Saturday morning I woke up much too late so Chris took Tabitha to hula. Once Daisy woke from her morning nap, I got both of us ready and then headed out on some errands. I finally bought the sunshades for the car windows. Now Miss Daisy's time in the back seat can be more enjoyable. That was the nice thing about the infant seat, the movable canopy for shade. Too bad they can't figure out a way to put them on bigger car seats.

We got home after Tabitha and Chris and we all kind of did whatever. The Dodger game was on in the living room, Tabitha played on her computer for a bit, I got some work done. After dinner I was working on the crib bumper again and broke a needle, which happens. Then I broke another and the tip flew off and hit me in the chin. Since my bobbin thread broke twice as well, I figured being hit in the face with a flying needle was a sign that I was not supposed to be working on that project right then. I put it aside and headed outside to do mow the lawns. Just as I was finishing the back, I ran over the dog's tether and broke it. It just wasn't my day, I guess.

Sunday we all went to a Hawai'ian fair that I cannot pronounce or spell so that description will have to do. We were there because Tabitha's halau was performing. Chris and Daisy set up near us but out of the way and I stayed with the little kids. Thankfully another mom always stays with them and she's been doing this longer plus her husband dances. If I was on my own, I think they'd be in trouble, lol. There were only six girls for the first number though and 8 for their second so it really wasn't that big of a deal. I only dressed two girls, including my own, between songs. At the end the entire halau did a dance that they learned, but the little ones only worked on it one day, as far as I know, so a few of them were a little lost and had to follow other dancers. They'll learn it better soon enough though.

After we were done, we packed everything up and headed to the car to put away everything. We then hiked back to the festival area and decided we did not need to wait in those lines for food. We checked out the booths, but they had them set up kind of odd and too close together so it was difficult. Plus, I had forgotten to put sunscreen on our feet and I was worried about that. We were all hungry and tired, which makes me cranky, lol, so we decided to leave. We stopped for cold drinks and restroom on the way home and finally made it home around 4:30. My legs were killing me from all the standing around I had done so dinner was quick and easy. Tabitha had mac and cheese with assorted veggies and Ritz with hummus. Chris and I had fruit and cheese and hummus on French bread; not the right type of bread, at all, but I made due with what I had.

Once I was rested and things that needed to be done got done, I went back to work on the crib bumper. I promptly broke the needle. Something had to be wrong so I did a bit of digging around the innards and unbent something that looked bent and thought it might be causing the needles to hit it. I guess that was it because I had no more issues and was able to finish one short bumper. Tonight I make all the ties then move on to the next short bumper before doing the two long sides.

Though today is half over, the summary shall wait for another post as I'm tired of typing :)
