My daughter is IN LOVE with Crious George. Seriously! He is her obsession. She has a little George doll that currently goes everywhere with her. Well, everywhere except school. That's the one exception. Monkey's aren't allowed at school. Instead, they get to go to work with mama where she 'monkey-sits', or so the Bean thinks. When I pick her up from school we tell each other about our days, including any mischief our curious little monkey might have gotten into. Well Monday started out pretty normal. I was working away at my computer when I kept hearing a strange noise at the copy machine behind me. After hearing this for a few minutes I finally went to check and THIS is what I found.....

Seems our little Georgie got curious about the copy machine and had to check things out for himself!

** When I told the Bean this story, first thing she asked was to see the copies. It took everything in me to hold back my laughter as I arranged his furry little body in odd positions and smash his little face against the glass this morning. LOL

My bean scared us good this morning. She had a seizure.

The name Zoie means life. And I always say she's full of it. But I don't think I'll ever get that memory of her limp little body and spaced out eyes out of my head. She was like that for a few hours after the actual seizure subsided. Finally, after making Curious George do her ballet routine, she started to smile.

She's napping now and hardly remembers a thing about this morning. She's a little bummed she missed the ambulance ride but she said she'll take our word for it. lol

** The seizure was apparently triggered by a high fever she had due to a sinus infection we wasn't even aware of. She's on antibiotics and not feeling too well right now but she's HOME.

I don't kow how you momma's with children that have more serious problems, regualr Dr visits, surgeries or hospital stays do it. Tons of (((hugs))) to you.

A few nights ago at bedtime, I was dressed in a top with an empire waist. The Bean looked at me funny and says....

B - Mama, you look like you might have a baby in your belly.

M - I do?

B - (Nods her head, smiling)

M - Well honey, I hate to disappoint you but there's no baby in my belly. Mommy is just fat.

B - You're not fat mama. You're cute!!

She makes me smile

Driving home from school a few days ago, the Bean and I were talking about what we had to do that afternoon. I told her a few things I had to do, including some housework and she said she'd help me if I needed it. Because she knew daddy probably wouldn't. She says mommies and nannies do alot of stuff but daddies and papas don't. LOL

Yesterday I did the horrible lick your finger, wipe your child's cheek thing and it totally grossed her out. She said "Ewww mama, you're gonna give me your germs!".

Hope you all have a good weekend!

O-kay, that settles it. I am not meant to be a momma to any more than ONE child. I just know I'd misplace one of them somewhere....

My 3 nephews slept over Saturday night so Sunday I had to dress 4 children for church. I pulled the Bean's dress down over her head, handed her a pair of sandals and she was done. Easy! Ha! Mid-way through church on Sunday she pulls up her dress and starts crying... my little girl was commando. I forgot to give her panties.

A few months ago we were woke up around 3 am by someone banging on our bedroom window. DH sat up and peeked out the blinds to see several men looking around the yard with flashlights. A little freaked out he grabbed a pair of boxers, pulled them on and went to find out what was going on. I stayed in bed and waited. When he came back I sat up and asked….

Me: What’s going on out there?

DH: It was the cops. They’re looking for someone and had a tip that he might be in the area.

Me: That’s weird.

DH: You think that’s weird? Take a look at this…

He flipped on the light and I saw him standing there in a little RED PLAID ‘SCHOOLGIRL’ SKIRT!!! He grabbed it thinking it was his plaid boxers. OMG I was rolling on the bed laughing at him!! He said he was standing on our front porch talking to the 3 police officers when he first noticed a draft. Boy, I would love to hear the conversation they had when they got back in the car ;)

  ----> That's what it looked like (just a lil' bigger). LOL

Check out my little cutie on her first day of dance! She was SO excited.

And while I'm at it here's a few more gratuitous shots of Miss Bean….

Thanks for peeking at my princess!

I was laying down with my Bean a few nights ago when the following conversation ensued:

Bean: Mama, how do you go to sleep?

Me: You close your eyes.

Bean: But how do you go to sleep?

Me: You close your eyes and relax your body.

Bean: No mama, how do you go to sleep? (getting a little irritated with my answers)

Me: Close your eyes, relax your body and think of happy things. Soon your mind will just fall asleep.

Bean: But how do you go to sleep?

Me: Bean, I don’t understand what you’re trying to ask me honey.

Bean: Why? Am I speaking Spanish mama?

Speaking about my Bean singing made me want to share this picture. She looks SO grown!!!
