everybody's happy...

Ok, so because I waited until the last minute for xmas shopping this year, I went into it without a plan. I started out buying gifts for both Allyson and Haleigh, but it turned out that Haleigh had way more than Allyson. So two days before Christmas I shopped primarily for Allyson.
It never occured to me until I was putting the gifts under the tree that Allyson ended up with WAY more than Haleigh. Im talking WAY more.
So, I had to take away several of Allysons gifts and save them for her birthday. It turns out that I had a few gifts of Haleigh's from last Christmas stashed away, so I rewrapped them and gave those to her this year. She never knew!
So now Im ahead of the game for Allyson's birthday, and they both loved what they got this year!
Lesson learned: Shop early and and have a determined # of gifts for each kid.

Christmas morning was a blast! The mounds of wrapping paper and little bit of chaos was totally worth it! I have to figure out how to post some pictures on here!

jokes by allyson

"What do you get when you put an apple in a Christmas tree?
Give up?

A Pineapple! "


"Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Clause"
"Clause who?"

"Santa Claus Ho HO HO!"

Ornament Down!...

Ok... so we are sitting in the living room with our rather large christmas tree, and Haleigh informs me that there is an "ormanent down" behind the tree. A casualty of the drooping branches I assume. She asked if she could go behind the tree to "rescue the ornament". So with my permission, she goes carefully under the tree so as not to knock down any other ornaments. She did gently brush one of the branches, and thats when she says (and Im not kidding) " Sorry Christmas Tree, I didnt see you there."
The ornament was rescued and placed carefully on a thicker branch.

3 Bits...

Im hoping to use this 3 Little Bits blog to share little bits of humor from my

"3 little bits"!

The first "Little Bit" is Allyson, she is now 5. She is a singer/performer/actress, if you will. You could say she is a triple threat. I expect one day to be attending the academy awards, and she WILL be a recipient!

My second "Little Bit" is Haleigh, she is 3. She isnt shy. In fact she is very vocal when her oldest sister is giving her a hard time. She has quickly learned how to stick up for herself! Her favorite color is blue, and she LOVES peanut butter and jelly!

My third (and final) "Little Bit" is Lauryn. Currently she is 9 months. Amazing how time flies! She is at the crawling and creeping stage, and does not like to sit still! With so much to explore and discover, I cant say I blame her!

I decided to start this blog first because I love to talk about my kids. I also thought that it may bring a smile or a chuckle to someone else to read about the daily things my kids do.

This is my first attempt at blogging so bare with me...
