Pinto Beans

So the other day my kid and I went for veggie tacos in West Seattle.  The tacos of course were delicious whole pinto beans with delicious toppings like guacamole, sour cream the works on white corn.  These are a little hard to handle for a two year old as you can imagine. The filling comes spilling into the basket, if I'm lucky.  The first glob of toppings goes right on the floor.  I used to feel bad about it especially if we were in a restaurant that had carpet flooring but we were on tile floor.  I think I've gotten used to it happening but always try to do my part to pick up any huge messes.  This time several pinto beans had fallen on the ground with globs of cream.  So I of course did my clean up effort.  After we devoured our veggie tacos we were off to the park. 

It was still a jean day in June although I was wearing my jeans rolled up as the temp was a little up.  The day was getting a little cooler and actually I was looking like a dork with my jeans rolled way up and saw some neighbors at the park.  So, I tried to look a little decent and roll my jeans back down to normal length.  Thank god no one was looking but out rolls a PINTO BEAN out of the cuff of my pant leg.  Thank goodness no one saw and we all looked a little half put together at the park. 

Today, was one of the warmest days of the year, so we went to the zoo. While we were taking a break on a bench.  E looks around and looks up at me and says, "Nice Day".  It's these moments that make the pinto bean moments worth it.
