just stuff...

it's been a tad bit boring here since the weekend, so there's not too much to report. i made a batch of bran muffins yesterday, which kelvin really raved about. funny- they're just ordinary bran muffins; i never get a reaction like that over anything else i make. huh. anyway, like father, like son, because cole really likes them too. he had a bit of mine last night with supper and had about half a muffin for a snack before bed (he was too tired to eat the whole thing, hahaha!) and then had a whole one for breakfast this morning. hey- they're good for him, and he drinks a LOT of milk when he eats one, so that's a bonus. cole and his bran muffin for breakfast... he had to get EVERY LITTLE crumb!!
hmmm... maybe they tickle his tummy?

starting yesterday, i got a burst of ambition, to finally start getting all the stuff done that i wanted done LONG before now. the one thing that's holding me back? my son. he likes to "help", which usually means trouble of some sort, and if i contain him, he's not happy (and i feel super guilty). so... slowly but surely i'm getting it done, little by little. i have to clean out the guest room, which is currently housing junk (junk we're keeping... it's WAY better than it was when we first moved back) and stuff. one thing i need to do right away is get a box and throw everything of kelvin's into it... i keep putting stuff of his in little piles and telling him to put it where he wants it when he gets a chance. there are little piles all over the place.... so a box would do better, i think. then, i have to get cole's closet painted and organized, the computer desk needs to come up from the basement so i can wipe it off and use it, our closet needs a little attention... the list is s-l-o-w-l-y getting shorter. the only time i really get to work on anything is when cole is napping, or once kelvin gets home, but he's been spending a lot of time in the garage after work. hopefully his projects will be done really soon, and then i can get going on mine. if i'm lucky, my great lot of ambition will still be hanging on by a thread! i'm taking it easy today, since i think i did too much yesterday, according to my aching back. seriously, i could hardly get up the stairs last night... one of the joys of pregnancy! but on the upside, i can take time to watch my belly squirm. that's always fun!! and i can work with cole in his walking- he know how, but thinks crawling is much easier. which it is, i'm sure... i just love to watch him take those sweet baby steps, though! i'm addicted.
