Whew! Finally time to sit and type for a minute, or possibly an hour considering how much updating I have to do here :)

We started Friday off with a late pancake and scrambled egg breakfast and then headed out to Disneyland. The goal was to character hunt and we were quite successful! We found 4 new characters, plus one fairly rare one whose autograph Tabitha did not have, all from the movie Hunchback of Notre Dame. We had a lovely day all in all. Chris and Tabs rode Pirated of the Carribbean, she and I rode Buzz Lightyear where I managed to get my all time high score without the ride stopping and ranked 73rd for the day (as of that time of day, of course). We then hopped over to California Adventure and toured the two factories and picked up an item for someone on my Disney email list. We then headed home and had a very late lunch. I spent part of the evening updating my Disneyland Characters Site which is both fun and tedious. Once the chickadees were asleep, Chris and I settled in to watch National Treasure. It was exactly what I expected which means I enjoyed it immensely, I don't care what other people say :)

Saturday morning we were all dressed and ready to head out to hula when we received a phone call saying there wasn't class that morning afterall. So Daisy was put down to a nap, Tabitha was put to playing, Chris took over and I ran an errand. Once home I was semi-restless so we loaded into the car and headed out. First stop was Babies R Us which might as well have been called "Stupid People R Us" that day. Slow and stupid, I might add and I'm not just talking about people who worked there. But we did find what we went there for so it wasn't a total loss. We briefly went to Payless but I didn't find anything I liked. Next stop was Cold Stone Creamery in honor of Tabitha's half birthday. Tabitha chose Tangerine Sorbet with M&Ms mixed in, I chose Oatmeal Cookie Dough with chocolate chips and Chris chose Strawberry something or other with white chocolate chips mixed in. After dessert, we walked next door for lunch, lol. We chose Pick Up Stix which is not someplace we'd eaten before but one is opening near us very soon. Man were we salivating over the menu! They will substitue tofu in any single dish which means we can eat our favorites such as Kung Pao. We were fairly full from our ice cream though so we just split eggrolls and steamed rice. Next stop was Target to search the clearance toys but we failed to take into account that the Target we went to wasn't any good. We did end up with a toy for each kid and pj's for Daisy before deciding to go to a different Target. Daisy got another toy and outfit and a new skirt for Tabitha. Homeward bound where we relaxed for all of thirty minutes before I had to get dinner into Tabs and get her dressed as she had a performance last night. I stayed home with Daisy though so it was just Chris and Tabs. After the baby went down I went into Tabitha's room with the intention of picking up the last of her Kelly dolls that were out and instead did a very thorough cleaning and now the room looks really nice again. When Tabitha returned home and walked into her room she was quite pleased :)

Today was full as well, but I'll wait to type that up later.
