There have been a ridiculous amount of pinto beans around the house, and I will tell you why. At the end of spring, Luke needed some beans to do some counting on homework. I opened up a bag of pinto beans, took out a few and then put them on the counter. I forgot to put the bag away, and you can just imagine how fast Abigail and Carly found the bag and dumped it on the floor. We cleaned up the beans... Luke took about half the bag outside and dumped them into the flower bed. He wanted to grow beanstalk. Abigail took the ones she picked up and instead of throwing them in the garbage, she scattered them throughout the whole house. I swear I was vacuuming up beans for months, and everytime I would open up a play purse or backpack, I would find more. She loved toting them around calling them her babies. So on to a few months later I was weeding the flower bed only to discover a massive amount of beans growing. I showed Luke and he was really excited. We just let them grow, and then they got all dried up. Abigail came in the house one day with a handful of pinto beans. She asked for a bowl and sat outside for an hour picking all the beans. So once again there were beans all over the house. She tried to hide them from me so I wouldn't take them away. But I guess she slipped a few past me because she must have put some down the bathroom sink.
A couple of nights ago, Ben was helping the kids brush their teeth and he saw something in the sink drain. It grossed me out when I pulled it out of the drain. Good thing we found it before it sprouted a million more beans... I'm sick of beans! Really, I never want to see a pinto bean again.
