Happy Halloween!

Just a brief post to share the girls looking adorable in theor costumes. Kira and Korra are too little to go trick or treating around the neighborhood, so we went to the Galleria in Roseville. Kira had fun saying trick or treat and getting candy., Karly was thrilled that people recognized who she was and were commenting on how great her costume was. It was the perfect amount of fun for us.

Back from Disney and only five days left!

My siblings and I decided to take a family vacation together to Disneyland last Friday, Initially, we weren't going to go, but because I am starting a new job in less than a week, we decided we might not get another opportunity soon . We left on Friday at four in the morning, hoping that the girls would sleep through the six hour drive. Luckily for us, it worked and we made it to Burbank at around 11 a.m. We stopped at our favorite place to eat, Portos, and then settled into our hotel room. Disney was uneventful, maybe even a little boring,. There isn't much you can do when you have an almost two year old and an eight month old, but we did manage to get on some rides thanks to my sister volunteering to watch the girls. On Sunday evening, the night before we are set to leave, Kira started throwing up. Other than vomiting she wasn't acting sick, so I didn't think much of it. Later on that evening, Korra also started throwing up, once at 2a.m. in my hair. Upon waking Monday morning , David was also sick! Not good. Checkout is at noon and I have three sick people! We decided to brace for the worst and hope for the best and hit the road despite the illness. As we were leaving, I noticed the parking spot my sisters car was in, was full of leaked coolant. I called her to tell her and hoped that it was nothing major and they would make it home alright. About five minuted later, I get a text that their car is smoking and they aren't going anywhere. We decided to pick them up at the gas station and get the car to a shop. The car ended up needing a new radiator and would take hours to fix. Meanwhile, Kira throws up again, and we decide we are all better off staying another night. My sisters' family and our family all bunked in one room for the night. Thankfully, we got a call around noon on Tuesday that the car was done. We both finally got on our way back home, and seven hours later we were back. I don't think I ever want to take a trip to Disney again. On a side note, I spoke top my new boss who gave me my first week's schedule. For training I will have to be there during the day for at least a week. This means, David is on duty by himself. I can't lie, I am scared, but there is no option. I love my new job, and this is only temporary. We can manage a week right?
