pet's a little shy and scared here. But Bean is busting with joy.

nice tux

Bean just chillin'.
Chillin' like a penguin.

par-tay!

Bean is going to have a party!
(in addition to the one he's having now)



And I am celebrating being in Texas (and neighbors who thankfully don't lock their wireless internet; because mom in Texas still uses dial-up).

breakfast

there was a picture of a donut...

p.s. Bean and I have gone on vacation and we will try to post but can't guarantee that the internet availability in our luxurious destinations (all the Drury Inns between Gatlinburg, TN and Tupelo, MS) will be up to snuff for more posting. But we'll be back as soon as we can with plenty of stories and pictures!

splat

Medic?!

Oh, Bean, you're so dramatic. It's just a paintball.

modern post-modernism

Why Bean, you are quite the Pollock.
Just tell me you used washable paint to create your masterpiece that is now on our wall and sofa.

hide and seek

Bean is helping the aquarium find their lost baby octopus.
But he can't find him anywhere!

knows

Bean knows where his nose is.
And where you can find the best nose.

news flash

Happy Super Monday!

that's it.
