Daisy has been down for two-and-a-half hours now with some much needed sleep. I'm glad her symptoms have abated and she's feeling some relief. We have decided Tabitha will not be attending hula this evening so that she may get to bed on time to help her body but gymnastics is still up in the air. I'm leaning towards no, but she is rather adamant about going. Including today there are only 4 more classes so skipping one isn't the best idea. I've decided the class isn't really worth it and shall not be signing her up for another session. I want to get her into a my-gym class, but Daisy's class will take priority since she has nothing so far, so Tabitha will have to wait a bit.

I've been working on things for the party this morning while Tabitha worked on math. I've found the balloons, made the banner and put together the activity pages. I like to have something for the kids to do while we wait for everyone to arrive so there are two coloring pages, a word search and a "what is different?" page stapled together for everyone. Of course, after I printed out 44 pages I realized my printer nozzles desperately needed to be cleaned. I took care of that, but I wasn't about to print all those pages out again so they aren't the neatest looking unfortunately. I'm not sure the kids will mind, however.

We received more books today and are now just waiting on two DVD orders, one more party favor and my Gap order and then that should be it! I've done more internet shopping in the last two months than in the last two years.

We did hit a complete wall for Tabitha's big gift. It's hard to explain, which is why I've been vague. Perhaps you've seen it at a mall near you or a fair. In any case, it's a type of ride-on that has four wheels but no pedals and you put your feet up on little foot holds, for lack of a better description, and use your arms and body to power the thing and move around. Tabitha first tried it at the fair last year and then it was being sold at two different malls in November and December and she always wanted to try it again. So, we decided that was what we would get her. We went the first Saturday of January and the kiosk was gone. We called the other mall and it was gone from there too. Extensive internet searching has done us no good. So now, she's getting some small items we know she wants (a Barbie set, Polly Pocket set, Trollz set and a GBA Hello Kitty game) and Heelys for her main gift. She really wants Heelys so she will not be disappointed, that's for sure. I found a sweet story about sisters which will be Daisy's gift to Tabi.
