Sunday was a nice day. We went to Krispy Kreme for breakfast. The "hot now" sign was lit so that means free glazed! Yay! Do all Krispy Kremes do that, I wonder? We had wanted to go the CompUSA to look at the Disney computer monitor for future referance, but they didn't open until 11 so we headed home. Or tried to at least. I had planned to drop off Chris and the little one and take the big one with me to the grocery store. But there is tons of construction right now near our house (they're making the street go under the cross street and the railroad tracks and building another new side street) and we couldn't turn where we usually turn. Or the next street. Or the next for that matter. We had to go so far out of our way and were going to pass by the grocery store to get home by that point so we just all went shopping. We got some work done around the house once we were home and had a nice lunch and then headed out to a nearby city birthday celebration. It was supposed to be a little carnival type thing and it looked really cool as we drove by and circled it. The problem was everyone apparently had the same idea as there was no parking for at least a mile. We decided not to hoof it and went to my in-laws' instead. We dropped off Tabitha, who spent a lovely afternoon with them in their spa, and we kept Daisy with us and went to Target and Babies R Us. Man, time warps happened. We must have spent at least an hour in each place. Found a sleep mask for Miss Tabi, btw (Thanks for the tip, Jill!). When we went back to get Tabs, my in-laws invited us out to dinner so we all went to a local Mexican place. The food was pretty good, even if they did bring Tabitha's food on too hot of a plate. I'm sorry, but if you have to use a potholder to carry it, don't put it in front of my 6 year old. We sent it back and had her put the food on a different plate.

I declared Monday movie day. We had 3 kinds of popcorn and various candies and I put our sodas in big, refillable cups. We stayed in our pj's and plopped down in the living room. After our third movie though, I was getting antsy. Apparently it wasn't such a great idea I had, for me anyway. So, off we went to Disneyland (of course!). Tabs and Chris rode Mansion while I took Daisy and went shopping and bought Tabitha some golden mouse ears. They are special for the 50th birthday this year. I plan for all of us to get a pair, especially Daisy since she was born this year. When she turns 50, she can wear them to Disneyland's 100th birthday :) After a snack we grabbed fastpasses for Buzz Lightyear and then Tabitha and I rode the carrousel. She and I then rode Buzz while Chris stayed off with Daisy. No repeats of last week, thankyouveddymuch. At one point during the ride they take your picture and when you get off the ride you can go to a monitor and email your picture to yourself. So Tabitha and I waited for*ever* to get up to the monitor so we could sent our pic to my email. It still hasn't shown up in my inbox :(

Today was a long, tiring day and it's not over yet. I'll talk about today, sometime tomorrow :)
