08/11/2003 Archived Entry: "summer plans"

Even though it's only August and we're now entering the super hot time of the year, all our summer plans are done. Last week we had dino class every day at the Natural History Museum. There were lots of crafts which I'm thankful for because I just don't do crafts with Tabs here at home very often. She does plenty of creative stuff on her own, but we rarely sit down and make something together. Anyway, it was no issue getting to the class as it's only a 30 minute drive, but coming home at 3:00pm, was a bit harder; Very thick traffic. One day it took us an hour and a half. It just makes me glad that I don't do that every day anymore like when I was going to school and working. Thursday night we went to the Kodak theatre and saw "Dora the Explorer, Live!" Tabitha was totally enthralled with everything. I had bought our tickets so early that we had fabulous seats. The show was pretty much what you'd expect a preschool show to be, Chris said the voices were giving him a head ache, lol. Today we have a birthday party to attend. I guess there will be a bounce house and sprinklers so the kids should be in heaven. Chris is off work the next two days, we're going to go spend Wednesday at Disneyland. We haven't been there since June which is a record for us.
Speaking of Disney, last night Chris and I were pricing a trip to Disney World since we plan to go in the next couple of years. Much less expensive than I was fearing. We'll probably end up just using the Walt Disney Travel agents because they even book your air fare for you. It might be less expensive to do everything ourselves, but for once, I don't want to do it all. I'd love to sit back and have it all planned. And if we work hard, we'll be able to afford it, so why not. Originally, we wanted to go next January for Tabitha's 5th birthday, but now we're looking at January 2005.
Well, my kid has her toast and is sitting down to The Wiggles and I'm off to shower. I'll probably have to turn on the a/c by the time I get out.
