09/21/2004 Archived Entry: "potato parts"

Tabitha and I dropped Chris off at work and then headed to Disneyland. Actually, we were mainly in California Adventure. It was rather hot, low '90s, but there was a breeze and sometimes it was just flat out windy, so we didn't feel overheated. When we were on our way from California Adventure into Disneyland, we decided to stop at the toy store and there was tons of new Mr. Potato Head parts. We were both very excited. What you do there is get a box and you pay a flat price for as many parts as you can stuff into the box. Of course, they assume you'll get a potato, but you don't have to and considering how many we have at home, we definitely did not buy a potato head. So we were able to fit all but 4 things we wanted into our box. I must have packed and repacked it half a dozen times to get as much as possible in there. When we went to pay, the cashier asked if we were able to get everything we wanted and Tabitha said no so he took her back to the parts and had her show him what wouldn't fit and he let us get them anyway! Very, very nice and certainly unexpected.
After we were done there, we went into Disneyland, but only rode a couple things before running to get Chris. We opted to go home rather than back to Disneyland because Tabitha was very anxious to make "The Magical World of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head at Disneyland." We all worked together and have it all set up on our coffee table. I'll try and remember to get some pics tomorrow.
