As I mentioned, yesterday was quite busy. First we went to Tabitha's hula class. While she was in class, Chris and I walked all around the park while pushing Daisy in her stroller. It was a really nice temp in the morning, perfect for walking. Once class was out, we headed to the Girl Scout Olympics. It didn't seem very well organized at first and I admit to being rather disappointed with how it was going. Chris thought it might be best if I took Daisy home for a little while. After a couple hours I went back to the school and was just in time for the awards ceremony and watched Tabitha get increasingly more excited each time her name was called to come up for a ribbon. She ended up with the silver medal overall for Daisies. It sounds a bit more impressive than it is as there were only 3 Daisies competing anyway, lol. So she was guaranteed a medal. But she didn't know that and was so genuinely thrilled with her ribbons and medal.

Once we were done there, we made a quick stop at home so I could wash Tabitha and put her hair up with her fern around her bun. Then it was off to a travel show where the halau performed. Tabitha's class was to dance the same one as the last show. Only one other girl from Tabitha's class came to perform so it was just to be the two of them. Neither minded, but a slightly older girl had the right costume with her and ended up doing the dance with Tabitha and M. In any case, once again, they were adorable and the crowd loved them, especially thier umis (hip shakers).

After the show, we went to my in-laws and played "pass the baby" for a bit before heading out to dinner. Daisy decided she wanted to be in bed during dinner and was cheesed as all get out that we were not putting her in her bed. If it's a nap, she has no problem sleeping in someone's arms or her car seat, but if it's nighttime, we better put her in her bed NOW! lol Chris and I spent quite a bit of time passing her back and forth and took turns taking her outside. Hopefully with the time change she'll be able to hold off her bedtime a little bit and make going out to dinner a little easier. The food was good at least :)

We got home and got both kids in bed and Chris sat down to do an online draft for fantasy baseball and I watched Iron Chef. Well, I started to watch it, but fell asleep.

Today we stayed home all day. Tabitha and did a bit of planting in the back yard, Chris and I played a lot of Roller Coaster Tycoon, Tabitha read and played various things and Daisy did what she tends to do. After dinner we popped some popcorn and watched Aladdin with pop-up facts turned on. We only watched half and will probably finish it tomorrow evening.
