Disneyland Valentine's Date

Ruby's sooo Excited!
Ang, Brady, & Aubrey on Dumbo.
Me and my Valentine's dates on Pirates!
Trevor and Auntie Kelly.
Kim and T.T.

Considering a bad day at work and some convincing from Kim, I decided to leave work early and take my girls to Disneyland for a Valentine's date! This was Abby's first time and Ruby's third time, but the first time for me to take them together by myself. We had a great time, even though I am physically exhausted. The logistics of the whole thing was crazy! Getting in and out of strollers and rides, taking turns holding each of them, making sure they eat! It is a good thing Kelly came along to be my surrogate spouse. She is amazing and my kids really love her. Thanks Kel! We were also joined my Kim and her two kids and the Allen Family. Trevor and Brady continue to be hysterical together! I think Ruby's favorite ride was my hip and my sweet Abby was in awe the entire time. She went on all the rides with us and had a jaw dropping expression on each of them. Ruby continues to surprise me - she wasn't even scared on Pirate's of the Caribbean! Even during the cannon fights and the "slides" in the dark, she was really good. For anyone who know Ruby, that's shocking. She gets scared when T.T. makes lion noises. The girls fell asleep on the way home. I got them in their beds by 8:45, through on my p.j.'s, and was asleep by 9:15. Ruby didn't get up until 6:20 - Abby at 6:45. I told Anthony this morning that I think that was the most non-sick sleep I've had since Ruby was born.

Sounds like a great night! I'm very proud of you for taking them by yourself, and I'm very impressed with Ruby! Congratulations on the sleep (o:
