Miscellany Monday

{flashlight, anyone?}

one. Gone are the days of playing outside after Sweet Bean's midday nap, and never mind that post dinner walk. Thanks to Daylight Savings Time, by the time five o'clock rolls around here in our neck of the woods, it's dark---really dark! And though we'll settle into our new routine eventually, no one said I had to be happy about it!

two. I've said it before---Gillian Grace loves bath time! Just like her Momma, Sweet Bean takes at least two baths a day. But there have been occasions, like after a massively explosive poop or an unusually messy dinner, that the number of baths has skyrocketed to as many as four baths in one day! And though you'd think all that tub time would get old, GG loves it as much now as she always has. Even though it appears our washrags are a little worse for the wear.





Q: How do you know it's time to get new washrags?
A: When they're so thread bare from use that you can see right through them!

{Just curious---What do you say? Washrags or Washcloths?}






{what's that smell?}

three. Have you ever thought that some cheeses smell like dirty feet? Well, at least in our house, I know why.





You never know what's going to happen when you let Sweet Bean loose with a handful of food!

four. This photo from Hub's cell phone was just far too fun (and strange) to keep under wraps until Friday. And to think I thought Halloween was over, apparently these weirdos well-dressed ladies didn't get the memo. Fortunately, I can say that I wasn't the only one in Target that thought the twosome was a little odd, but I was definitely the only one stalking around like an amateur paparazzi, trying to get my million-dollar shot!









{and the winner is...}

In the meantime, I'll leave you with a sneak peek:
