Tabitha and I have been taking a dinosaur class this week at the Natural History Museum. We have the same teacher as we had last year for the tide pool class. I'm not sure how much Tabs is learning, but the crafts are really fun, so she's having a blast.
After dinner, she and I headed to the mall for a nice evening. We didn't do anything but window shop, but it was just a really nice time together. We split a preztel and I bought cheese sauce to dip my half in, turns out that the cheese sauce they sell at Auntie Anne's Pretzels has worcestershire sauce which has anchovies in it so I didn't get to dip :( I couldn't exchange it because I opened it before I read the label. I don't know why I read the label considering I don't usually for cheese sauce, but I'm glad I did.
When went in the Disney Store (of course) the greeter decided we needed to know every single item on sale and every movie that we can pre-order and she told us all this in a very whiny/nasally voice. I couldn't get away from her fast enough! We were looking at the princess dresses and I really hope they aren't going to be the Halloween costumes this year. None of the dresses look like they belong to the Disney princesses! The Cinderella dress looks like Little Bo Peep for goodness sake. I really wanted to get the rest of the dresses this year for Tabitha's dress-up closet, but not if you can't even recognize who the dresses are supposed to be. I had to keep Tabs out of Carlton Cards and Spencer's Gifts because they are carrying two new Care Bears that she really, really wants and she won't understand why I won't get them. What she doesn't know is that we already ordered them and my UPS guy will be bringing them to us on Thursday. Oh, and back to the princess stuff, when we were at Wal-Mart the other day we saw lots of new princess toys. And the Disney Store is finally carrying the adventurer line of toys so it's going to be a very Disney Christmas and birthday for my little one. Actually, I've been buying things for a couple months now and I have a nice little stash of gifts in my garage. I keep grabbing things on sale and just putting them away. The best deal I've gotten so far is a huge Jungle Book 2 playset from the Disney Store for $1.99!
Alright, enough of my shopping tales, lol. My kid is keeping herself awake by watching Match Game because we have to pick Chris up from work in a bit. She doesn't want to go to sleep until after we pick him up. I'm indulging her because we had such a nice night together :)
