This week John was out of town in New Jersey-his favorite place!-but my mom got to come visit for a few days. That has been fun, we went to the Museum of Nature and Science. The kids were so excited to go to the "dinosaur" museum but they ended up being scared of all the life size skeletons. They did enjoy the kid's discovery zone. Someday I'd like to go back with John and explore all the displays.
So now for the stories behind the picture and title. About 3 weeks ago the boys were using pinto beans as cargo for their trains. Being the boys they are, they decided to stick some up their noses. I got one bean out of Sam and one out of Jeffrey. Then that night Jeff was complaining that there was another bean up his nose and that it hurt. He's a terrible patient though and wouldn't sit still long enough for John to check it out. We started to not believe it cause we couldn't see it and then he started denying it as we were trying to stick pliers up his nose. Well Wed. morning he sneezed then ran into the kitchen with a huge snotty bean in his hand, "Look mom! The bean came out!". He was so excited that it had come out, I wasn't as excited, more shocked. Are you kidding me?? A bean had really been stuck in his nose, for 3 weeks! Glad it came out before it sprouted!!
Thursday afternoon all was quiet in my house, too quiet, in fact I forgot about Sammy playing upstairs. When I finally went to check on him he had my lipstick and had smeared it all over his hair, face, arm, my new towel. It was pretty funny, although I did cringe over the clean up process.

Boys will be boys - won't they?? Sounds like my house.
That is one fabulous hair color. You must tell me who does your children's hair! I love the pinto bean story haha!
OH...My...Gosh... Hilarious. Three weeks? Glad it came out eventually.
And I hope that wasn't your favorite lipstick color because I'm thinking there isn't much left, huh?
I have boys and the bean story still grossed me out. And who needs lipstick anyway?
Thanks for the warning about beans. I think I may not introduce that to Carter. I think he is happy to play with trains without cargo. :)
Thanks for the tip on beans. I won't introduce Carter to this kind of cargo. It's best he doesn't find out. :)
Three weeks!? Holy cow! That boy is patient! The lipstick reminds me of my everyday life with Kessa. You are so great to take a picture. I think I get baffled at the things I find and I don't even think about grabbing the camera. I will try and remember next time.
HELLO! It's been a long time, but I am ever so glad that I found out you have a blog! Looks like your having fun and a triathalon- sweet!
I can't believe that bean was in there for 3 weeks!! That's nuts! And the lipstick head is too funny. We haven't had to many make-up problems yet, but Lucy has ingested quite a bit of lipstick.
There is nothing cuter than a boy in lipstick:) Just wait for when the girlies come, it gets worse:)
Nice! My nephew got ahold of a jar of vasoline at my inlaw's house and spread it all over everything, including the couch, wall, carpet, himself, and our dog! It was such a mess, but at least it was colored. That must have been such a chore to clean up.
