Birthdays and Disneyland

So today I got my confirmation on Kiers birthday party. YAY!! Everything was finalized with the party planner this morning. So the 28-30 of Jan we will be in Anaheim at the Disneyland resort.

Its a tradition for Kier to celebrate her birthday there. It started when she was three and has continued. We did not get to go last year so this year so be exciting. I'm hoping that I will be able to hang in there for those few days seeing that I'm pregnant. I myself will not get to ride the rides that i normally love. I'm sure i will find other ways to have fun.

I am however a bit disappointed that my plans will not fully follow through. Karl had told me last night that Melissa had said to him that she was taking the girls to Disneyland as well. It came as a bit of a shock because we were planning on taking all five kids with us. I even had a conversation with Melody back in October about my plans. In a way I feel like this was done to ruin our plans. I hope it wasn't......

After a careful discussion, Karl and I decided that it will just be us with my 2 daughters going. We came to the conclusion that it would be pointless for his girls to go to Disneyland twice in the same month. It would no longer be as fun or interesting to them. Not to mention we would not see the excitement in there eyes nor would it be that special anymore. It seems that whenever we try and go somewhere with all the kids it never falls through.

Sea World was a bust also. We had planned to take all the kids as a surprise but Melody decided to go home the night before. She did not want to accept being punished for lying and physically attacking her sister. She called her Mom to pick her up and then Kayla out of the blue decided to go home to. Karl and I decided we should still go with the other kids and that it would serve them right not going due to their behaviors. Low and behold that morning he decided not to go. He said he just wouldn't feel right. I think he was still hurt and felt betrayed.

Anyways I'm looking forward to this trip. I think we will be allowing Kier to bring a friend. I'm sure she would like that. It will be nice to get away for a few days.
