Taking the Scenic Route

I hope our day gets better.  So far there is excessive crankyness from the other two people I am living with and it is too cold to go outside and play.  grrrrrr.  I am really wondering if Zane if feeling ok because he isn’t generally this cranky this early in the day.  Zach is just very stressed as the semester wears down and hearing Zane whine all day is making him even crazier than he would normally get.  Arg.  This day has already lasted a week.

Did I mention it was cold?  We actually turned the heater on for a bit this morning and had to scrap my original meal idea (a summer bean salad thing) with something that needed to be baked.  I am thinking about putting some soup on the stove so it will add some moisture & heat into the air.

Other fun thing, while I am gripping anyway, Zane outgrew his shoes.  Last week his sandals fit him fine, he put them on yesterday (in the house) and his toes hung over the end.  That was fast!  So, his tennis shoes won’t fit either.  I measured his feet (stride rite has a nifty online measuring thing to print up) and discovered that he is right up to the 11.5W size.  His Easter shoes, which were *way* to big when I put them on him a month ago, are now going to be just right, almost snug.  Whoa.  So, I am looking for size 12 (size 30 Birki) and trying to find something.  I think he will be wearing saddle shoes for a week though because everything is so expensive and we will need to wait until the next paycheck.  I am thankful we got those!  Maybe I can find a good deal on ebay again.
