Happy Birthday Ben!!!

Today is Ben's birthday!!

Unfortunatley he's in Memphis learning about sprayers, but he's getting to eat tons of bbq, which makes me happy.  Why, because I don't have to eat it with him, lol!

I'm sure I'll get suckered into eating at one of the bbq joints when we go to Memphis again in December so I can run my 2nd Half Marathon : )

Speaking of.....I have to raise $500 to participate, but of course it's for a great cause, St. Jude's Children's Hospital.  I've got 20 Weeks of Training, so I need $25 a week in donations to get to $500, so who wants to cover my first week??
  Please : )

Here's the picture we sent to Ben this morning as his HAPPY BIRTHDAY picture.  She looks a lot better fresh out of bed than I do in the morning!  Note I'm NOT in the picture : )



We had an off and on rainy Saturday which derailed us from spending any time at the pool but Ben did go play golf with a buddy in Russellville since there was a couples tournament at the Country Club this weekend. 

That gave me and Bean, and I say that like she really helps, more time to further work on cleaning up and out some areas of the house.  We made decent progress, which lasts for all of about 2 hours : )

Oh well.  Here's a few other shots of her bed the way we have it set up now. 





She's getting better about falling asleep in it without us laying down with her.

I also found on Facebook last week a Step 2 Artist Desk and Easel for sale.  I got them both for $35 totaly!  You can't even buy the easel new for that price and the desk is like $100, so I was thrilled. 



We got that all set up and moved her crayons and coloring books and paper in there and then I got her some water color paint and washable markers this weekend. 

She LOVES it!!  And I love a great deal.  It had some marks and stuff on it but Bean is 2, she's going to color on it, so who cares!






We did get to the pool on Sunday as Ben left to head for Memphis. 



Another hot week here, but at least not in the 100's.
Be sure to tell Ben Happy Birthday today!!!

Bean loves the Lobsters at Red Lobster!!
