Chris didn't have rehearsal last night as it was for the female parts only. We needed trash bags so I decided to quickly go to Target. I should not be allowed to go there by myself. In my defense, I only spent $40, it's just I went for $2 trash bags and came home with 8 things. Curse their clearance aisles! So the baby now has a swim diaper and a new sleeper, Tabitha has two tank tops, gardening gloves and a foam mattress topper, Chris and I have trash bags and cat litter, yee-haw. I didn't buy a single toy though, can you believe it? Not that I didn't scour the toy section, there just wasn't anything worth getting for either kid.

And on a completely different subject, my children are odd. Oh, that's not exactly a revelation, I just have one more piece of proof and I'd like to share. Tabitha is the size of an average 6 year old and sleeps in a twin size bed. She crams herself as close to the edge of the bed as possible, which is safe, at least, since it's a loft bed and there's a guard. Why she does this, I don't know. When Chris and I go in to kiss her good-night before we go to bed, I often have him move her to the center of the bed but she just rolls and scoots herself back to the edge. Daisy, on the other hand, is this little baby in a crib. I swear she manages to sleep on every inch of that bed during the course of the night. I thought it was bad sleeping with Tabitha, I can't imagine ever sleeping with Daisy with as much ground as she covers while dreaming.
