Every time I sit down and start a post, something happens (usually involving little people) that requires me to get up and abandon my post.

We delivered my mother's Christmas gift last Thursday and she seemed to really like it. We got her one of those personal wall calendars filled with pics of the kids. It may have taken forever to get here, but I think it turned out really nice and was totally worth the wait. She always has a calendar up which is why I thought it would be the perfect gift for her.

Tabitha had a hula performance Sunday. She and I went to that leaving Chris and the babe home. He actually took her to his parents for a little while and borrowed their SUV because we purchased a dresser for Daisy the night before at Home Goods. It goes perfectly with the garden theme of what will soon be the girls' bedroom. I think we got a very good deal on the dresser, it does have some imperfections, but I consider them of little consequence. Since we put it in Tabitha's closet I didn't want to put Daisy's clothes in it yet, so I've just put outfits she still has to grow into.

We had gone to Gymboree last week and picked out two outfits and a sweater in a new line of theirs; adorable green turtles :) Tabitha wanted something from there, but there just wasn't anything that was right for an almost 7 year old so we hit Limited Too instead. We bought her two pairs of jeans and ended up with 7 slims. She's never worn slims before but they seemed right this time. I also bought her a robe as she's been wanting a new one for quite a while. I don't really blame her considering her old robe was bought when she was 2! She doesn't really need anything else right now, so we forewent any tops. I still need to take her to Naartjie though as I've promised her an outfit from there.

And as long as I'm talking about clothes for the kids, the girls and I went to the Anne Geddes flagship store yesterday at Downtown Disney. We had gone a few months ago when it first opened and I fell in love with an outfit. I thought it would look perfect once Daisy was a bit older so I waited and decided to get it yesterday. Turns out, Ms. Geddes disagrees with my assessment as she only designed it to go up to a 6-12 month size. Bummer. But they did get a new line in that I really liked so I was happy to get a cute dress for Daisy instead.

The kids and I went to California Adventure yesterday just because. It was a bit crowded being a holiday and all, but we still managed to have a pretty good time I think. After that we went straight to bowling where Tabitha found herself with a partner. He's immature and unfocused, but at least she has a partner now which is all she cares about.
