TTY: Day Fourty Eight

This was Bean's reaction to seeing a butterfly up close in person. She was climbing Jas' leg. This is the same child that tries to catch carpenter bees in the back yard.

TTY: Day Fourty Seven

A friend of mine and her son came to play with me and Beans. This was only part of the hilarity. With friends like these, who needs a demolition crew?

TTY: Day Fourty Six

Today, Beans and I went to The Porter with our buddy Anh. Anh had two beers and shared a big fat basket of the most delicious fries with us and then bought Beans some home made vanilla ice cream.

TTY: Day Fourty Five

This is the Wigglin' Waterpillar. I bought it for Beans entertainment. I thought it would wiggle as the name and packaging suggests. It didn't. This disappointed me: however, Beans' happiness with the non-wiggling Wigglin' Waterpiller pleased me very much.

TTY: Day Fourty Four

This is what some one looks like after they've had a piece of metal remove from his eye and the rust (because the aforementioned metal was in there at least 4 days) scrapped off with an instrument that looks like a mini golf putter with a sharpened edge. In case you were wondering. You're welcome.

TTY: Day Fourty Three

Progress! This is going to be the most awesome play house ever! Or at least the most awesome one in my neighborhood. I think it's the only one, so it would have to be. But it's going to rock!

TTY: Day Fourty Two

Hammer Time! I just love the expression on her face and she loved pounding the hammer.

TTY: Day Fourty One

We have cicle-pops and eyebrows. It's been a good day.

TTY: Day Fourty

Happy Friday! Cheers!

(FYI: It's a Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Juice.)

TTY: Day Thirty Nine

Beans enjoying watermelon for the first time. She really wanted to eat the rind.

TTY: Day Thirty Eight

Jas asked me to go to Home Depot and get four 4x4x8 foot posts. I thought he was building a fence. He said he was building "a shelter" for "building supplies" and what not. He told me that there was a sketch of it in his office and I could look at it. So I did. You're not looking at a storage shed... you're looking at the beginnings of Bean's playhouse!

TTY: Day Thirty Seven

Beans and I went to Imagine It! The Children's Museum of Atlanta. We spent two and a half hours playing non-stop. I snapped this photo a few minutes after we got there. She had just declared that "it's beautiful."

TTY: Day Thirty Six

Several months after Jas lost his wedding band, I found it... under the dish drainer.

TTY: Day Thirty Five

Happy Easter! I think. That's my nephew standing behind Beans (whose mouth is filled with cheese) with the toy knife. They actually get along pretty well... most of the time.

TTY: Day Thirty Four

You know some one is awesome when she'll fill up your tire while you sit in the car even though she's 6 weeks pregnant.

TTY: Day Thirty Three

Jas and the fairy Bean. I don't think much needs to be explained about this picture.

TTY: Day Thirty Two

Beans feeding Daddy boiled peanuts. Yummy!

TTY: Day Thirty One

She just sat on the couch and peeled the paper off crayons. She seems to love pulling the paper off crayons.

TTY: Day Thirty

The first time I can ever recall being stuck at a rail road crossing because of a train.

TTY: Day Twenty Nine

She's a goober. What more can I say?

TTY: Day Twenty Eight

Working on a new project. Just for Bean's room.

TTY: Day Twenty Seven

My little Monet. Painting in the bathtub.

TTY: Day Twenty Six

After watching me put on mascara day after day, Beans got a hold of the tube. She decided to try some on. Pretty.

TTY: Day Twenty Five

My sweet husband brought flowers to me from the yard. Just because he was a few minutes "late" for dinner.

TTY: Day Twenty Four

For loads of fun combine the following: a toddler, a father with amazing upper body strength, and a large plastic tote. Beans cried when he had stop. The only thing that made it better was bath time.

TTY: Day Twenty Three

What did the little Bean want for a snack? Munster cheese and Siracha for dipping. Spicy cheese.

TTY: Day Twenty Two

This afternoon, I was in Bean's room doing some cleaning and organizing. She had been happily coming and going with Sadie following along. Suddenly, I hear the back door open and close. I rush back there to find this. Beans making a break for the sandbox in sock feet with a freezing drizzle of rain coming down. Locks not only keep people out, they keep toddlers in.

TTY: Day Twenty One

What happens when you go to the bathroom and forget to lock the fridge? You get eggs on your floor and your toddler discovers how to turn the light on and off in the fridge.

Happy Sumo!

I don't have much to say about this photo. I just hope it makes you smile.

If you haven't already, check out the site it's from. It's called Picture Is Unrelated. The photos aren't always PG-13, but they're almost always amusing.

TTY: Day Twenty

Today we celelbrated my father-in-law's 61st birthday. And yes, that is whipped cream on his nose.

Organic Smokehouse Butter

I hardly know what to say about this. I love butter. This is awesome. Some one may have found a way to make butter better.

It's all a small operation and they smoke everything from salmon to fudge and (as I've already mentioned) butter!

You can read more about it here on the T Magazine Blog. It's pretty nifty.

TTY: Day Nineteen

What's mine is hers apparently. She stole my cereal. And would even let me have a bite.

TTY: Day Eighteen

These two just don't quit. Nor does the cuteness.

TTY: Day Seventeen

This is one of the most precocious pairs you will ever meet. If one of them isn't into something, you can be sure the other one is.

The Robot Ninja Penguin Conspiracy

Today while chatting with a random stranger from Ontario, Canada, it came to my attention that Canada hasn't had any snow this year, but Georgia (one of the warmer states in the US) has. We've had three days of snow with school and business closings and all!

At first one might say global warming. But how would you explain the snow in Georgia? The you might say La Nina. But why is there no snow in Canada? My Canadian friend and I figured it out and I'll tell you...

It's the Robot Ninja Penguin Conspiracy. What the heck is that? I don't know... yet.

TTY: Day Sixteen

This is the little known parmesan cheese fairy. Surprisingly she resides in Georgia, not Wisconsin as one might assume.

TTY: Day Fifteen

My husband and I in the interest of saving gas have switched vehicles. Beans and I are now riding in a Ford truck. She loves it. And I love that.

TTY: Day Fourteen

My baby and husband are sleeping. Even the dog is asleep. I'm awake because of my cold and zombies. Thank goodness for Mythbusters.

TTY: Day Thirteen

I discovered today that I have a friend that knows how to make a "proper" cup of tea.

Hey! Follow Me!

I'm just curious who checks out my minutia. I don't gain anything monetary nor will I ever bother you with emails or whatnot. I just want to who you are. You know me! Kind of. So why not let me know who you are! Kind of.

TTY: Day Twelve

We went to the doctor today. Beans has her 6th ear infection. But dancing with Daddy makes the world right.

TTY: Day Eleven

Beans enjoying the spoils of grocery shopping. We decided to get sushi and someone didn't want to wait to pay. She was the first two-year-old any one had seen have a fit over sushi.

TTY: Day Ten

This is the aftermath of dinner with two dear friends that we don't see nearly enough.

TTY: Day Nine

Today, Beans got to play with glitter paint at a play date. She also got her hair painted with a combination of paint and gardening soil by another adorable two year old. She was a shiny, purple, dirty mess. And loved it all.

TTY: Day Eight

Beans enjoy her first hamburger. She called it a Krabby Patty.

TTY: Day Seven

My husband. Dying my hair blue and green.

TTY: Day Six

This is my father-in-law and Beans at my birthday dinner sharing noodles. He has two sons, two grandsons, and one granddaughter. Beans is his first and only little girl. Special.

TTY: Day Five

Today my little Bean learned the joy of blowing bubbles in milk.

TTY: Day Four

Jas drew this on my hand last night with a paint pen. It has yet to wash off. It's reminded me of his love and made me smile all day.

TTY: Day Three

My beautiful Bean and my handsome husband making salsa.

TTY: Day Two

Here is my little Bean wearing my heels and playing with her fairy tree house. She for some loves these shoes. If she gets into my closet she's either putting them on herself or me.

The Twenty-sixth Year: Day One

Today I've decided to start my 365 Project: The Twenty-sixth Year. From what I've seen most people start these on the first day of the new year and seeing that that happened two months ago, I missed that boat. So I'm starting mine of the first day of my new year, my 26th year.

Today is the first day of the 26th year. I woke up to this note from my husband. It was a great way to start my birthday.
