my nemesis

Should banana bread ever be this hard!? I LOVE banana bread and I can honestly say that I don't think I have ever made a perfect loaf of the "easiest bread on earth to make." I followed this recipe to a t and just look at it! I let it cool for quite a while but the choc chips made it fall apart. How can several great reviews online lead me to this? The top is FLAT almost even sunken, yet the bread is cooked all the way through. On the plus side, it was soooo perfectly moist that I am going to have to try it again. This time with mini choc chips and I will do it as mini loaves. Here is the recipe if you want to try it. Tell me if you have any luck.

toby and his brother

3 days, 6 weeks, 4 months

If I would have known from the first pic I took of Toby and his brother that it would be an ongoing thing, I would have started with a full body shot...oh well. I tried to take the 4 month pic while he was in his crib but he is too long now!

Tomorrow I'll feel terrible...

Right now I should be...

cleaning the bathroom and/or laundry and/or eating dinner and/or tidying up messes and/or vacuuming and/or making the banana bread I promised Darin and/or getting our temple recommends signed (CRAP I just remembered that) and/or filing papers and/or grocery shopping and/or updating my blog.

Obviously, my planning is overzealous but I have been doing almost nothing since I came home from work almost 4 hours ago, unless playing with Toby and visiting with Whitney count.

I am going to scramble to get what I can done as tomorrow is a VERY busy day and I am not sure how much catch up I can do before I go back to work on Thursday. I have been meaning to make my favorite homemade meatball sandwiches for about 5 days now and I think they are going to have to wait until who knows when because tomorrow, I am going to feel terrible about today. Vicious cycle. Why can't I stop this pattern!?

Can you pass the relish?

It wasn't long after Toby was born that Darin began calling him his little hot dog. We weren't going to dress him up for Halloween but when we saw this we had second thoughts. We were too cheap to buy it but fortunately for Toby, Grammie found a few days ago for 50% off. What could be more perfect? Don't you just want to eat him up!?
