Beans

Halle's new hobby is called "Playing Beans" (her title.) Last winter when we were going crazy inside, I bought a huge (cheap) bag of dried pinto beans and a large roasting pan and let her go to town pouring and scooping. Eventually I put them away on top of the kitchen cabinets and forgot all about them. A couple of days ago we got them out again, and it has been a non-stop bean party ever since! Halle is old enough now that she doesn't make a huge mess, and she can "cook" with them. Fun, fun! :)

Here's a cute picture of Cate, "playing" outside with us:
