10/07/2005 Archived Entry: "boo-k (get it?)"

Tabitha and I went out to Target to do our big shopping this morning. I know I go there all the time, but I do big shopping twice a month to pick up our staples. We perused their dollar section and found fall stamps, halloween stamps, a glow in the dark ball and halloween barrettes. Then we found a space Mr. Potato Head on clearance so we picked that up as well. We also got Pooh's Heffalump Halloween DVD as Tabitha has really fallen in love with the character Lumpy from the Heffalump movie. I passed on the arch even though I really want it. We have a lot of things going on right now and it just didn't seem like a good use of the money. I'm sure they'll have it again next year and we'll get it then.

Once home, I dropped off Tabitha and the bags and headed to the grocery store before picking up an early lunch for Chris and I since he had leave for work around 11. Tabitha took her foam stamps and made a Halloween Boo-k, hence the title of this post :) She chose to make it a picture book with no words, I think it came out really cute.

Yesterday I worked on two projects. I took down all the pictures over our couch and hung up one of our nice Walt Disney posters. I plan to put another one up as well, but my other Walt Disney poster needs a frame. My other project was the play room (again). I re-cleaned out that closet. It wasn't messy again, I just needed to change the way it was used. So my sewing machine, serger and sewing box have been relegated to the garage. But they are still very accessible sitting on a table. It's not that big of a deal to go get my machine from the garage and bring it to the dining room when I want to use it, same as when I had to take it out of the closet. This left a lot of empty space in the closet and that's where Tabitha's craft items went. We're planning on getting a little two shelf bookcase to make it much more organized, but for now this will do. Her craft table was always overflowing with her creativity and never got cleaned up. Plus now, the Wee Miss can play in the playroom and we don't have to worry about her eating a marker. We also packed away the easel. Tabitha simply does not use it and it was taking up too much space. We're not giving it away because we feel Daisy will use it in a couple years. After the easel was gone we were able to reconfigure the foam mats which makes up our flooring. Looks fabulous in there now. Oh, I had taken advantage of some clearance sales at disneyshopping.com and my purchase was delivered yesterday, a Tinkerbell trashcan and also some decorative Tinkerbell items which we stuck to the windows. Nice accents to the Peter Pan room, I feel. Now we need to work on a small rug for the space that was opened up by moving the mats. I'll check the Disney site later. I think they have a Tinkerbell bath mat which would be perfect because it would have a non-skid backing. I still want to get a few collector items from Disneyland, but as I mentioned before, that kind of thing will wait until after Christmas and the birthdays.

The kids both seem healthy now which means Daisy is sleeping better, thank goodness!, and Tabitha doesn't have to miss hula or cancel her playdate for tomorrow. She and I will resume lessons on Monday which will include the spelling program that came in the mail this week. I'm excited to use it and Tabitha doesn't mind it which is all good.
