11/23/2005 Archived Entry: "we get around"

The girls and I were out most of the day today. We started the day off at the donut shop where Tabitha talked me into getting a dozen so we'll be giving thanks for donuts tomorrow morning. Then it was off to Babies R Us where we bought some Christmas gifts for Daisy. We also went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to purchase a wedding gift and while they were wrapping it we walked to Target for a snack and light browsing. Back to the Beyond and the gifts still weren't wrapped so we toured the store before finally heading out. We made a quick stop at the grocery store and came home where I fed both kids lunch and put the Wee Miss to bed. Tabitha got some good dress-up time in while I sat at the computer feeling sorry for myself (still the shoulder thing). Once baby was up she and I sat in the living room for awhile before I called sister time and stuck them in the playroom. I got us ready to go again and off to the mall we went. Good grief it was crowded! You wouldn't think it would be like that before the big sales but it was positively insane. It took forever just to get into the parking lot. I have a "take the first spot I see" policy so at least parking was no big deal. I just head to the back and walk past all the bozos who are too lazy to walk the few extra feet.

I bought Daisy's Christmas Eve. PJs and Christmas Day outfit. I also bought her a dress I saw at Baby Gap the other day and fell in love with. It's totally ugly and I had to have it :) Sadly, they only had a 2T so it will be another year before she can wear it. Until then, I'll just gaze upon it fondly, lol. Tabitha chose a Children's Place doll to add to her collection.

At this point, Chris met us there and took over the girls because I got my hair cut. It's about 8-inches shorter now- eek! I was extremely nervous, but I had the same guy who did Chris's hair last time so that helpped calm me since I'm familiar with his work. I think it's good, but will take some getting used to.

We then made a quick stop at Target where I left the family at the snack bar and grabbed some basics for the next few days as well as bought Tabitha's Christmas Eve. PJs. We got home pretty late but gave Tabitha a decent dinner since she had been living on junk food for the last couple of hours. We finally had both the little ones in bed at quarter of ten and Chris and I were able to collapse with our own dinner.
