01/06/2005 Archived Entry: "shopping and setting up"

We went to the mall yesterday for three items, a specific pair of white, sparkly cords, tennis shoes, and a warm coat for Tabitha. We came away with plain jeans, no shoes, a doll from Children's Place, no coat and a scarf. Oh well, at least I spent less than I had planned, right? Coat shopping for a child in January is apparently not possible. Jr. and Misses stores have coats, but not children's stores. Oh they have some, on clearance and in sizes that don't come remotely close to fitting. Chris and I did fall in love with one blue fuzzy, but the child nixed it immediately saying it looked liked she would be surrounded by water. We found another one that we all liked, but it just fit and we weren't sure it would even fit next month let alone next year. So we bought a scarf to match her ear warmer headband and we'll just bundle her in a jacket and accessories. I'm only really thinking of the times we go to Disneyland because a jacket is actually just fine for almost everything that we do.

Chris got the bassinet down yesterday and it's all washed and clean and put together now. He also found my Baby Bjorn! Yay! I had given up hope since I had looked in every single box and bag in the garage save one. Guess which one it was in? So it was cleaned as well as my sling. Now we just need to install the car seat. I had wanted to get the car washed and vacuumed really well first, but that's pretty pointless with all the rain. So I guess we'll just vacuum it out ourselves and get that seat in. Tabitha and I picked out the clothes to take to the hospital. She loves being involved in every aspect and it just warms my heart.

Today is laundry, vacuuming, dishes, lessons and playing. Games, I'm sure. We've been playing so many. Last night we all played Monopoly Jr. and then Tabitha and Chris played Magic Kingdom, that's the fourth and third time respectively since we got them at Christmas. We still need to play Scene It with all three of us and we haven't even opened Uno Attack which is amazing considering how much Tabitha wanted it. Perhaps tonight, although Chris is going shopping for a new toy after work, so he might be a bit on the distracted side.
