Yesterday was supposed to be a water play date. We had the pool, mister and sprinkler all ready to be put to use. But alas, our August is acting more like June. It is overcast and chilly every morning and not even a little warm until the afternoon. It's like we skipped summer. But I feel very ready for fall, other than the lack of fall clothing for my little one. I need to do some serious shopping for her. I'm thinking one pieces, but I don't want them to look like pj's. But separates look funky on her due to the cloth diaper butt and dresses will just be a hinderance to her budding crawling skills. I think a trip to Old Navy or Target is in order.

Anyway, we still had a nice play date, we just didn't put the kids in swimsuits. They all had a great time, we had 6 kids here total if you want to count Little Miss D. I don't have enough chairs at my table for that many people, so we put the kids outside to eat lunch. My friend and I had to eat inside though because I don't have an outside adult table. With that many kids I always put the swing up as I don't feel it's safe, but I left out the roller coaster and they had a great time taking turns on that. They also played Polly's and with a pirate ship and castle and got out instruments to be a band. All in all, a great success, I'd say.

Chris came home not too long after our play date ended and we decided to go to the mall. We munched on cookies from Mrs. Fields and wandered around for awhile without a purpose. We stopped at Borders for Tabitha to get a book but that was really it. Oh, we also went into Linen N' Things because I want to redo the hall bathroom and am looking for a wrought iron round mirror. Ideally it would be reminiscent of the sun, but I'm open to just scroll work if necessary. I found one I liked, but it was more of a decorative mirror and nowhere near big enough to be functional. I use the hall bathroom for my hair and makeup so the mirror needs to be useful.

Once home, we fed Tabitha and then Chris took her to hula while I cleaned up the house and played with Daisy. After Tabitha went to bed, Chris and I had dinner (baked potatoes) and watched "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List." Both were very enjoyable. Love Kathy Griffin and would like to see her stand-up sometime.
