We got off to a slow start yesterday morning due to the lateness of the night before. Both girls were up much too early, but we kind of just took it easy. Once Daisy was down for her morning nap, I instructed Tabitha to play computer games and leave Chris alone. It was his one day off and I told him to do something that wasn't worthwhile so he played some video games. I headed out to Henry's for some groceries and stopped at McD's on the way home for two reasons; I wanted to get a Diet Coke for a Monopoly game piece and see which Madame Alexander dolls they had for Tabitha. I hit the motherlode. When I asked the cashier which ones they had, he countered with asking me which ones I needed. I told him all of them as we hadn't purchased any yet and I would take one of each different one they had. He left, went into some back room and came back with one of every doll! I thanked him profusely, I can tell you that. I felt funny spending twenty bucks at McDonald's and walking out with a big ol' bag though. Can't say I've ever done that before, even before I was vegetarian. But I'm so glad I stopped there and Tabitha was thrilled when I got home. Chris, being almost as crazy as I am, immediately went out the McD's around the corner and bought two more drinks for games pieces, lol.

After lunch we went to a pumpkin patch at the mall so I could get some pics of the girls. Daisy was less than pleased with the feel of straw beneath her feet. We laid down a cloth for her, but she still didn't like that. Chris managed to distract her enough so it all worked out.

We then went ahead and shopped a bit. I stopped at the Clinique counter, Tabitha got some bouncy balls, we scoured the clearance stuff at Old Navy, but since none of us really need anything, we were looking for real rock bottom deals and never found any so we left empty handed. I bought Tabitha some earrings as I hadn't done that since she got her ears pierced back in April. One pair is some small dangle earrings and she thought those were pretty darn cool. She confided to me that she couldn't believe she was grown up enough for long earrings :) The best purchase would be Daisy's Christmas dress! We found the absolute perfect one and it will go perfectly with Tabitha's blue dress from last year, which she will wear again this year for pictures.

The evening was lackadasical with a late dinner for Chris and I while watching the Housewives. We did spend a little bit of time outside with Daisy on our carpet area watching Tabitha swing and Chris and I doing a bit more work on the playhouse area.
