Happy Halloween

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY
Halloween!

And if there's something strange...

in your neighborhood...

who you gonna call...

(well - Miss Dilly Bean doesn't know)

but...

YOU AIN'T AFRAID OF NO GHOSTS!

(Miss Dilly Bean hopes
you remember that
classic song...)

Happy Ghostbusting!


Miss Dilly Bean
 

Congrats Mr. Dilly Bean

You did it, Mr. Dilly Bean!
(Well, you did it last year too,
but Miss Dilly Bean
didn't keep a little blog.)

There you are, Mr. Dilly Bean!
Congrats!

Miss Dilly Bean is told
 you beat your
time last year
by about 16 minutes.

(Miss Dilly Bean isn't surprised
because Mr. Dilly Bean
TRAINS, TRAINS, TRAINS
all the time.)

A shiny, little goodie for a job
WELL-DONE!

(One of the secrets to a job
well-done is wearing a
SUPER-DUPER
BIG, BIG, BIG
training watch
that makes Miss Dilly Bean
giggle every time
she sees Mr. Dilly Bean
wear it.)


Hoping you did something well
too - even if you had to
wear a SUPER-DUPER
BIG training watch.


Miss Dilly Bean

Crazy Long Sentence



After scarfing down some
yummy-in-your-tummy
New York style pizza,
Miss Dilly Bean was
headed home for
some cozy,
curl-up-on-the-sofa,
Sunday evening television
before another
BUSY, BUSY, BUSY
work week began...

when Miss Dilly Bean
popped up her head
and saw the sky...

and took a somewhat
FUZZY picture (sorry)
but
couldn't resist
sharing it...

because
it was so
PRETTY, PRETTY, PRETTY.

(If you are one of
Miss Dilly Bean's
little Cutie Pies...
don't write crazy-long
sentences like the one above!
It is a little too CRAZY!)


Hoping you pop up your head
and see something
pretty too.


Miss Dilly Bean

Run-Away Piggy



Miss Dilly Bean and her
Cutie Pies
got to take a little
trip to a pumpkin patch
last week!

(It was a PERFECT
pumpkin patch kind of day!)



Cutie Pies got to feed the
critters who
definitely
got OODLES and OODLES
of yummy-in-your-tummy
goodies.



Cutie pies got to pick out
their very own
plumpy pumpkin.

(Picking out the perfect
plumpy pumpkin is
VERY, VERY, VERY
important.)

Cutie pies also had a little hayride,
ran around in some mazes
(some a little scary and
some not so much), and
enjoyed time being
outside on a
pumpkin patch kind of day.

HOWEVER...

some Cutie Pies and Miss Dilly Bean
saw a
NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY
little farm piggy
break free from his
pen and
RUN AWAY!

(Well, he actually took his own sweet
time...but still...
Miss Dilly Bean and some
Cutie Pies
were WORRIED, WORRIED, WORRIED.)

Poor little run-away piggy!

Mr. Farmer said that
little piggy
breaks out
ALL THE TIME
and not to worry.

(Little run-away piggy
is a little bit NAUGHTY!)


Hoping you get to enjoy
a pumpkin patch kind of day.


Miss Dilly Bean


P.S. - Miss Dilly Bean didn't get a
picture of the NAUGHTY
run-away piggy
so she used a
little picture of her own
sometimes NAUGHTY piggies.



Temporarily Found - Part Three



Something of yours was
found again, BABY kitty.

Rosie the peke found it while
she was helping
Miss Dilly Bean with the
guinea piggies.

(Rosie is a
good little helper.)



Do you see Little Puff Ball?

A teeny-tiny puff ball
sitting with ALL
the guinea piggy goodies.

(Guinea piggies need a
LOT of goodies, but we
can talk about that some
other time, Little Reader.)



There you are (again), Little Puff Ball.

Little Puff Ball,
you are very good at playing
Hide-and-Seek.
 

"We knew Little Puff Ball
 was on the floor
by our goodies the WHOLE time,
Miss Dilly Bean."

"We SQUEAKED and SQUEAKED,
but you thought we
wanted apple pieces
so we went along
with that idea."

"The apple pieces were
yummy-in-our-tummies!"


Hoping your
guinea piggies are more
helpful than
Daffodil and Buttercup.


Miss Dilly Bean

Magical Raggedy Towel

Miss Dilly Bean had
LOTS and LOTS
(and more LOTS)
of grading this past
weekend.

BABY kitten thought she could
help by jumping and sliding
ALL OVER
the Cutie Pies' papers.

(This was NOT helping
in case you are wondering,
Little Reader.)

So Miss Dilly Bean...

put out Raggedy Towel
that worked its magic.

Thank you, Magical Raggedy Towel.

Miss Dilly Bean
was getting
TIRED, TIRED, TIRED
of picking up
the cutie pies' papers.


Hoping you have something
raggedy that is maybe MAGICAL.


Miss Dilly Bean

Double Take

Who knew soda pop could be
so CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!

Miss Dilly Bean almost missed
this little big guy
at the store.
(She was
VERY, VERY, VERY tired.)

And even though she was
 VERY tired,
Soda Pop Jack-O-Lantern
made her smile.


Hoping something
makes you smile
even when you are
VERY tired.


Miss Dilly Bean

Bobblehead BABY

Miss Dilly Bean thinks
the BABY kitty looks
 like a Bobblehead
in this little photo.

Boing-Boing-Boing
goes BABY kitty's
Bobblehead.

(Miss Dilly Bean
SUPER DUPER
loves you, BABY kitty,
and is just teasing.)


Hoping a Bobblehead
makes you smile too.


Miss Dilly Bean

 

Temporarily Found - Part Two

What does the BABY kitten see
on the kitchen floor?

(Hint:  Something that
is LOVED, LOVED, LOVED by
the
BABY kitten...)

Little Puff Ball, welcome back again.

We missed you, Little Puff Ball.

"You are the BEST puff ball ever,
Little Puff Ball."


Hoping you keep up with
toys better than the
BABY kitten.


Miss Dilly Bean

Update:  Little Puff Ball stayed around
for several hours that time before
DISAPPEARING again...

Mr. Dilly Bean & Dolley

Do you remember Dolley,
Little Reader? 
(A sweetie-pie pup
belonging to
Miss Dilly Bean's sister.)

 Miss Dilly Bean
loves Dolley!

BUT...
Dolley
 LOVES, LOVES, LOVES
someone with
 extra-special love.

Who is it?

Mr. Dilly Bean!

Dolley is
CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY
about Mr. Dilly Bean.

A little Dolley footie
resting on Mr. Dilly Bean.

(Miss Dilly Bean understands
why Dolley is CRAZY about
Mr. Dilly Bean!)


Hoping you are
CRAZY about someone too.


Miss Dillly Bean

Poor Little Sofa

It's Daffodil and Buttercup!

These two little piggies
have been up to something
NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY!

(Yes, you REALLY have,
Daffodil and Buttercup.)

You two silly piggies
need to look closely
at the following photo.

Do you see what Miss Dilly Bean sees,
Daffodil and Buttercup?

(No, not the silly peke and BABY kitten.)

Silly piggies, do you see where
the TWO of you have
CHEWED, CHEWED, CHEWED
on the sofa!

"But Miss Dilly Bean, it felt
so good for our
teethy teeth teeth."

"Do you forgive us?"
"Do you still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE us?"

Yes, Miss Dilly Bean still
loves the silly piggies.


Hoping nothing of yours
gets chewed today.


Miss Dilly Bean



Temporarily Found

Hooray!  Hooray!  The BABY's
puff ball has been
FOUND, FOUND, FOUND! 

Remember Puff Ball???

Do you know where you were,
Little Puff Ball?

You were hiding...

UNDER THE BED!

It was good to see you again,
Little Puff Ball.

But - you are
GONE, GONE, GONE...
again.

The BABY hopes to see
you soon, Little Puff Ball.


Hoping one of your
missing toys is found.


Miss Dilly Bean

BABY Beauty Sleep

Even the BABY kitty needs
her beauty sleep.

Can you s-t-r-e-t-c-h that litte footie
any farther little BABY kitty?


Wishing you beauty sleep like the BABY'S
and NOT LIKE THIS...

Miss Dilly Bean

(Miss Dilly Bean SUPER DUPER loves
Rosie the peke even if her beauty sleep
is a little scary.)

Bestest Buddies - Part Two

"I'm so glad, you're my new
BESTEST BUDDY, Maizie."

"A BESTEST BUDDY will scratch
where it itches."

"A BESTEST BUDDY will listen
to you."

"A BESTEST BUDDY will get
that pesky itch the second time around."

"A BESTEST BUDDY will sit
on your fluffy pekingese tail
and just be so happy
to have a
BESTEST BUDDY!"


Hoping your BESTEST BUDDY
makes you happy too.


Miss Dilly Bean

One Of The Sweetest

The Dilly Beans got SUPER-DUPER lucky
a few years ago when a neglected, starving
kitty cat popped into their lives
and stayed.

Trixie got plenty of
yummy-in-your-tummy food,
and the Dilly Beans got
OODLES and OODLES
of LOVE from sweet Trixie
over the years.

 This summer the Dilly Beans
had to say good-bye to their
sweet Trixie.

Trixie slowly kept getting sicker
and sicker and just couldn't get better.

The Dilly Beans will
always remember
how SWEET, SWEET, SWEET
you were, Trixie.

(And how you couldn't jump
on furniture like other silly kitties -
instead you crawled up it like
a little mountain climber.)


Hoping you have oodles of
 sweet memories.


Miss Dilly Bean

 

ABC & 123

If you spend your days with
little CUTIE PIES like
Miss Dilly Bean does,
then you need a bag
to hold ALL the work
of those CUTIE PIES.

(So you can
 GRADE, GRADE, GRADE)

The BABY kitty thinks she
might like to go
be a CUTIE PIE in
the little classroom too.

Miss Dilly Bean would
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
to take you
BABY kitty,
but she thinks the
CUTIE PIES
might love you
too much!


Hoping you find a
nice surprise
in a bag of yours.


Miss Dilly Bean


P.S.- Who else but
 Miss Dilly Bean's
SUPER-DUPER sweet sister
would give
Miss Dilly Bean
such a cute bag!

Wanted: Missing Puff Ball

Currently missing in the
Dilly Bean home...
one BELOVED fuzzy puff ball.

Last seen with the BABY
as she tossed, chased, tossed, chased,
and tossed, chased the fuzzy puff ball
ALL OVER THE HOUSE!

Miss Dilly Bean is afraid
to look for the fuzzy puff ball
for fear it is in some dark
corner of the house
overtaken by dust bunnies.

(Miss Dilly Bean likes
bunnies but not
those kind of bunnies.)


Hoping your favorite toy
hasn't gone missing.
(or been overtaken by dust bunnies)


Miss Dilly Bean

Bestest Buddies

Gracie, the BABY kitten,
has officially declared
Maizie, the Peke, as her
bestest buddy of all.

And Maizie agrees right back!

Two new bestest buddies
so happy together.


Hoping you have a bestest buddy.


Miss Dilly Bean 

One Of The Gang

Awww...Looks like the BABY kitten
is one of the gang these days.

(The Dilly Beans have a pretty
big gang so they know
she'll be LOVED, LOVED, LOVED.)


Hoping your critters are all
one big happy gang too.


Miss Dilly Bean

Just Watching

The BABY kitten can't decide if she
should just WATCH or join
the fun of two silly pekes nearby.

Hmmm...now the two silly pekes are
getting closer.
Should the BABY kitten
just keep WATCHING?

This is looking more
interesting.
Maybe the BABY kitten
will quit just WATCHING.

Nope...not going anywhere.
The BABY kitten is
just going to WATCH
for now.


Hoping you see something
interesting to WATCH too.


Miss Dilly Bean

In Good Times And Bad

The BABY kitten with the
fluffy, feathery toy
in good times...

and bad...

Little Feathery Toy,
you didn't last long,
but you were fun while
 you lasted.

BABY kitten
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED
you to pieces,
 Little Feathery Toy.
(Literally...)


Hoping you love something
 to pieces.


Miss Dilly Bean
