Helen had fun this year, but she says she will sit out next year and watch Aubree play.

Helen did so well in school this year, but we knew she would. This was actually her third year of school. She went to the three and the four year old program at Georgia Christian School and she did very well there as well. It was just very different this year. The ONLY reason she went through the three year old program was because every time we passed the school, she would ask "There's my school! When can I go to school?" (This being when she was 2 years old!) The school is right acrss the street from our church, so we passed it quite often! We knew the teacher Ms. Lori - she is awesome as well. She went from 8:00 - 12:00 every day. She did great - never once cried when we dropped her off or anything like that. But her very first day she went, I made up my mind that none of my other kids would be going to K3. I missed her like crazy! She was ready, but I definetly wasn't. And Aubree never showed the desire until the end of this year to go to school. In fact, when Helen started this year, Aubree woke up one night saying she had a bad dream. We asked what it was and she said she had to get on the school bus and go to school. We were kinda worried! But now she is excited to go to preschool in the fall at the same school as Helen. <br />
But like I said, this year was very different. Georgia Christian is a private christian school, Lake Park is public. We live on the GCS property, so when I thought about her being at school, I would think "Oh, she's just right there." Then remind myself, no she isn't. And she rides the bus, which she loves! For awhile if you asked her what her favorite thing about school was, she would say the bus! Of course at GCS, we know the teachers and we know their beliefs and all that so that was a change too. GCS is a K-12 school with about 250 students, so there is pretty much one class per grade. Helen has good friends she goes to church with and went through two years of school with. I do miss that - knowing the students and their parents.And of course they don't have chapel at Lake Park. But Lake Park is one of the best elementary schools in Georgia and we love it!<br />
We have been very blessed with her teachers so far, hopefully that blessing will continue and with the other girls as well!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-87065118562890187542012-06-12T14:22:00.001-04:002012-06-12T14:22:13.016-04:00End of Kindergarten...Sniff, Sniff!Here is the end of kindergarten.

The next day was water day for kindergarten. While I was getting ready to go, Aubree and Allisyn were eating lunch. This is what I came out to. They took their peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and rubbed them all over their faces! I was pretty mad. I was running late already and now they made a huge mess to clean up and it required a change of clothes. They were so happy with themselvesthough, I wasn't mad for long and of course, ran to get my camera.</div>

I finally got the pictures from my mom's camera from Allisyn's 2nd birthday back in March so here is the post I promised. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Usually I started the girls' birthday parties in the afternoon - you know, so they can get a good nap and be in a good mood. Well, it never turns out that way and they get cranky during their parties. So I thought I would have Allisyn's at 10 in the morning so she would have a better time. Same result. And I got no smiles for pictures! But, I did like having it earlier in the day.</div>

I know the past several posts have been lacking pictures, well this one will make up for it :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past Saturday, the company Chris works for had a family picnic. They do this every year for the employees and their families. They serve lunch, have bounce houses for the kids, different competitions through out the day, and door prizes. Like serious door prizes. This year, they gave away a flat screen TV, a grill, iPad, kindle, ummm...a digital camera I think. We have gone the past two years and are 0-2. Oh, well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, Helen and Aubree stayed at Chris's parents Friday night and we heard there was a community yard sale at one of the nicer neighborhoods in town so we decided to get up early and go. We had to be back by 10:30 to get the girls from Chris's parents, so we only had a couple of hours. We got there and it was CRAZY!!! I think everyone in Valdosta was there! The traffic was awful in the nieghborhood! We spent a good amount of our time in traffic inside the neighborhood. But we found some good stuff for pretty cheap. Every time we would stop and start to get out, Allisyn would say "Me? Me get out?" Every. Time. Haha! </div>

We left the picnic about 3:30 I think. It was too late for the girls to take a nap so Chris had the great idea to go swimming. Had we gone home, we would have fought to keep them wake until a decent bedtime and there would have been lots of fussing and whining. Aubree and Allisyn slept the 10 minutes it took to get home. It worked out perfectly. We went to the pool for awhile, then went home, gave them showers, ate supper, and by that time, it was 6:30 and it didn't take them long to knock out!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Aubree saw this picture, she asked why Allisyn was making that face. Haha! I told her that was not Allisyn and she thought that was the funniest thing!</div>

I need a new camera!! Secondly, you have to remember these are 5, 6, & 7 year olds. They get distracted very easily! Having said that, Helen has improved so much during this seaon! The last two games, she has not had to use the tee at all! (It's non-competitive so they get 6 pitches, then they can hit off the tee for #7.) All the other games, she has had to hit off the tee at least once.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here she is getting a hit.</div>

So aggrivatiing. I mean, she would stay in her bed (this is the girl that when she moved out of her bed at 18 months would ask us is she could get out of bed in the mornings - if we said no, she would stay in there until we told her she could get out), but it was starting to be a battle to get her to be quiet and actually go to sleep! Eventually it got to where she wouldn't sleep at all, then be cranky later. Finally I got smart - I explained to her the difference between a nap and a rest and gave her the choice. A nap, you have to go to sleep. A rest, you don't sleep, you just lay there, but you have to be quiet and still. Well, you tell a child they don't have to take a nap and they will do anything! And what happens when a three year old lays in her bed and stays quiet and still? She falls asleep, of course!! Worked like a charm. Still does, haha! <br />
I introduced this to Aubree today. She was so excited she didn't have to go to sleep! As I am typing this, she is sound asleep, haha! So if you are experiencing this with your child, try this!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-83046794995645987792012-04-20T11:34:00.003-04:002012-04-20T12:01:40.374-04:00Life With Kids<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4SLHXgRNeYGJCZ9tU8Q0EqYhMvHh2tpV-JkZQDNtkK1dQGiXw5GTpz1N3ERwvniHDyuRE0snSy8b0_HiUbY8TB290iSiDQ8gQ8G12HLGSR0wLbPWZRTfeAOA-rV30O9KCgPkGZfiaOt8/s1600/100_3562.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 237px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5733513715433377346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4SLHXgRNeYGJCZ9tU8Q0EqYhMvHh2tpV-JkZQDNtkK1dQGiXw5GTpz1N3ERwvniHDyuRE0snSy8b0_HiUbY8TB290iSiDQ8gQ8G12HLGSR0wLbPWZRTfeAOA-rV30O9KCgPkGZfiaOt8/s320/100_3562.JPG" /></a><br /><div>Life with kids is definetly an adventure. And with three of them, there is never a dull moment. These girls of ours bring so much joy into Chris and my life, sometimes I just sit back in awe and think to myself "Thank you God!" They are truly a blessing. Of course there are times when I just have to go outside for a minute to get a break from the whining and tattling (something we are working on but to no avail, it seems!), but everybody has those. For the most part, we have very happy, loving, silly girls whom we adore. And they are definetly crazy! If you have been to my house, then you know what I am talking about. And if they are in a mood - your sides will definetly be hurting! They feed off each other and I love the way they make each other laugh. Helen makes Aubree laugh SO hard, like nobody else can. Last night, we had to run to the grocery store for some milk after girl scouts and they all three squeezed into one of those buggies that has the steering wheels on it - do you know what I'm talking about? It's big enough for two, but they manage to make it big enough for three. It had already been a rough night, the girls didn't get supper before scouts, then I had to search for the keys for 30 minutes so we were late, as soon as we were getting ready to leave scouts, it started pouring down rain....you know, one of those nights. I was not looking forward to going into the grocery store hungry and with three hungry little girls, cold from the rain. But they never cease to amaze me. They did very well, a little loud, but at least it was from laughing and not crying! They really didn't ask for too much and they know if I say no, then that is the end of it. And Helen knows if it isn't on sale, we aren't getting it. Teaching her young, haha! Anyways, we got a few looks, but they were smiles instead of those why-can't-you-control-your-kids looks. (which thankfully, we haven't had too many of, but they are inevitable every now and then) We did end up wth a little more than milk though ;) We are very blessed in that they love each other so much and I love that. They squabble every now and then of course, but for the most part, they don't fight. Haha, they know better! They are so close now and I hope they grow up and are still very close. These girls never run out of energy and are always wanting to go somewhere! God has blessed us incredibly with these girls and I can't wait for August to add one more. Aubree always wants to see the baby and when I lift my shirt up, she says "Wow! She's getting big!" Umm...thanks Aubree, haha. And then Allisyn will run up and kiss my belly. I love it! When Aubree prays, she always remembers to thank God for our baby and that our baby is a girl! I love these little girls so much and can't imagine my life without them and I pray I never have to!</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-77852082891733023652012-04-14T21:39:00.005-04:002012-04-14T22:12:25.268-04:00Helen's First Ball Game!!Today is the day Chris has been waiting for since we first found out I was pregnant with Helen - her first ball game. He always played sports growing up and of course, he wants our kids to do the same. We tried to get Helen to play last year but she really didn't want to, so of course we didn't make her. This year, she was very excited to play. Chris's aunt and uncle are the coaches and Chris is helping so he can take over next year.

You can only score 5 runs in an inning and the fifth run counts as the final out. We scored 5 runs every inning and eight the last! One little boy hit a grand slam to end it!! All the kids did great - they all played great and more importantly, they all had good attitudes and good sportsmanship!<br /><br /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-43078509985521521112012-04-14T21:02:00.003-04:002012-04-14T21:38:45.902-04:0021 WeeksHere is the blog I promised for yesterday, only a day late :) As of yesterday (Friday), I am 21 weeks pregnant. I am finally feeling much better. It was a rough start to my pregnancy. I had pretty bad nausea - never actually threw up, but there were plenty of times I wanted to! Also had extreme exhaustion - could that be because I was chasing around 3 kids all day? Haha! And I had some pretty bad headaches. This pregnancy has been the worst by far of the four. I think this one has been worse than all the other three together! There were some days I went to bed as soon as Chris got home from work. But I have a super awesome husband and he would handle supper, 3 girls, and kept up the house! God has definetly blessed me with an amazing man for a husband for me and daddy for my kids!!<br />The nausea finally lingered off around 16 weeks, but the headaches kept up until about 19 weeks. Finally felt good enough to do some walking and the eleptical. For about a week. Then my mouth started hurting. Ugghhh!!! I had a wisdom tooth coming in causing LOTS of pain! So I got that taken out this past Monday and my mouth is still a little tender. But hopefully it will be back to normal in the next few days and the rest of this pregnancy will be uneventful!<br />Weight gain is a weird thing in pregnancy. For women to know they have to gain weight is a pretty tough thing. We know we have to for the health of our baby, but we still don't like that. With Helen I gained right at 20 lbs I think, Aubree was 14, and Allisyn was 33 (!). So we shall see with this one. So far, I haven't gotten back to my starting weight yet. I made my midwife feel better at my last appointment by gaining 3 lbs in 4 weeks, but I'm still half a pound under. I'm sure I will make up for it though! I'm still not sure how this is possible - I know I'm not any smaller than I was before I got pregnant, but I know at least my belly is alot bigger! Like I said, weight gain in pregnancy is crazy!<br />I have to say that, so far, Allisyn has been my favorite pregnancy. Just because she moved all.the.time! I mean, she was constantly moving! I think if you ask any woman that has ever been pregnant, feeling your baby move inside you is the best part of it! This one moves around a little, not as much as Allie yet, though. I feel her most at night when I lay down. Maybe I move so much during the day? Chris felt her moving around for the first time the other night. There's nothing like it!<br />No picture this week, I will try and have one for next week!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-43227752471683597122012-04-12T20:02:00.004-04:002012-04-12T20:43:42.768-04:00EasterI am putting everything Easter into this one post so I will be caught up and maybe tomorrow I can do an update on my pregnancy.

I woke up Saturday (before Easter) with a headache. We were having a yard sale that morning with Chris's parents and one of his sisters. Also, we had our egg hunt with the church that morning, which Chris and I were in charge of. Then, after that, we were going to color eggs at Chris's parents house with the family. AND I still had to make the girls' Easter dresses. Helen was insistent. Besides, as a little girl, you've gotta have a new dress for Easter morning, right? So startng the day off with a headache was NOT on the list of things to do that day! Well, I just went downhill from there. The egg hunt was at 11 and I wasn't feeling too badly at this point. We were doing lunch first. I started feeling worse and worse. I'm told I was kinda short with some people and I am very sorry, I didn't mean to be. I tried to sit down most of the time, but it didn't really help. At the end, my wonderful husband and some of the other great people there cleaned everything up. By now, I was feeling pretty nauseated, had a horrible headache, rough cough, my back and mouth and throat were hurting - I was in bad shape. I was on the way to the bathroom and walked past the room where the communion is prepared and I noticed the trays were still empty. I was thinking "somebody hasn't done it yet." Then I realized that someone was me. Helen and I were supposed to do it. I went and grabbed her and we got busy. Thankfully, and I don't know who it was but I was so very thankful, someone had already done half of the juice and had all the cups in the trays. HUGE time saver. Helen started the doilies for the bread and I started filling cups. When she finished, she took over the juice and I put my head down. We finished in record time! I tried to sleep when we got home, but it was just too noisy. I felt so bad, I thought I was coming down with the flu. I felt even worse now. I decided I was going to skip the egg coloring and rest in quiet. I finally got enough tylenol in me I felt a tiny bit better and decided I better get started on their dresses.

But this is what happened a couple days later. I was waiting outside with Helen for the school bus and Allisyn went inside and it was a while before I realized she never came back out. I started the search, getting no response when I called her name. I walked into the kitchen and found this! She pulled the whole thing off of the counter, somehow got the top off and helped herself!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaxTUZYU39P4KuL-JZ0ayMYmQSHWFjMY-nd2TEFjCA8J9R-Kbj8hFeGjL5101_VuNOWHyKyyL5ye8Go7h7xyo40Wdvc314zA_OPYY0zYML3obi1TLd5cc8P5gXLSUjX1Y7aplPoxyma0/s1600/100_3878.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730667657454646818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaxTUZYU39P4KuL-JZ0ayMYmQSHWFjMY-nd2TEFjCA8J9R-Kbj8hFeGjL5101_VuNOWHyKyyL5ye8Go7h7xyo40Wdvc314zA_OPYY0zYML3obi1TLd5cc8P5gXLSUjX1Y7aplPoxyma0/s320/100_3878.JPG" /></a><br /><br /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-52652453430458300552012-04-09T20:13:00.003-04:002012-04-09T20:54:28.703-04:00It's a Girl!So we have girl number four on the way! I'm not going to lie - up until the car ride on the way to the ultrasound I thought this was a boy. I told Chris on the way there I was pretty sure it was a boy until now. I don't know if it was because we were about to find out or what, but the doubt crept in. I guess maybe because this pregnancy has been so much rougher than all the other 3 combined I thought it was a boy. My mom and my sister were convinced it was a boy too. And who knows, on our next ultrasound, they may say it's a boy. But for right now, we are trying to think of girl names we like.<br />We asked the tech not to announce the sex out loud, just to write it on the screen so Helen could read it. Now Helen has been wanting a baby brother <em>forever. </em>So she was a tad disappointed when she read "girl". I was kinda in shock, I think because I was sure it was going to say boy. Chris has been saying the whole time it was a girl (I think he is trying reverse psychology, haha!) and Aubree was happy as can be because she "wants a bunch of sisters!" Alliysn just wants a baby, haha!<br />The shock has worn off and I can't wait to get out all my little girl clothes out!! Helen is excited and every time Aubree prays, she says"Thank you for our baby and thank you for the baby being a girl"! I love it!<br />We want a little boy, but we are perfectly happy with another little girl at the same time! We know we are incredibly blessed with the three healthy, sweet, loving beautiful girls we already have and who <em>wouldn't</em> want to add another one to that list?Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-51697003869391052972012-04-06T10:56:00.010-04:002012-04-06T12:02:23.964-04:00Girl's First Disney Trip!!!Monday was Disney day. And since we took such a long and late nap Sunday, it was late to bed and early to rise again as you will see in the first few pictures haha! Since we wanted the trip to be a surprise, we didn't build Disney up very much. We threw bits and pieces out there every now and then, but not too much. Helen is very observant and hangs onto every word and the meaning so we didn't want to give too much away. A couple nights before we left, she, out of the blue, started talking about how she wanted to go back to Orlando and by the time we were done talking about it, she was pretty much convinced that was where we were going. So we had to throw some distractions out there - could be the beach, Atlanta, Gramma's.....then she wasn't so sure. Anyway, so when it was actually time to go to Disney, of course Helen and Aubree were excited, but Allisyn had no idea what was going on. I wish we had prepared her more for it.<br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2XB8MR40m5GaTHLACu0khErggNreqsK9EH3AU7kddfn51OICzUGHWB27IQAtiroPeY4-mXh3Ad6LzIm__ap-shKh1llcqHoVxev0nlfG5hhC66YIQHpT0uWBTJvFVXoTLYNrMDTWvxU/s1600/100_3675.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728310606790371890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2XB8MR40m5GaTHLACu0khErggNreqsK9EH3AU7kddfn51OICzUGHWB27IQAtiroPeY4-mXh3Ad6LzIm__ap-shKh1llcqHoVxev0nlfG5hhC66YIQHpT0uWBTJvFVXoTLYNrMDTWvxU/s320/100_3675.JPG" /></a>Aubree's excited face!

Notice only 2 sets of ears. At this point we discovered we had ALREADY lost a set of ears, a hairbow(we found that later in the van, though), and a shoe. Yes, a SHOE!!!

Both said Sea World. I think it's because we mostly waited in line at Disney and at Sea World, they got to watch the shows and stuff. Plus, they are very into the sea creatures right now. Dolphin Tale and Free Willy are in constant demand at our house!<br /><br /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-45729156092014189732012-03-30T10:30:00.003-04:002012-03-30T11:18:35.410-04:00When I was pregnant with Helen, I worked at a daycare and I was the teacher for 11 2 and 3 year olds. I was very anti-disney princess for Helen when we found out she was a girl. The girls at the daycare had and wore EVERYTHING princess and I was sick of it. So I told everyone to get nothing princess. Well, one girl turned into two and turned into 3 girls. So we have a houseful of girls and of course, they love the princesses! And I'm okay with it now, it's not so sickening anymore, haha! So when we went to Disney, of course we had to see the princesses. And that is about all we did!<br /><div align="center">First up was Rapunzel, we waited about an hour to see her. They let groups go in this little area and each group took about 30 minutes. So when you got in there, they had a coloring station, which I thought was a great idea! The kids got to color while the parents stood in line and could keep an eye on them!

Her and Rapunzel. Tink was definetly the most animated and she got down on the floor with them and everything. I think she was my favorite too, as far as interaction goes. And Rapunzel, of course because they are best friends!!</div><div align="center">The next post will be the non-princess parts of Disney.

And we would only have half a day by the time we got done with church, lunch and nap. So we decided that would be our "off" day. We got up, went to church and were very surprised to see some friends from home there! Whenever you visit a church, you never expect to see someone you know! It was fun to see friendly faces. T.G.I.Friday's was for lunch. YUM!! We love it, wish we had one in Valdosta. We just got Olive Garden, maybe Friday's is next on the list? As we headed into the restaurant, it started to thunder and when we left, it was sprinkling. We weren't far from the hotel, so we hurried back to get naps, glad that is was going to rain like we had planned. I think we all took about a 3 hour nap! We had been up so late the 2 nights before and then up early both mornings also. We got up in search of Wal-Mart ( I needed new shoes, the ones I wore to Sea World killed my back!) and supper. We found Wal-Mart pretty easily, then Chris decided he wanted to get the girls ice cream. We searched everywhere for somewhere different. We like to go places we don't have at home. We FINALLY found a Ben & Jerry's (who knew they had an ice cream shop? Not me!). Not as good as Marble Slab, but just as expensive! We picked up a pizza and headed back to the hotel room. Besides the sprinkle after lunch, not a drop of rain! Oh well, it gave us a nice break and a chance to rest up. Had it not been supposed to rain, we would have tried to cram one more thing in there!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-35973520762732185842012-03-29T11:09:00.004-04:002012-03-29T12:19:00.731-04:00Sea World!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2KBsjNnAqwpftilUIMcM6tbqiqqmSGO6ktgX6XLJO8PemTLkLwOZ5Adz8GSH44M590igoR6N4pPBcT0PsVvFVdCZEZ2fy7QpNAGmBfUKVnebldcNWdp8NPwq9eEGxEjcH1FKW0BrNOYw/s1600/100_3604.JPG"><span style="color:#000000;"></span><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 239px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725341795854537378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2KBsjNnAqwpftilUIMcM6tbqiqqmSGO6ktgX6XLJO8PemTLkLwOZ5Adz8GSH44M590igoR6N4pPBcT0PsVvFVdCZEZ2fy7QpNAGmBfUKVnebldcNWdp8NPwq9eEGxEjcH1FKW0BrNOYw/s320/100_3604.JPG" /></a>We had been telling the girls for awhile that we were going on a trip but we wouldn't tell them where. Finally we told them we were going to a hotel. That was good enough for them - they were excited!! We went President's Day weekend, left Friday after Chris got off work. We got to our hotel pretty late. We tried to get them in without waking them up but it didn't work! They were wide awake so we went ahead and told them we were in Orlando. Helen and Aubree started screaming they were so excited and of course Allisyn didn't have a clue!<div>Since Saturday was supposed to be the warmest and had the least chance of rain of the days we were going to be there, we decided to go to Sea World first. </div><div align="center">Arriving at Sea World</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaisgSqNnNx4owEC-onP45YR_iq5O8hScpD-AGmhFbK9j5Eo4I03zFe_-KkH4Bt4LKctA-yZIbntmEgPJ2tjl8hyxg1aK551z9zW1Bd3BAgiP8ew70b_gfokane7rs_p794pHTbYNhDLo/s1600/100_3610.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 233px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725339220414133426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaisgSqNnNx4owEC-onP45YR_iq5O8hScpD-AGmhFbK9j5Eo4I03zFe_-KkH4Bt4LKctA-yZIbntmEgPJ2tjl8hyxg1aK551z9zW1Bd3BAgiP8ew70b_gfokane7rs_p794pHTbYNhDLo/s320/100_3610.JPG" /></a></div><div align="center">This is where they got to pet the sting rays. I totally thought I got more pictures of this, but apparently I didn't :( Anyways, this was Helen's absolute favorite thing to do! We stayed there awhile. By the time we were done, they were soaking wet! We came back later and she was still not happy when we left. Needless to say, her souvinier from the whole trip was a stuffed stingray!

We sat in the splash zone at every show because Helen wanted to get wet. We didn't get wet at this one. We brought our food in so we wouldn't have to spend a fortune on food. It worked out really good.

They were ready to go.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIGu-x39ozezqX_z7FmHhvTDsfugM7w5zQl5l0tDukfiX62v_VLBCU0c82ZeKTKe4h7VkVXGLfXC7uP33fzVxd6OWxUjw_e77ofx8axkJYa0iYNFKuVg6Y_U8_dhmfqFn_xeq2AoQWDrA/s1600/100_3670.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725337913067833602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIGu-x39ozezqX_z7FmHhvTDsfugM7w5zQl5l0tDukfiX62v_VLBCU0c82ZeKTKe4h7VkVXGLfXC7uP33fzVxd6OWxUjw_e77ofx8axkJYa0iYNFKuVg6Y_U8_dhmfqFn_xeq2AoQWDrA/s320/100_3670.JPG" /></a>Now, remember I told you Helen wanted to get wet at a show all day? We sat in the splash zone at every show (we went to 4 or 5) except for one and we never got wet. Well, it was getting late and there would be no sun to help them dry off and they were already getting cranky so Chris decided to sit at the top. Helen wasn't hearing it. She still wanted to get wet! So we went down front and center, 4th row. Then she got scared. Someone told her she would definetly get soaking wet and it would be cold. The more she thought about it, the more she changed her mind. But, the place was already filling up and, being the evil parents we are, we decided to stay where we were. The show went on and they kind of enjoyed it - Helen and Aubree were still not wanting to get wet so they were anticipating it. We thought had escaped it - the 2 shamus were showing off on the raised part of the pool for the end and I heard Chris say "Watch out!!" I turned my head to the right and saw two tails stickig out of the water and then we all felt ice cold HARD pelts of water. Of course, immediately all three girls started screaming just in time to get a mouthful of water . They got us again!! As mean as we are, Chris and I were laughing, the girls were screaming and we wanted a picture :) I know, we're mean, right? Haha! Here you go!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW3aNiIj_JAkofUlvRFfIgmt4cX6Ec7PBWa6ay7YKYTPZ6yQ4AFi1moMBBeBxeLfRK6mV577aoxfcLJMK4p0kjAeoZ-fRv2kSqpkTovfd90gAjT8Lz-Sp3w80DhHDr1Nk-_-T964ZIbXs/s1600/100_3674.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725337907315210770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW3aNiIj_JAkofUlvRFfIgmt4cX6Ec7PBWa6ay7YKYTPZ6yQ4AFi1moMBBeBxeLfRK6mV577aoxfcLJMK4p0kjAeoZ-fRv2kSqpkTovfd90gAjT8Lz-Sp3w80DhHDr1Nk-_-T964ZIbXs/s320/100_3674.JPG" /></a>I had thought ahead while we were waiting for the show to start and took the towel we bought and all their sweaters (except for Helen's, she insisted on wearing hers) and hid them to keep them as dry as possible. Aubree stayed the driest because she was sitting on the bench between Chris and I. Helen was on my lap, Allisyn was on Chris's. After the show (and after the picture), we stripped Helen and Allisyn down to their skimpies. Helen wore my sweater and got in the stroller, Alllisyn wore Aubree's sweater and we wrapped the towel around Aubree and that is how we got to the car. They were not happy campers!</div><div>I know, this sounds mean, but we did it for the memories. ALL. DAY. Helen had wanted to get wet and each time we didn't she was disappointed. Besides, how can you go to Sea World and not get splashed by a whale?!!?</div><div>And, for the record, when we talk about Sea World now, that is the first thing Aubree mentions. And they love it! It was a fun night for Chris and I - not so much for them, but they like it now. It's a story to tell!</div><div><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-47636011819742330632012-03-29T08:27:00.003-04:002012-03-29T08:53:52.818-04:00Father/Daughter BanquetI know I have kinda negelected the blog and now I have alot of catching up to do! Back in Febraury, our church hosted a father/daughter banquet. And since Chris is such a great (and brave!) daddy, he took all three girls!<br />One of the couples from our church offered to buy the girls new dresses for the banquet, so dress shopping we went. They had an absolute blast! Within a few minutes of being in the store, our hands were FULL of dresses for them to try on! They each got to pick out their own and they finally decided on one. Aubree, believe it or not, took the longest to decide. Helen didn't like any of the dresses until the very last one and that is the one she fell in love with.<br />I went with them to get a few pictures before it started then I went to dinner with a friend. Chris said they all had fun, but it was a little hard for Allisyn to sit quiet through all the door prizes. But they were all 3 excited to show off what they won!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaUMTrieybWEVPTTMLiSnZ7h0W9UPxREufUV9MXVYgFfjIa3vWahvHfR3A7kh_EKNvCu06EPHTUBQaSjoHwKTigH8hkEyMEZTiPztubdu7o-0fItHAEhzxWILGkLS6Un0EeyxacPT-VZo/s1600/100_3573.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725298521864828178" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaUMTrieybWEVPTTMLiSnZ7h0W9UPxREufUV9MXVYgFfjIa3vWahvHfR3A7kh_EKNvCu06EPHTUBQaSjoHwKTigH8hkEyMEZTiPztubdu7o-0fItHAEhzxWILGkLS6Un0EeyxacPT-VZo/s320/100_3573.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6MvDTX1Rx-Y2PblJ3hS5TAPHGHD7JDg4IP__Vh3PxpzRBy9XgBqSWg58cwIJ6SLh4sCjCRNkVpovRdVfR1z76ed-WFJzFgsROrX3ZSYvxrwTV53ABCzPd1-Iihqoo8QWrCBV2IV14LJ8/s1600/100_3576.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725296793269257298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6MvDTX1Rx-Y2PblJ3hS5TAPHGHD7JDg4IP__Vh3PxpzRBy9XgBqSWg58cwIJ6SLh4sCjCRNkVpovRdVfR1z76ed-WFJzFgsROrX3ZSYvxrwTV53ABCzPd1-Iihqoo8QWrCBV2IV14LJ8/s320/100_3576.JPG" /></a>This is her excited face :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW9fjGwaz3fgmmAb7H_OsTQ86roC0KFML5Mnj555S7b0rEOMVIeh1QTWSjYiswMqfKPVtYuYsqgUiyWIyO_dRltcAZVmSHBLJbXS_-ll2psWp_Bwi_D9taVsPuYOWE_XA7KDO4lYRPrgs/s1600/100_3579.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725296784746503938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW9fjGwaz3fgmmAb7H_OsTQ86roC0KFML5Mnj555S7b0rEOMVIeh1QTWSjYiswMqfKPVtYuYsqgUiyWIyO_dRltcAZVmSHBLJbXS_-ll2psWp_Bwi_D9taVsPuYOWE_XA7KDO4lYRPrgs/s320/100_3579.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRwkksBgO3NyiavJ38zTVeYG572k5C2wyizVuT18wJNgVIvbqtdbxLfQqqmEutAqY_28dX-cFzmgThMUk4qVgp_8nzh2ypVPfwYOORHbkk1e9tF2eljCYsNwuA9sF2A-4mksjkyQ-I5o/s1600/100_3581.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5725296777996086562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRwkksBgO3NyiavJ38zTVeYG572k5C2wyizVuT18wJNgVIvbqtdbxLfQqqmEutAqY_28dX-cFzmgThMUk4qVgp_8nzh2ypVPfwYOORHbkk1e9tF2eljCYsNwuA9sF2A-4mksjkyQ-I5o/s320/100_3581.JPG" /></a>Love this pic!

The nurse said she didn't know what was wrong but if it was still hurting Tuesday, to take her in. Helen woke up Tuesday morning and said it was still hurting so I went ahead and made an appointment with her doctor for 9:30. She had to go to the bathroom as soon as we got there. The dr checked everything and said she thinks it might be a urinary tract infection and she needed a urine sample. Of course. So we waited and waited. Helen drank and drank. And we waited and waited. Finally, Helen made a mad dash to the bathroom. Dr. tested it and said she has the VERY beginning of a UTI and sent a perscription to the pahrmacy. By now it was after 11. Her class goes to lunch at 10:45. Chris's sister April works at Pizza Hut right across the street from the dr office so we went there for lunch. We finished up there and went to pick up her medicine. The woman took forever then said they just got it and it would be 35 minutes. So now it is 12:15 and I decided Helen wasn't going to make it to school. By the time she would have gotten there, there would only be an hour or two left anyway so we went to Wal-Mart to get some stuff we needed. We stalled there for awhile, we were meeting someone at the mall at 3:30 and I didn't want to go all the way home to go all the way back so we headed to the mall and sat there for about an hour and a half so the girls could get a nap in.<br />We are having a Father/Daughter Banquet at the church this Saturday and one of the ladies graciously offered to buy the girls new dresses for it. So we met her at 3:30 at the mall and the girls were SO excited!!Helen espically. When we got in there, she went crazy! Within 5 minutes I think, my hands were full of dresses for them to try on! Aubree and Allisyn loved the first one they tried on and Helen like the very last one she tried on. They are all three beautiful dresses! When Helen was trying on dresses, she said "This is the most fun I have ever had!" They were having a ball!<br />After the mall, we met up with Chris for supper then headed home. I had no intention of staying out all day, by myself with all three girls, but that is how it happened and I had so much fun! They were so good and it was actually easy! We were gone from 9:15 that morning until 6:30 that night. needless to say I was completely exhausted!!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-51679795660314854592012-02-09T08:16:00.006-05:002012-02-09T09:47:30.568-05:00Number 4!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgicFcngzupcghGzPPMDE94W3msq0ta5RzJFSSxrNzWcBnQgYA7FsqKRTY5FHsVMpMMAU1ucqJAcCq1p7aSg1z3uw9ySQmrHcRee1VuX0V-GZF-nOmfqNlyD36cC1d-XVQ-3rV2ZDbWI/s1600/100_3565.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707136114050880082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAgicFcngzupcghGzPPMDE94W3msq0ta5RzJFSSxrNzWcBnQgYA7FsqKRTY5FHsVMpMMAU1ucqJAcCq1p7aSg1z3uw9ySQmrHcRee1VuX0V-GZF-nOmfqNlyD36cC1d-XVQ-3rV2ZDbWI/s320/100_3565.JPG" /></a>Back in at the beginning of December I had some suspicions. Every now and then I would have a flash of nasuea, I was very exhausted all the time and I was extremely stressed out about EVERYTHING - even tiny things I had no control over. (And I don't usually get stressed too easily). I took a test and it was negative. About a week before Christmas, I was very upset about everything. I was having a melt down and Chris was patiently hearing me out. Then he asked me if I was finished and I told him yes. He said "I want you to take a pregnancy test." Haha. Told you - I'm not usually highstrung. So I took another test and it came out negative again. Still too early.But by the fourth pregnancy, you just kinda know.<br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div>The day after Christmas, Chris told me to go ahead and take another test. Well, finally, it came out positive!! We decided we weren't going to tell anybody until I had been to the dr. It was pretty hard keeping the secret though, espically around the holidays. When we got back from our New Year's trip to my parents and Chris's family in Andalusia, I set up an appointment. By the time I had my appointment, I was 9 weeks.</div><br /><div>I had found some cute ideas for announcing pregnancy on pintrest and I thought it would be fun to make the girls shirts and send pictures to all the family. I thought it would be a fun, different way to break the news, I was wrong. It didn't get the reaction I expected from the family. They didn't like it. Oh well, I had fun with it.Originally, I wanted to have the shirts and pictures ready to send as soon as I had my appointment,but I had been feeling SO bad, I didn't have the energy or will to get them done ahead of time. Eventually I finally got them done and got some cute pictures!</div><br /><div>This is the worst I have felt with all of my pregnancies - the exhaustion, the nausea, I just feel awful most of the time. I have found that if I go to bed around 8 or 9, the next day isn't as bad as when I go to bed later. So I try to get to bed on time, lol. Chris has been absolutely amazing (but there is no surprise there!) He has been very understanding and patient. There have been some days when he gets home from work, I go to bed and he handles supper, girls, baths, pajamas and bed time like a pro. I'm 12 weeks tomorrow so maybe this yuckiness will go away soon!!</div><br /><div>We are very excited and yes, it was planned. That is most people's first question. The next is "Are you wanting a boy?" Yes, we would like a boy, but would be just as happy with another girl! At least we know what to do with girls, haha!! The girls are SO excited, Helen asks me all the time how the baby is. Aubree says she wants every baby she sees. Still trying to get her to understand we are having our own baby! :) Allisyn pats by belly and says "baby!"</div><br /><div>Here are some pictures from the photo shoot!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 237px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707136081429141346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTOW0undLeXcFz06n3IFvvN9UAZ6RdceB0-PHL_5vKqMThvdBL6GuYbzpMEQZF8p45zuLp44VgoXt5sS0bLeAwjDxgCzMT5U1-XYuzPebYSMKIvMNH5SwlQvVAp6_8_9mg4LnHdNhtNCo/s320/100_3562.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 226px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707136069571043506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEk0ePtj7D5K-Eyzc8BG_47epbPuLZbbleIwrWZTakN7I2Ny4BH6_axlKSM1peu9bcOaZzO6JckCTY-RzrvIbWb7FU9AUTTo0lI4HAbZvFzlR9eR8oHldblBwGYaKSP1WDKDcf_KLHziI/s320/100_3561.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707136032749604498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3O4_OJnTdzeV4aEJeKwMGXQpOLiu35vfG9_Uk5qO4YbdoOBtxkqFb967KXebPO6P5Bd2oKcNhQ0KpsVqoMRJg6kXXWEwTHxNR4QkPfHm3_uWWVWgZ6GNAHiJJaHucfGOXm3KhhATuZpY/s320/100_3539.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707136020358138210" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbTIl1ZFconY7GumeXBljmAEeG3MkKKY6_4IUlnOI9cPy4JHZLJsu94G1PTV8ARWQDyh72Ywpi28MFfUUYq3dBHKVtsFJnPEEi_rta8C_p3eZYbwtvULX3LyeSPEB964Zl3NUm0OFTRdI/s320/100_3515.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707133922483527122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ_76WHOg8tTBzW-KFXpuaf41epOXBQFMsw17rzMCkkDtWz75XiODZJioIdfOra4wHRaawbIR9sD1_rIahTiX1hC7Ljf04poXT3eqIz56vAJG9-nx44OdkeQ0Vc5_ayb01PMDTKXK3s7A/s320/100_3532.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707133907763167154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMXoGkbmOCeOpRzzdbG7dl8J7scL12X46KQG0xFeUTjga7LvbUaU-nXQY2-uOw9mrFSDXyhc-8_bMoDL8ZCbla_PBIBTZcW_MPsYVtYdA3Zx9XbijCnKL2rLrxzdlz9qCzmtKqT5x-VtU/s320/100_3523.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707133901692815410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqCbDMk-lPyFsfOSP1GJhqPfZysjyv7CSkNmtqjzEeBCmE78YL6gWJP2i61I5OBpOcxipxTsm48Ex99H7AvoCAH2AvsjXLcyD5M4kdjxGuo-Uqh4r4RHwe2f6THl420tRu-_pUzHP3Db0/s320/100_3506.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707133858986770290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCrMBigUNqHxOWlEB003oJvmpWkkg56111NWYAZYDOM4fVJTUu2iFf5NnntMUa193NW_HHdduXVo0RXh_9UWpVUAxTSWdUMRmZXjbZBrYp-lhlSXmcR687EODGJkWU0SCMNkgLd39G-SI/s320/100_3504.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707133851451387202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_-i0apoFgLtUkrPH6yg2A_4JLVzdRyD0955uzQPfK28oDfpAKFVfyo0Yevku0tIutN2X0dku4fTf1TAj6_UGMFiWRy09hBDMDKwpIyVcoqQ0lRjY5JUymhWhWpdmD-e2r0TwZf0lHwU0/s320/100_3482.JPG" /></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5707132147137444306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8YHAZxl6lkvnxvO11fzdgeumn59k-m8STjgOWskB-lNjvkCe58qkp0KHOxeNep87LnE4ENtkyU17Bdqmt6vm4jFMV2lUbdwD_yU2pk1oJljPZroNwfX-TTaKqbPFYOAHsTMSVYlutcW8/s320/100_3481.JPG" /></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-10476112976132049692012-01-25T08:15:00.002-05:002012-01-25T08:20:03.396-05:00603 Boxes!!Helen is in Girl Scouts this year as a Daisy - her first year. She is loving it and having a blast!! She was espically excited about selling the cookies. I think she asked every single person at church! She did so good selling them and Chris and I are so proud of her! Her goal is 800 boxes so she could get the prize of a Nintendo DSi. Right now she is at 603 boxes and when the cookies come in and we do some booths (you know the ones outside of Wal-Mart and other places you see them selling them), she should meet her goal!! Thank you to all of you who bought cookies from her and helped her get so far!!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817533997675881835.post-69727149540912214072012-01-20T11:31:00.004-05:002012-01-20T11:55:24.629-05:00Sweet MomentsWe never had the girls sleep in our bed when they were babies. We didn't want them to get in that habit. We thought we had done good and didn't have anything to worry about. Little did we know, that is a habit that can be picked up. When Helen was about 3, she would wake up in the night and come crawl in our bed. Half the time, I didn't even know she was there! Eventually, Chris would bring her back to her bed. She would come back, and so on. The other two caught on. Now we have a queen size bed and there is just not room for 5 people in it! So when we put them to bed, we would tell them to stay in their bed and not come to ours. And they would listen. Sometimes we would forget to tell them and they would come, haha.<br /><br /><div>But sometimes, it is a treat. Not just for them, but for me as well. Sometimes when only one of them is awake, we will let them go to bed with us. Last night it was Allisyn. They go to bed at 7:00. They share a room and a bed so it is usually around 7:30-8:00 before they get to sleep. I got out of the tub at about 9:15 last night and Allisyn is sitting on the couch, wide awake and in the best mood! So we played with her and read with her and watched Shrek 3 (her FAVORITE thing to watch!). It was fun for Chris and I <em>both</em> to have that one on one time with her at the same time. About 10:30, she was still going strong but we were tired so she came to the bed with us. Now when Chris's head hits the pillow, heis ready to go to sleep. So that makes it extra fun for me and whomever is in the bed with us. We laugh and play and giggle and I love it! It's a sweet time I rarely get with my girls where it is just her and I. No distractions - sisters, TV, books, toys - just the two of us.</div><br /><div>Anyhow, do you want to hear how the night went? I woke up at some point and got up to bring Allisyn to her bed and Helen was asleep on the floor at my feet. Left her there and put Allie in her bed. She came back at some point but I didn't realize it until Aubree woke up crying - she was scared in her room by herself. I told Aubree to come lay on the floor and I put Allie on the floor too. Guess we forgot to tell them to stay in their bed last night. But that's okay, sometimes exceptions to the rules make good memories - the very first thing I saw when I got out of bed was all three of my girls sleeping like angels!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699756040674760530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijy5NKv56aFeduYMXVloOEeOiR1vh4efLgfxdfaIKWHVDgXJgSF6anWRAbJWJrCJe3Y1AhJEXpfx-w5aGVRsjx3l5X2g2g_5CcHyUsWpRisRQN3MrRcs56FfW0DiqQPJdH3POa8rt1qRA/s320/100_3286.JPG" /></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03708916229230008018noreply@blogger.com0
