what a crank...

no pics today, sorry! cole has been a total crankypants (figures, since we had quite a weekend), so there was no photo opportunity, except for the crying and tantrums. not really posting material. anyhoo, we survived, and since it's suppertime, the day is almost over, thank goodness. i'm kinda betting that tomorrow will be worse, since it seems that it always takes a day or two for the crabbiness to hit it's peak. at least i am prepared... i will be armed with teething tablets (that's half the problem), an assortment of toys and things (things meaning empty water bottles and junk mail... why these are so amusing to this kid is beyond me), cheerios, gerber puffs, sippy cups, his fuzzy mini-blanket, books... short of narcotics to knock him out (joke!!!), we have quite an arsenal, and hopefully i can have it all together in a bag so i can take it ALL from room to room... hahaha! for those of you STILL taking me seriously, that all was a joke. kind of. the idea is starting to grow on me...
i made potato soup for the first time tonight! i wanted to make chicken noodle soup for kelvin to take over to andy (he came down with mono, poor guy), but didn't have much of what i need for it. be some miracle, i had everything for potato soup though! and banana bread- thanks for the recipe, ashley! it's AWESOME... so andy got some of that too. as do we- not really soup weather, but it still smells so good, we are just having that tonight. yummm!
