Chris stayed with Tabitha at hula yesterday while I took Daisy with me and went to Target. I got a few more Easter items, but I didn't want to buy too much because I'm unsure of what I actually have. I tend to buy stuff all the time and just put it away and either give it as a surprise, put it in the Mom Store or even give it at Christmas or birthday if it's that time of year. So I know I have some things to go in Tabitha's Easter basket, I just have to make a list to figure out how much more I should buy. Daisy will only be getting a stuffed bunny and a Who Loves Baby album since she obviously could not care less about Easter.
After I picked up Chris and Tabitha we went to Toys R Us for their Easter event. It was a scavenger hunt through the store and which consisted of solving clues and collecting stickers. Once all the stickers were collected, she received a goodie bag with some decent stuff in it including a Scooby-Doo comic book and a mini Polly Pocket activity book.
Today we (or more appropriately, Chris) are finally doing what we've said we were going to do for the last 3 years; taking up the carpet in the playroom. Chris has been working on it for a little over an hour now and it's going really well. The floor has tile (cheap tile, but tile nonetheless) on it so we don't have to do anything but clean the floor. Then we are going to lay down some foam mats so Tabitha doesn't have to sit on a hard, cold floor to play. She also wants a few small rugs from Ikea to throw around but we haven't bought those yet. After the rug is all taken care of, we'll move our empty shelf from the living room into the playroom and then put Daisy's folding screen that will display her pictures in that spot. We'll also move Tabitha's folding screen to the same spot which will open up a bit more space on the TV wall. The only problem is we forgot to make sure the photographer took a vertical 8x10 of Daisy at her 1 month photo shoot. So we won't have one to put in the screen. I do have an 8x10 of the same photo I used on her announcements so I'll put that one in. We must remember to get the right kind at her 2 month appt.
