iphone picture "dump"............

Drinking her bath water.......

Packed up and ready to go.............

Reading Dora while wearing her sunglasses.........

Delaney is going to be hanging out with her grandma tonight while mom gets to go to Oceanaire.  Speaking of, I just discovered this week Delaney likes shrimp!  So we have officially added a new food group to the standing "chicken fingers and french fries" food group.  

Valentine's Day or Christmas?

Delaney woke up to heart shaped (well, sort of) cinnamon rolls.  Thank you Pinterest! She had deliveries waiting for her on the front porch too!

 And then we were treated to lunch.....I've decided that Valentine's Day is the only day of the year where it is "fashionably" acceptable to wear pink and red!  Delaney is obsessed with backpacks and yes, she is wearing both of them....I won't even tell you how fun it is to make her take them off so she can sit in her car seat!  

 We also had dance.  I know it's probably not very nice to post a picture of a crying little girl but I couldn't resist.  She cried because I didn't know she wanted her baby in the picture.  The second picture is her trying to smile but still crying although I don't know why because you can clearly see she got her way!  And what she is wearing isn't even remotely close to what I sat out for her to wear. And yes, she wore her rain boots to dance!  I pick my battles people!!!!

 And while we were gone, more deliveries were left on the front porch...........

 I am convinced we go to dance for the suckers........

"I will give you my heart until the end of time.  You're all I need, my love, my Valentine......"

Happy Birthday/Happy Mother's Day

The other night Delaney gave me one of her famous bear hugs and said "Happy Birthday Mommy".  I quickly informed her that it was not my birthday yet and then she said "Happy Mother's Day Mommy" and well, who could correct that!!!

I asked Delaney what she wanted for her birthday and she said "a new bed".  Well Delaney, I"m way ahead of you, just as soon as PBK brings back the Fulton bed!! My daughter may be the only child who never comes out of her crib.......I am not sure why they insisted on discontinuing the one bed I like!!!  I have called them, I have begged them, perhaps even harassed them to bring back the Fulton!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of birthdays, Delaney's will be here before I know it.  I have been holding items in my cart for a few days just to make sure she wants the theme she keeps telling me and I'm afraid, I think she does..........I am NOT a "character" mom AT ALL but apparently, her 3rd birthday party isn't about me..................

Thank You!!!!

Someone once told me a true gift is an anonymous gift and until today....it was!

This Fire Department CONTINUES to amaze me!

THANK YOU IFD!!!!!!!!!!

Bacon

Not sure when my non meat eater started liking bacon...make that Bob Evans' bacon!!! After I ordered her meal, I looked at Delaney and said "I will give you $100 if you eat your bacon"!!! Her piggy bank is now the proud owner of an IOU!!!!

Preschool

Today I did what NO MOTHER SHOULD EVER HAVE TO DO...........

Delaney and I went to check out a preschool!

Before the car was in park, she spotted............

To say Delaney was excited is a major understatement.  We waited for the principal to come get us and when she walked around the corner, Delaney ran to her and hugged her (a complete and total stranger of course!).  Delaney saw what will be her room, the gym, and the chapel (the lights were off and Delaney told the principal to go get flashlights!) We met who will be her teacher and Delaney was her typical social self and the teacher could not believe she wasn't hiding behind my legs. I informed her Delaney knows not a stranger.  Before we pulled out, Delaney said "I"m happy".  So I guess I better get to filling out the application.  There's just one problem, did I mention class starts at 8:15???  That's A.M.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still Celebrating

I am thinking winning the Super Bowl can't feel much better than this!!! With the exception of the huge paycheck of course!
