Fairly long day. We were supposed to see an early showing of Finding Nemo, but we didn't get to the vicinity of the theater until about ten minutes after showtime. So we went to the next thing on the list... scooter shopping.

Darby had been bugging me for a scooter for quite a while so I let her use piggy-bank birthday money to buy one. Then, of course, Shelby had to have one as well. So hers was an early birthday present since her birthday is a month and a half away.

Then, of course, since the girls got to get goodies, daddy wanted one too. I'd been hearing "Calling All Angels" on the radio for weeks and was eager to get the latest Train album, but put it off. However, this morning I saw the video and that just put me over the edge. So, after scooter shopping we went to Best Buy to pick up the new Train CD. So far, VERY cool. If you dig Train, that is. I mean, it's not for everybody.

Then I needed a haircut so we tried to squeeze that in before the next Showing of Finding Nemo, but the line was just too long. So we went to lunch at Chick-Fil-A instead. That worked out better anyway. So we went to see Finding Nemo finally after lunch and that was pretty good. Although I think I laughed more at some of the trailers.

After Finding Nemo I got that haircut. Turned out to be a good thing we waited as I was able to walk right in and sit down and get it done.

So then we went scooter riding at the park. We swung by the house so I could get my roller blades (they're usually already in the car but had been taken out for space reasons before our recent trip) to keep up with the kids. I'm not sure how long we did that but I don't think the girls realized that scooter riding for any measurable amount of time or distance is more work and more tiring than bike riding. Shelby's tiny little body puttered out really fast, and she was suddenly wishing we didn't open the box (meaning, she wished she had answered differently when asked if she wanted to open the scooter when we got it or wait until her birthday).

Tired as everyone became, we went by the grandparents for dinner and to visit. Like I said, kind of a long day.
