OK, please excuse my lack of class in this post, but listening to Brighton's comments while playing with dry beans made us laugh to tears. It's PG-13, so pass by if you are sensitive to tackiness.
My friend Janessa inspired me to give the kids some dry beans and bowls and scoops. They played with it for the better part of an hour. That is a huge amount of time devoted to one activity in our house. Thank you for the idea, Janessa! I gave them kidney beans and garbanzo beans to play with. Brighton decided to separate his by type, putting the garbanzos in a cup. When he came back from going potty, Keaton had dumped them back into the bowl. He freaked out yelling, "Keaton stole my nuts!"
Later, Waverly had to leave to potty, so Brighton assured her, "don't worry--nobody's going to take your nuts. We'll all just play with our own nuts." Nothing's worse than having someone steal your nuts!
She's hiding her nuts under the bowl.
You have to admit they look like little leprechaun-sized nuts. Maybe an old leprechaun.

I love how you have photographed their darling little hands and fingers playing in the beans. You've again captured the magic of how little kids explore their world with something as simple as playing with beans.
I can almost hear those beans clinking in the bowl and want to play with them myself. Beans are fun until they get thrown everywhere.
You do so many cool things for your family and friends; when do you sleep?
You make me laugh. Old leprechaun nuts. Ha, ha, ha! Glad you had fun with the beans. You got some great pictures capturing the fun.
