full of beans
Lively and spirited
Full of beans means lively, energetic, and in high spirits: The kids were full of beans after their nap.
The phrase suggests someone brimming with vitality, perhaps annoyingly so.
In British usage, it can also mean talking nonsense—full of hot air rather than substance: He's full of beans if he thinks that'll work.
