Alexis Wanted Lima Beans. Cody Wanted Lima Beans More.
We have quite the assortment of seeds sprouting up in our kitchen right now. The most important seeds, however, are those chosen and planted by a certain short person. She carefully selected the lima beans based on her undying love for the things. Every single day, she has peeked under the clear plastic cover to monitor their growth. Little by little, they sprung up until on Thursday, the were so tall they had pushed the cover right off. The little green sprouts stood easily six inches in height.
And then Cody decided he really wanted some lima beans.
He started by biting off all of the leaves. When he got caught for those shenanigans, he went into hiding for a while. He returned to pull the baby plants all the way out of the dirt.
We'll be having Havanese stew for dinner tomorrow night. Unfortunately, I won't have any lima beans to throw in the pot.
AGGLE FLAGGLE KLABBABBLE.

How epic was the meltdown that occured after that happened?! And I love that Alexis wants lima beans - that is about 50 different kinds of awesome!
Your dog eats vegetables better than my kids do.
Cody was just being protective. He saw those creatures sneaking up slooooowly on his people and moved to defend against the green menace. He luuuuuurves you!
I followed you over here from Eat, Pray, Love.
I am attending BlogHer and share the same sentiments of our friend Denise.
It's a scary thing to put yourself out there and get the most out of the conference and I would love to meet my neighboring bloggers in Colorado but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to go to my favorite city and blend in with the masses.
Thanks for planting a seed, ha, ha, in my head about moving forward with the growing season.
Which one is worse when they have gas? If it's Cody then ... sucks to be you. If it's Alexis then...way to go Cody!
Well, I guess Cody didn't eat them....so you should be OK.
First of all, I am jealous that you have things growing in your window! But sorry about the lima beans, I know my girls would pick something odd to grow. I just throw seeds in the ground come May.
Oh! No! What did Miss Alexis say?!
