WE'RE BACK!!

Has it REALLY been a month since I have blogged?  I am not sure if we even still have any blog followers out there but I thought I better get back to blogging just in case!  What can I say, life has been busy for The Newsom Girls (and, one of us has had her head buried in her Kindle)!  I love how some of you have emailed, text and even called to see what is going on!!!  We didn't know we had such a following or led such exciting lives!! I updated the blog for Halloween and Thanksgiving so you'll have to scroll back to those dates for those posts.

Not long after Delaney and I got home from Florida (which she is STILL talking about--she came out of her room the other day wearing her Santa hat and told me she wanted to go to the beach. Some of you will soon see why she associates the hat with the beach :-) we packed up and went to visit Delaney's cousin, Logan, in Bowling Green, KY.  I wasn't sure how she was going to do but she did great.  After a quick purchase of a portable DVD player, we were off!

Delaney is 13 months older than Logan but size wise they look about 13 seconds apart!  She is obsessed with him.  I"m pretty sure someday these two will NOT appreciate their moms letting them wrestle around in their diapers (and as if that wasn't enough, we also made them take a bath together)!!!  We had a great visit with family.....

 We went to a bounce house so they could burn off some energy.....

We left on Halloween and here we are making our stop to eat in the car (which Delaney is NOT allowed to normally do) at McDonald's.  I have no clue why her french fry looks like a cigarette!

Thanksgiving 2012

I didn't get a lot of pictures of Delaney (not for a lack of trying, she's 2, she doesn't WANT her picture taken!!)

 I know what you're thinking, this doesn't belong in this post but YES IT DOES!  Delaney was home bound for a few days because she refused to wear anything but her nightgowns.  Thank goodness she's now able to leave the house.  She wanted to wear her nightgown to our Thanksgiving dinner---so she did PICK YOUR BATTLES PEOPLE!!!

"I need that mommy, mommy buy that for me"

I hear this 100 times a day (thanks to all of the toy manufacturer commercials).....Delaney wants every single toy she sees on tv.  But the other day, she pointed to the tv and told me she needed that and it was a Tempur Pedic mattress!  If Santa brings anyone a new mattress it is NOT going to be the 2 year old in the house, it will be for the thirty-something year old!

"Potty Dance"

Guess who went potty on the toilet?????  Delaney walked up to me and said "mommy, I need to go to the bathroom".  Now, I've been told this before and as soon as I sit her on the toilet, nothing happens!! But not this time!  I heard a certain "noise" and ran into the bathroom and she was right! She did have to go to the bathroom.  So, a certain crazy very excited mommy did a "potty dance" right there in the hallway!!!  And then about 10 minutes later she went again IN HER DIAPER!!

I was so bummed, I thought this kid was potty trained.....................

So now when I have her tell people what she did in the potty she says "potty dance"...........
(Don't pay attention to the fact Delaney isn't wearing any socks--we just aren't ready---despite the fact we had snow today).  One of us still has an intact perfectly good "Florida pedicure" so we decided we are going back!!!  Why waste a good pedicure???????

Sit Tight..............

Sorry we've been absent from the blog. We have been so busy (we went out of town AGAIN) and there's so much to blog about, but for now, you'll have to just enjoy these pictures.....I cannot tell you how much I enjoy being this girl's mom!

You can surely see why, right??

Halloween 2012 (or not)

Our October brought a lot of mild weather so we took advantage one day and went to AppleWorks.    That day reminded me why Delaney's aunt JuJu always says Delaney is a "two man job" ENOUGH SAID!

 Here she is playing....I wasn't! Again, ENOUGH SAID!

Delaney got to wear Halloween costume #1 to dance class. 

Not long after we got back from Florida, we packed up and headed to visit Delaney's cousin, Logan, in Bowling Green KY.  I couldn't very well let her go to KY as an IU cheerleader so we decided Colts was a much safer costume!  We had a fun Halloween celebration at their local library.

 Delaney is obsessed with kissing her cousin--we hope someday this stops!

 Delaney was even less interested in carving her pumpkin than I was so this is what she got.  I call it the "single mom pumpkin" YOU GET WHAT YOU GET!!! And yes, she is in her pajamas looking like a hot little mess!

When we got home from KY, one of us was just way too tired to go trick or treating and it was FREEZING outside so we sort of "skipped" Halloween this year.  Don't worry, our next door neighbor had a bag full of candy for Delaney she brought over to her.  I made her promise never to tell Delaney we skipped Halloween!!
