"Beans wants to show you something"

march 16: It is never a good thing when you walk in the house to your husband saying, "hi hunnies, Beans has something to show you." You see, we had been leaving Beans out in the kitchen for the whole week while we were at work. We figured he'd been such a good pup with his short stints in the kitchen that he deserved whole days.

We all sat around a table making little packets for student mailboxes. It was such a relaxing way to spend a Friday afternoon after a crazy week. We all just sat, laughed and enjoyed each others company:
