My little sweeties will be turning 4, 6, and 9 soon. (I can't believe that I have a nine year old! I'm far too young for that!) I've been trying to decide what to do about their Birthday parties...Ethan and Jonah are two days apart and Hannah's day is two weeks later. I usually combine the boys and have Hannah's separately but this year I thought I would try a little combo deal. I decided this for a couple of reasons. First of all, it would help save some $ to have the parties all on the same day and secondly it would help all of our friends and family members who would otherwise have to spend three Saturday's in a row at our kid's parties. So....I started planning this grand event and was struck with an even better idea. The aquarium! That's right, the new GA Aquarium! I was very happy with my idea but I still had to present it to the kids and David. Instead of a combined party we would take the kids to the aquarium for the day. I calculated that it would actually be less expensive than a party and we have all been dying to visit since it opened last year. Everyone agreed with much excitement and I ordered our tickets this morning. For those of you who are nervous of my departure from the stereotypical party with ice cream, cake and so forth, don't worry we'll still celebrate each little chickadee's special day and I'm sure we'll return to the "norm" next year! Whale sharks, here we come!
Birthday conundrum

sounds like a fantastic idea!! what a special day for your kiddos! although we will miss out on the birthday festivities....maybe we can celebrate at CG one nite?!
I always think birthdays should be celebrated with a giant outing - good choice! Mason loves the moon jellyfish!
And that picture makes your children look like they are leaving for college - SO BIG!
