08/23/2005 Archived Entry: "in which I ramble on"

Haven't had the time to really sit down and type in a few days. Let's see, what have we been doing? Saturday we had hula as usual then we headed to the fairgrounds so Tabitha could set up her entry. She was accepted into the collections competition for this year's fair. Her category is most unusual as she entered her bouncy ball collection. I hope she at least places, but she's just so giddy to be entered that she honestly doesn't care if she wins or not. That evening, my sister and I went to see Chris in his play. To be honest, it's not my style of play, but I loved seeing my husband in his role as a stoned, dense, mailman from Canada. Plus it was fun going with my sister whom I haven't spent any time with since she's been home on summer break.

Sunday, hmmm, what the heck did we do Sunday? Oh I know! Tabitha and I had a playdate. First we stopped at Disneyland to get some quick shopping done, but we werent' quick enough and ended up 45 minutes late to our date. I felt bad, especially since Tabi's friend had somewhere to be at a certain time, but Tabitha said she had plenty of fun, so I'm glad she didn't feel gypped out of play time. Once we were home, I worked on Tabitha's dress up area and went through all her dress up shoes as I knew many of them just didn't fit any more. After that I cleaned up the play room as well. After that was done, all of us headed to the back yard for some relaxing. I love sitting in my little sitting area with Daisy at my feet, Chris by my side and Tabitha playing in front of me. I had fun with bubbles for a little while too.

Chris and I have been in a movie mood lately. Recently we've watched "Hitch," "Catch Me if You Can," and "Meet the Fockers." All were very enjoyable. We borrowed two more movies from my bil, but didn't get home in time tonight to watch one.

Daisy pulled up for the first time today on her exersaucer. She was standing just fine up until I called her name so I could get a pic of her looking at the camera, at which point she toppled over. She duplicated the task later on a couch. She enjoyed her yams all weekend and then was given applesauce last night. She enjoyed it just fine though I think she was suprised at first that it had a different taste from the yams. I talked Tabitha into trying a spoonful, she still hates it, lol.

Today was spent shopping for the most. We went to the mall for a little while, then over to a shoe store that was highly recommended, but I was sorely disappointed. We also squeezed in a quick stop at Best Buy and Barnes and Noble where Tabitha picked out another Magic Treehouse Research Guide. This one is on Greece and the Olympics. Next it was time to take Tabitha to bowling where she had a grand time and scored two points higher than her average. We then went to my in-laws' as they hadn't seen the kids in a while and were invited to stay for pizza. After dinner we went to Target, CompUSA and Old Navy before finally coming home to dump two very worn out kids into their beds.
