benjiville is kicking my arse. the child is climbing like it is his job. if you turn your head for even a moment, he is on top of the fridge with a handful of grapes and firing them at you with a salad shooter. so in light of the fact than my kid is all over the place, and won't stay out of the dog food long enough for me to type a quick post, i thought i would take advantage of nap time today, as the kid is actually sleeping
things here have been good, crazy busy and at a constant spin, but good. we have been
running around, birthday parties being planned, doing errands, making syrup. (yes, AGAIN), visiting with sister from seattle, visiting with friends, trying to suck the life out of every moment that is warm enough to play outside, working at the store, and marinating in life.
we are anxiously awaiting two new beans to the list of treasures around here, one, who should be crowning as we speak, a little giannelli and the other whom is over a week late, but a foley, so we will forgive the lateness, as it is part of their genetic make-up...
the beans here are well, everyone is antsy, as it just seems like the winter has been dragging on. we are itchy to get out and play, there are bikes to be ridden, seeds to be planted, and gardens to be loved up. so in the meantime, there has been a whole boat load of whining from the princess - and if you have never witnessed this, my god. i am trying to keep things in perspective here, but i sometime think i might fare better if i gauged my ears out with a toothbrush, a whole lot of tormenting from the big bean, and just a mess of chasing the little guy around.
m has decided that he is too busy to play anymore, and can only "work."
and poor misguided T, keeps telling him that she would like to play with him "when pigs fly."
the new game here is pretend, which t calls "by-tending," so m will pretend that his room is a zoo, and the way he cleans, it's not the far fetched really...and t "by-tends" her room is a wazzam, which translates in t speak to MUSEUM....
so, she will run in to our room at the ass crack of dawn and tell you, "you won't believe it, but is is good morning time in my WAZAAM....." and i roll over and look at the clock, and remind bry that if he doesn't put the shade back onto her window, she is just going to keep doing this, i can't fool her to sleep past 6:30 if she can see the daylight.
and the littlest bean, well, aside from being a nursing fool, and just a little bit of a terror, well, he is just such a little pumpkin. when he looks up and smiles at me, well, i think that my heart just melts a bit...he knows how to kiss, and cuddle and i think i just am totally in love with his little self.
oh, and the store GRAND OPENING, was yesterday, there was lots of folks there to hang and join in on the goodness, and i was so pleased that so many of the good peeps where around to show their support...
anyhow, hope you and yours are all doing great...
xo,
A
